I'd be curious to hear from those who posted in the last thread. Are you still working for a failing company? What happened in between then and now?

- debunn 10y agoI posted about the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the last "Who's Firing" thread - which was my employer. All of the 100+ of us affected by the outsourcing have been let go as of January 31st, with some already having lined up full time employment, others taking some time off, or some like myself who are actively exploring potential jobs. If you're curious about the company, it won't fail - having $170B in investment assets means you can pay people to fix whatever is broken - but the Tata Consultancy folks who were hired to replace us are definitely having some problems taking over all of the responsibilities we have left behind. I forsee a great deal of pain in their near future, but I'm sure they'll be fine in a few years - and I honestly wish them well. As for me - if anyone out there is looking for a remote (or Toronto based) 17+ year IT veteran, with a sys admin / web development / DevOps skillset - feel free to send me an e-mail at debunn at yahoo dot com.
- ashconnor 10y agoThe current rumour is that there's going to be another round of outsourcing toward the end of the year. Also as expected the transition from ETS to TCS is not going well. Everyone I've spoken to that has direct contact with them is not pleased. Our union (OPSEU) is meeting regularly to find out how to prevent this type of action in the future.
