Thread regarding CA Technologies (CA Inc.) layoffs

Amen... upper management pushes down so many mandates to fix problems they don't understand and then get upset when the problems still exist

Also.. we didn't run CA into the ground.. Upper management did with their stupid projects and focus on all the wrong things. We have how many middle management guys? How many VP's? They push down c-ap on Support while our numbers are amazing while Engineering gets moved around from state to state, eventually to ITC!

Islandia has been "closing" for years now. We knew the lease was up. The plan was to put us in a new office or lease a few floors in the current building.

There is a lot of IT positions that are not easily replaceable. Plano salaries are high as well. I can only assume Santa Clara and San Jose are the same..

Long Island people are so funny. They have drunk their own Kool Aid for so long they are in denial. If you are a short timer out of Islandia you have no sense of how far that office has fallen the the last 15 years.

If you are a long timer you are already looking and waiting for severance.

“do a lot for this company”

Except the company that you “did a lot” for never increased revenues over the past decade and just sold itself so the ELT could bail out with golden parachutes.

CA is dead. Islandia is closing. Get over it.

"Salaries are going up everywhere. Us here in Islandia do a lot for this company. Broadcom will be very sorry if they slash too much of us. I see more productivity out of this office than most others."

slash too much of us?? What in your view is acceptable level? not "too much" as you say? I also read people upset about the CDC closing. People please! you are living in a bubble and need to prepare now. That is writing on the wall. Think like Broadcom. Lets say they look at the books and see islandia costs $200m in salaries yearly. Cutting 10% saves "only" $20m doesn't move the needle for broadcom. Yes there is probably good work there, but likely a duplicate jobs it will just be easier to consolidate and close the whole office. Has Hock made a visit to that office yet?

What is islandia? Never heard of it

I'm generally in agreement. Working at CA s---s whenever the quarterly earnings report comes and we all worry about the layoffs due to flat growth AGAIN. I just hope I get to come along for the ride and my hopes are not high. I don't work in islandia but I do work in a high salary location.

Islandia is a good example of what needs to change. Big facility with big overhead in a location with high salaries. Half of those functions can be offshored and the other half moved to a more business friendly state with lower salaries.

Hopefully Islandia will be around to be apart of it ;/
