Health Benefits suck.
Upper Management lost and are to busy patting themselves on the back and tell all the rest of the lower worker bees how great they are. CTO is so lost, does not know where he is or where he has been. For a regulated company in the Health Care industry, CTO does not understand his role. His lackeys he brought in have done their due diligence in getting rid of all the top talented IT staffed they had. IT department is became a ghost town, and those left are trying to hold up the foundations that have to many cracks to deal with, and they too will leave the sinking ship.
CTO decided Magellan IT should go agile, great thought, however, instead of working and getting coding done, they are having meetings to discuss what should be done. And then another meeting to discuss how they should do the next meeting and so on. Another words meeting by death of code. So business done by meetings not actually getting any work done.
Worker bees tossed from one team to the next, changes is constant making hard to trust one another. When I started I was on a great team before CA man came in, and we did get a lot done. We took care of the customers, we took care of each other. This has been lost.
CTO/managers pitted teams against each other instead of collaborating together. Again making the work environment hard for all. Agile coaches talk a good game, however, they are just as destructive as management. It's like they are in charge, instead of the team leads. Again making hard to do work, to many chiefs.
CTO brought in his pet projects, such as work place, a waist of time and money unless you a sycophant and live on it to suck up. He brought in other projects in as well, using up all the cash reserves...meaning no raising or bonuses unless you are one of the yes men.
With all that has happened ones has to give pause, does the rest of the C's understand what the CA man has done to their company or do they really care, or is this the plan from the beginning. It is really to bad, they made a bad choice and the worker bees now suffer from there actions.
Now those left have to many balls to juggle, they only thing they can do is let them drop. They are set up for failure.
So Congratulations to CA man and his lackey's , you took a wonderful IT group and destroyed it. You met your goals and achieved them better then anyone could have seen. Before long you will jump and do it all over again.
You and lackeys have no honor, nor loyalty, this obvious in your treatment of the rest of the those who left, who will leave and those who stay on the sinking ship.
