It's funny how quick the leadership is to let some of our best people walk away just to realize it takes two or three new people to do the same job the person who left was doing on his or her own. I see this happening over and over again. How is this good business practice? I truly can't understand it.

Yeah the Great Purge began around 2016. Anyone who did the right thing was purged. A student of history would know that these purges are common in history. Nothing but evil. But always justified by a “holier than thou” mentality.
NS got fired?
It's not a jab against a modern tech org, it's firing someone that isn't effective at communicating and executing a vision with the rest of the company. Tech isn't an island. NS didn't get fired because things were just going so well that people got jealous. He may have had a great vision according to tech, but he wasn't able to execute on it and now we're worse off than before. That is the only job of a C-level executive, and that's called bad leadership when you can't do it.
Galaxy is fine and better in some regards, cntrl-f will work and will be worth it if it is see n through. Having a separate qa org does not make sense, if they get running in this new modle they will gain a bunch of efficiency. Shedding Neal feels like a jab against a modern tech org from an old school culture of many contractors and under market fte engineers.
Give credit to the NS and his cronies for this brilliant plan. They force out one of the only good vendors we had (Cognizant), then organize a smoke and mirrors VMO led by a bunch of rejects to get bottom of the barrel talent for bottom of the barrel prices. Of course they then ask us to massively upskill with Ctrl-F(ailure). Now we want better engineers for less money? No surprise they’re starting to get ctrl-f(ired) and half of tech went to Christian. I feel like Jeff is finally an adult in the room, and I’m looking forward to see what he does with our new org.
Welcome to the incompetent corporate NM! HCL, Infosys and some other cheap vendors are in the game so they let employees go!
