Internal IT will be significantly reduced, then outsourced

The job of the new CIO is to cut the IT budget in half and then outsource most of internal IT. They stopped all funding for new projects. They also created organizational chaos and uncertainty with the goal to have the good people leave. In parallel there are many consultant and vendor engagements to prepare for outsourcing.

Yes, especially desktop. Ok, I have a lot of IT experience, including windows and IT in general. The first two levels of support do not even understand what I’m saying when I describe my problem.

@tfi+14hVoTie I work in IT and I think I can spot a few instances of mangers/directors hiring their family. These particular individuals are awful at their jobs and given insane amounts of slack/no scrutiny. Looking to get out asap

IT's problem is the layers of incompetence and corruption. VPs hiring unqualified friends to lead organizations, while managers quietly hire relatives through contractors.
