This sounds like one of the most screwed up environments I've heard of in a while!
- tayo42 4y agoMy previous title was sre. I'm looking for a new job and it is a horrible experience because I need to every time dig into what exactly their sre is. Which is even more annoying because every sre job is some "everyday is different" bs.
- InvaderFizz 4y agoVery, very screwed up. Duct tape and bubble gum. My goal over the next 24 months is to get enough of the projects, automation, and other sustainability issues resolved that I can tackle the SRE team problem. Starting with firing 90% of them once all processes are automated away and they can no longer justify headcount(3x the headcount of DevOps). It will be a battle, that VP has nothing but SRE under them and the only reason they werent fired years ago is because of their connections with the CEO.
- mhio 4y agoSounds like they renamed the app support team to dev ops, and the ops team to SR and were done. Pretty standard move in some organisations to "keep up with the times".
