[QUOTE="upscorpis, post: 201640, member: 2017"] Alwaysaware - the conditions you speak of are local to your Portfolio Manager. He's on a rampage lately. I also know those names mentioned and got quite a chuckle from those depictions. We've been losing good people as well. The company is no longer giving out titles to folks to make up salary differences so the good ones walk when they hit the boundary to the next unit level. I've been telling those above me for some time that we need to change the compensation system in IT to better compete with the rest of the industry. I mentioned making the entire MIP amount optional cash/stock, 1/4 units or 1/2 units, anything to change the current system to be more competitive. The result of this total rewards thing may do just that. Layoffs are not an issue where I am. I've not heard about layoffs until reading this thread. We generally have more work than we can get done. For some time, there has been a lot of pressure from the top level to do more with the same headcount. That is beginning to make our architectures too tactical, which shows up later as more cost, lower quality, and slower time to market. The result is evident with recent software releases referred to in an earlier post. I only hope that those who are pressing the gas pedal see that and react accordingly. I've begun to see signs of that occurring. I'm not entirely enthralled with the way things have gone lately but I can't say I'm all in the dumps either. Business is business and the company has to change with the times. Change is always met with resistance so it is no surprise there so much uproar. I still think the glass is half full but I do admit I'm watching that glass more closely than in the past. [/QUOTE]
