Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

RIP Desktop Engineering

Nobody is at the helm of this ship! What the heck is going on? We have like 5 VDI solutions and absolutely no clear messaging as to what our future is. Today it’s mass confusion because WAVE is going away and laptops are coming back. Of course, instructions are vague, syncing doesn’t work, apps not installed. Nobody is testing this s$%t. Very bad decision making. Please do the needful and let LB go!

Run away from cloud pc. RUN AWAY

Or better yet, make IT execs use it
And then it will have the proper execution it deserves.

That’s because most of the engineers from that LOB were let go two months ago. They hardly have anyone there anymore

@a3+1jyqgfws4 Way to miss the point of @OP.

Wells does make some amazingly poor, Fall Forward choices. But whatever, not my circus, not my monkeys. It’s all just work. I don’t get why people get all worked up over choices they can’t control. Work with the tools you’re given, done.

What is VDI? Venereal disease indicated? Sounds like tech offshoring is going smoothly.

While the "performance" of my CloudPC is variable (some days it's very slow), it's significantly faster than the trash hardware I'm issued to access it. I wouldn't want to try running apps on this laptop anymore because the amount of security bloat on it has destroyed its ability to do anything other than act as a terminal.

I don't trust the remaining IT staff to engineer, and support, a functional managed corporate desktop platform.

Corporations exist to make money. If there is something that inhibits your productivity, make a business justification to get an exception. Exceptions happen because blanket processes don’t always work for everyone nor are they always in the best interest of the business.

Should have bugged your +2 manager to give you an exemption.

I have never had to use WAVE or any other VDI.
