#skillmismatch

One of my colleague and I was terminated on March and 30th June was the last date. I left fis today and my other colleague got in to some other team inside fis even the skills are not matching and the work isn't related at all. I am wondering how the hiring manager and the leadership approve such things to happen!! This is just terrible place.

15yrs experienced software developer from cognizant (offshore) who is working for Nike for last few years doesn't know what is github or doesn't know the meaning of commit / repository. I mean literally some resources don't know anything and i am not sure how many companies they are working at same time. They celebrate when they hear people who make them work get laid off. ITC leaders trying to build their own empire and they don't want to hire people who are talented and have worked for same company. RIP Nike Technology!

Artificial intelligence is creating a significant divide in the global workforce. Professionals with AI skills are seeing increased productivity and higher paychecks. Companies like Meta and Amazon are restructuring roles, with AI handling repetitive tasks. Human workers are left with high-order thinking, strategy, creativity, and empathy. This trend is leading to AI-related layoffs and job redefinition. Without proper reskilling efforts, this gap could become a major structural divide.

Over 6 months into having a BP Staff TSI Engineer take over from a UK based Engineer in my team who was let go.

Myself, and increasingly several others from other disciplines are needing to step in and coach, and correct mistakes from our TSI. Mistakes that rarely happened before and if they did could be sorted over a desk not over time zones.

The bar to entry has been set so incredibly low just to get bodies in chairs.

Yes, they are on 40% of the money, but the output is half, the support required is 4x and it’s demoralising us who are left.

If this is good business I’ll have my hand firmly in the air at the next EOI.

Is that the plan? Workload's unmanageable. Half the tasks are things none of us know how to do. What am I supposed to do? Magically acquire a whole new skillset?

I got this job out of college a few years ago and every time someone tells me to jump ship and so on I'm met with the reality that my skills and knowledge have either remained stagnant or actually gotten worse with this company. Combine that with programing in C and I feel like I've been left holding the bag. I need options here before I somehow find myself replaced by an Indian despite being told "Your work is proprietary and cannot be done by offshore employees," as if that's stopped PHI being leaked and exposed for the past several months or turning entire teams into being contractors for Tech Mahindra.

Is anyone else noticing that the recent hires seem totally unprepared? They don't have the skills, they don't seem motivated, and we're spending all our time training them on basics they should already know. Can we get some competent new hires, please?

What does a Business Analyst do, supporting Fiserv DNA? Is it difficult to catch on if I have BA experience but not specific to DNA experience? I'm thinking about doing an internal transfer for this role but would like to hear feedback from one that has been in a similar role.
