Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

overpriced Snowflake is the sh---y 3rd Party the allowed data breach... why do we keeping paying vendors

I never understood why T went with Snowflake one of the most expensive DB vendors out there., that apparently can't secure their DB and our data. Sure T has egg on its face, but what's more f'd up is WE the staff now have to spend all our time on playing compliance whack-a-mole, because of 3rd party vendors cr-ppy products and security.

Adding insult to injury, Snowflake is one of the most overpriced DB out there for what it offers, I don't know what T executive made the decision to go with them , but their head should be the first to roll . All it dd was make the snowflake salesfolks happy with fat commission checks but we now have to spend our days toiling away changing very last password and cert , in addition to all our other work..

T leadership falls for vendor's sales hype all the time and we need to deal with the reprucussions.

Follow the money and you will find an T connection!
Shouldnt have to say, but you asked...The Good ol' Boys club is still raining in the capitalist monies (let's not forget tax dollars as well) and pushing the 4th industrial revolution my friends! You know, kinda like asking...where did all these billionaires come from?!?! Wool over our eyes sheeple only widens the gap for more billionaires and golden parachutes, while they have us fighting for our 3%, negative cost of living raise year after year, for decades now.
We have the playbook for how this "capitalism utopia" ends, but I digress! Good luck to all trying to rub a few coins together and make it to, as financial experts refer to it...the golden years of retirement!

Github migration is a disaster and a security nightmare. I wouldn’t put my code there if I were you. Stay on codecloud. YALT (yet another Legg trainwreck”

SaaS replaces you. T wants you to move your software to a platform, let that vendor manage the stack and then lay you off. Vendor licenses are being paid in place of your pay, benefits, 401k. It’s an indirect form of outsourcing. All the GitHub and jfrog migrations? More outsourcing. Levelup? More and more outsourcing. Anyone left over that can’t be outsourced? Stick them on Israel’s TeamUp so they can be constantly monitored. Hilarious that Snowflake isn’t its own cloud. It’s hosted by Azure, AWS, and GPC. There are layers of software licensing that is eliminating you. Slowly cooking ATT jobs. All that’s left is Tech M, to be laid off after you are gone, by AI systems. Union isn’t even digging holes or connecting equipment. Contractors are brought in for fiber.

These golf course deals aren’t working out so well.

OP, it is impossible to tell from reading your rambling speculation. Is your point that the vendor failed to provide a secure framework, or that AT&T failed to properly make use of the afforded security framework, or is it possible that you have no foundation for the claims you are making?

PoS execs still get their millions in salary and bonuses while the millions who paid their bills see their private information exposed, again. Time for corps to carry the significant financial and time burdens imposed on those whose private, personal information has once again been compromised.

Everything they have migrated to the cloud to save a few bucks has gone to sh-t.

I stare at the hour-glass on my computer for almost an hour and a half every day waiting for the cloud. I know, I've timed it. What else am I going to do when my computer is locked up. Its that or watch TV on my phone.

Ask ALL the employees that were just laid off due to the cybersecurity spin off to LevelBlue

T pays vendors so T can continue to layoff the workers that previously did the work.

We keeping paying vendors because we’ve laid all our dedicated, loyal and resourceful resources (remember when our people were T’s most valuable resource). Those of us left are just patching up the messes (or training low cost / off shore replacements)
