We all paid people $10-15/hr to be hero's. It caused more confusion than good.. And you never realized it. I feel bad for everyone but it needs to be done. Sooner than later. Sorry...

$15 an hour... No. Never.
Things are done "differently" only in small ways. GIS wouldn't standardize everything because we needed to act as separate companies for legal reasons. The differences were because we're all had different markets send had customers that expected different things. We merged with a much smaller core not long ago and discovered they were doing things manually that were automated. But they were doing them twice a month, we had to do them twice a day. We are not THAT different, the main differences arew in some of the ancillary software we use to accomplish things that EA doesn't do well, like commission.
There was a particular woman who was tasked at ensuring consistent and efficient operations amongst the cores. Let’s call her the ‘captain’ as a play on her last name. She was horrible at accomplishing this, often delegating these tasks to others in the cores. The last accomplishment she had was to have her participation and name included all over the leaked HCL document mapping out our demise. Thanks a lot lady.
No GIS's biggest problem was selling out to Xerox....period, end of sentence!!!
They were a billion $ company, thriving and that still wasn't enough so they sold out and ruined us!!
Ugh... would you quit taking one comment out of another thread and starting its own thread? It's so annoying.
cores were different because they all converted to Eautomate at different times and were not all on the same version either, blame Global for that, the biggest reason why acquisitions of cores were agreed on was because cores were allowed to run as independent companies
HCL thought:
1 we were all on one shared database
2 we were all in the same area
3 they did not know we were 39 separate companies
That is called not doing your due diligence!
Before we were GIS, we were great. During GIS, we were good and for the most part, did our own thing. Once Xerox (Carl Icahn) stepped in, things went to ship.
We have several positions at our core that start under $15. Our admin/operations pay is garbage. We're in Iowa.
Things were done differently because cores varied in size, my core is small, we all wear multiple hats! We were the best before GIS bought us and then we know what what happened when they sold us out to Xerox........sigh
I don't know anything about that side of the business, but if every core is different, we are doing something wrong.
$10 to $15 per hour??? where the heck did you work? if you were only making that I feel sorry for you! the lowest paying job in my core pays $17
My core was awesome, we kicked butt in rankings!
We did what worked best for us and obviously it worked!
