Two to three weeks is NOT mandatory. You must be new around here.

two or three weeks notice is mandatory.
Everyone is complaining that nothing is getting done as all contractors are fired. What are FTEs doing all this time?
Looks like Cognizant and TCS are the big beneficiaries this time as usual
I know people will say they are consultants and can be let go but the bottom like poor mgt and leadership from shanks and vivid cost 700 plus families their incomes.
Their are real impacts to people when leaders can’t do the job
they tried to run the cloud like they are doing on prem. Layers of management and control. It’s going to cost 3x more.
What. Did they switch to another cloud?
Lots of money spent on AWS and now poof! Where’s Mahooooood?
Hearing the Shanks Secret Sauce crew is on a short lease with finance. People sick of shanky undelivering on work and spending like crazy on expeNse
My director says we will get more oversight and cuts as a result
Why is anyone surprised this was a S!!T show .
Hanky panky shanky and vivid the Villain thrilling and shilling
And the yes people say yes yes yes
Agree 100 percent s!!t show from Vivid.
First infosys now this debacle.
Amazing it does it catch up with him.
He must bath in the secret sauce
Few friends just joined GTS as contractors last week, dont think this is company wide.
They were not told early and get nothing unless they work for a consulting firm that has bench pay. Some literally were working issues and calls on jabber and in the afternoon the uncomfortable notices came. What a utter unprofessional sh-tshow.
@1343QEo2-2syq LOL. No
They probably were told. We transitioned first wave and second wave successfully to INFY. We can do this too. Hopefully they paid the contractors a month's notice or something
It is not reasonable to terminate the contractors with out giving at least two weeks notice. Very difficult to find good resources due to bad reputation.
Which locations are affected?
Amy in Baskin Ridge? Psicataway?
My group has not heard on the budgets. Any facts out there on the IT cuts and what’s next
Thousand cut? FTEs next? Budgets are cr*p. Yay 2.0.
You know it
My old VP called this out to the secret sauce chef and he was let go right after
🤔
Be careful out there
🤔
90 % of T&M contracters gone in some project.
Forward together.... right off the cliff.
Many contractors were very good experienced workers. I can’t the same about infy. So far, they gave us fresh out of college inexperienced employees. It will take 2-3 years before infy becomes productive and can deliver quality projects on time.
Dallas is the epicenter for IT corruption. Finally things are getting fixed.
they are cleaning up the mess created by various directors and ED, who gave contracts to their favorite vendors.
Having one or two sourcing agencies, be it infy, ibm or other is better.
The plan is to let go of all the other vendors and only to get them via Shanks personal company info vizion, as leads we cant get any work done when there is no accountability from them. I would rather do it myself or the poor VDSI folks who do all the heavy lifting.
Very Poor Planning from CIO (Shankar), SVPs (Vivek, Mahmod (who left)). First Let them go. There is no Planning from these guys.
@1343QEo2-1nro same situation. The rebadged employees were given new Verizon ids after the transition. So they had to be given new ids along with people who joined new
Exactly. Poor planning. Poor leadership. Good social media posts tho from VPs
Poor leadership
What about those infy folks who were not VZ employees before the rebadge. I don’t think they could access prod unless something has changed in the past few days.
@1343QEo2-1vdd I dont know about all products but INFY had access to prod from a "clean" environment since May of last year. They were supposed to login from a verizon location but many were working from home
I wonder why now? I suspect it’s because access to prod was granted to infy. Before only full time employees and contractors had access to prod.
That's the point of having contractor vs full-time employee, company can bring them on & let them go as needed.
Yes. True.
90% of contractors got wiped up from Irvine location . I wish this kind of decision is made by some bot and the person who is taking decision should be let go first.
They get let go all the time.
Yes, I don’t know how many but the proverbial c-ap seemed to hit the fan suddenly and without warning.
I heard only the ones not part of the friends and family crew got the boot
The real question is did they get a bottle of Shanks Secret Sauce on the way out ?
