I’ve had the pleasure of doing some contract work that involved dealings with Conduent, and my oh my are they absolutely horrible to work with, and generally incompetent.
Their m.o. is to put you on the phone with some folks from Bangalore, where if you ask anything off script they stonewall you with “that’s against internal security policy.”
Then, because the project is 6 months delayed and the main stakeholders are upset (the ones paying $$$ of taxpayer money), some account manager there CC’s every living soul who has ever been involved and tries to get them all on the phone together, which goes about as well as you would expect. Promises get made, timelines agreed upon, and then they never deliver.

- SlowRobotAhead 9y agoSounds exactly the like the type of company states choose to be sole suppliers of software and services. Not even joking, this sounds perfectly typical in my experience.
- hamandcheese 9y agoI suppose there is comfort in choosing an organization that operates similarly to your own.
- gt_ 9y agoThis proposition is missing an actual motive. In other words, what’s comfortable about that? We might also ask “what is ‘their own’?” If you are proposing that the government is the organization of the elected officials, you’re wrong. A democratic government belongs to the members of the society. Many Americans don’t realize that so I’ll assume you’re one of them. In reality, most American elected officials don’t make decisions on behalf of their electorate because they get paid more by private companies to specifically not do so, which is clearly the issue at hand. But furthermore, if you are an American, it is your society who hired this company by proxy, and who is paying for it. When you give these strange narratives which insult your own government, you are only insulting yourself. You are the people who let this happen.
- hamandcheese 9y agoNo, I’m talking about an organization of civil servants, with layers of beuracracy and process, similar to any large organization.
