What's Driving The Great Resignation / ReShuffle?

Are you the only person in your company still earning what you earned five years ago?

If you're a manager, the answer is probably no. If you're a developer, the answer is probably yes.

If you are a manager and not a developer(or vice versa), it's likely that your income has been increasing over time. Most managers have more responsibility and tend to earn more than their subordinates; if this isn't the case in your organization, it may be time to look elsewhere for employment opportunities.

In general, though: no one's salary stays flat over time unless they like being poor, and given these inflationary times, if you haven't seen an increase in compensation you essentially have been given a pay cut.

What's driving the great resignation / reshuffle?

Corporate greed has gone too far. It's time to say enough is enough!

Corporate greed is bad for the economy, bad for the environment, bad for the community and bad for our country. And when you look at corporate greed on a global scale, it's terrible for all of us living in this world because it destroys economies and environments at home and abroad by making companies move overseas or outsource jobs to countries with lower wages than we have here in America (which means more money goes into their pockets rather than staying here where it belongs)

Corporate greed has created an environment where employees are unappreciated and unsustainable.

The environment at many companies is creating a culture where employees are unappreciated and unsustainable. Corporate greed paired with incompetent leaders that are held hostage by the balance sheet are the primary contributors to 'The Great Resignation'.  In the midst of the recent pandemic, employees now realize how little material things they need and how valuable their time has become and thus wish to spend their time doing something that energizes them and brings them joy instead of working for the betterment of someone else, especially snarky, self-absorbed, and manipulative managers.

Companies have traditionally been lauded for their ability to attract top talent, but now it seems as though many are struggling to retain that talent as well. Employees want more than money; they want a sense of purpose in their lives, which can be difficult when they’re working 80 hours a week picking up the slack of outsourced partners. The competitive nature of business means companies need to offer more than just compensation if they want employees who will stay longer than the next round of layoffs or acquisitions.

The re-evaluation or resetting of what is important to employees can be highlighted in the enterprise software development space where talented developers who were previously hired to actually write software have now been tasked with general support of over-promised and under-delivered products from third party development resources.

When will corporations look to take on challenging technology solutions organically instead of hiding behind some outsourced partners leaving coward managers an out should things not go according to plan...

Is Cloud Computing a Digital Transformation Enabler or Obstacle?

Image
Cloud computing was supposed to make our lives easier. With the ability to access applications and data from anywhere, on any device, it should have simplified things by making systems more flexible and efficient. But according to a new report by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, this isn't always the case: 80% of respondents say that using different cloud applications have added complexity rather than simplifying their IT environment. Cloud computing is everywhere and there's now an expectation that moving to the cloud should be straightforward. Cloud evangelist claims it's easy to develop applications in the cloud, but simple isn't always as simple in practice as it sounds on paper. Keeping It Stupidly Simple - Not So Fast So, what's not to like? In a nutshell: It's not always quite as simple as that. The infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) model is the most widely adopted cloud model today. In Ia...
