@Cesar RM You will appreciate this work gossip I hear today

About a year ago, the entire team of one of the major systems we use quit within a three week period. There were three of them, they'd been here for years, and I was like, "What happened?" Because you know when an entire team up and quits at once, something had to happen. Ever since then, trying to get anything accomplished in this system has been like pulling teeth. Stuff that used to be turned around in a day or two now takes weeks. If it ever gets done

Anyway, today, one of my coworkers told me what happened there...apparently, we got a new CIO right before they quit...I had not put that together. They all came in the office on the same day so the CIO could meet these guys. They introduce themselves and tell him that their admins for this particular system. The CIO says to them, "Oh, so you guys are the cancer in the company?"

Of course, they were automatically like, "What?" The CIO says, "Yeah, if I had it my way, this system would go away." These guys spent years getting their certifications for this system, so of course, they all started talking and wondering if they were going to have jobs.

They all found jobs within a three week period after that. The CEO had to put out a message because the rumor mill got going that this system was going away, and literally no one wants it gone besides the CIO.

So that is the story of how most people's jobs have become harder because an a******e manager couldn't keep his mouth shut.

He's probably too high on his own farts to notice.

Our main system was built on MS DOS in the 1980s... (That is in fact going away). We have another system that we're running on a modified Edge extension because it's so old that it only runs on IE with a previous version of Java. The phone system (which is a soft phone) that we initially bought was so terrible that it got replaced within a year (I literally didn't have a working phone for almost a year, I just did everything through MS team's.)

But sure, the system that's one of the newest in the company, everyone depends on, and never breaks... that's the problem. 🤦‍♀️

Probably the guy fears change and anything complex. Like a rotary phone is too complex for him. Hence why he kepts outdated garbage and tries to remove the newest stuff.
