Naive, although ignorance is bliss.
Thus far, CNS has not been impacted. There would be large scale work that needs to be done before oursourcing and don't see any movement in that direction.
Why has CNS become SO heavy when the role is handled by FSS and fheg?
Why CNS employees not housed at corp?Why duplicated responsibilities and horse shit service level from CNS to the divisions?
Not in the loop I guess. Networking is one of the first outsourced departments for large companies, after payroll and support because it is not considered part of the core business applications and processes.
We covered this already. Development not CNS is impacted.
CNS, especially those who have been around for awhile, you are on the "hit" list now. They did appreciate your help previously though, but that was so yesterday is is all forgotten. Used and abused... it's just the way things fall it had to be done sooner or later right?
Coming soon
They call layoffs retirements now.
ML will be chasing sales and margins declines with continuing cuts. Although they continue to be clear - outsourcing is their solution in the long run. Leadership goes to India about every 3 months. Next trip is coming up.
The constant bleeding is killing morale. Always wondering when is the next round of cuts, who will we lose next, will it be me, what benefits will they cut? Can't ever adjust because there is always more bad news coming.

The song remains the same. Migrate to new applications, and move support of the new applications to offshore.
Yep! Drink the Kool-Aid!
Sounds like HR.

In an email his staffers sent yesterday, new Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella talked about restructuring the company to “streamline” and “simplify.” Those reading between the lines are taking this to mean that layoffs are coming.
Clearly no company is immune from restructuring that involves staff cuts.
When you get the hints through the grapevine that something like this is coming at your company, your first response is probably panic. But try to channel that anxious energy into getting prepared in case you are asked to vacate your office quickly.
Follow this checklist when the rumors start swirling: ......
1) Get familiar with your company’s exit policy. Most companies post their severance policy in the company handbook or on the intranet. Review this so you have an idea of what you are entitled to should the worst come to pass.....
2) Protect your personal data. Of course, client information, project documents, and any other intellectual property belongs to your employer. But many employees blur the lines by using their professional email and/or work phone number for personal bank and credit card accounts, social media profiles, or other non-professional parts of their lives. Change over any accounts to your personal email address and phone number so that you don’t disrupt access if that contact information is no longer valid......
3) Collect contact information from colleagues and supporters. You want to maintain your network if you leave. Make sure you have emails and phone numbers for the people you want to keep in touch with— colleagues, vendors, consultants, direct reports, senior management. Keep this in your personal Outlook or personal cell phone. You will have to return company equipment if you’re laid off, so don’t leave your contacts behind too......
4) Update your resume and online profile. While your latest projects and accomplishments are still fresh in your mind—and you can refer to supporting documents as needed—update your resume and online profile. This way, if you’re laid off, you are ready to start your job search immediately......
5) Continue to focus on the job you have. Remember, just because you hear rumors of layoffs does not mean they will happen soon or ever. Therefore, continue to do a great job even while you prepare for a worst-case scenario. Maintain a positive attitude despite any negative water cooler talk. Maintain high performance standards even if your colleagues decide to give up. Remain professional so that you position yourself for continued career advancement if you stay or for a quick landing elsewhere if you go.Your continued strong performance under tough conditions may be the tipping point that convinces the decision-makers to keep you on. Even if it doesn’t, you ensure a strong reference because you continued to do your job......
