When it pops up on my cell phone all it will say is “wireless caller” if it’s not a contact I have saved.
The track record for this group is pretty good in that they seemingly leave companies better off than they bought them but that is of course subjective, and financial health doesn’t directly translate into a good place to work they have definitely been hands on but so far it has been more “let us show you how we can make this better” than slash and burn
I am in the middle of the first of 8 monthly sessions for “high achievers”. It’s 2-4 hours of LinkedIn pages come to life.
should I have a lawyer review this employee agreement. just a few pages. not sure I understand some of it... it kinda sounds like they say I can't get a job for 2 years after leaving the company

The biggest thing I miss from Slack that Teams doesn't offer is the "remind me" feature that Slack had. That ruled. Other than that, Teams is fine.
My previous employer was acquired by PE about a year before I started. I was there for a little under 4 years and during that time there were massive shifts in the company's overall strategy twice, minimal, if any, merit raises, never met the metrics that triggered funding the bonus pool (although they did pay them out 2 of the years anyway at least), and nickel and dimed everything. A month or so before I left I had a lengthy despite with them over reimbursing $75 of ink and paper for a printer that they had purchased for me to use at home.
For me as a software dev, Teams really still sucks for pasting code snippets and formatting them. The biggest issue I have though is that you can't thread in a chat like you can in Slack, Teams forces you to use a "team" which amounts to a message board that's so much more asynchronous than using a chat. I guess that was somewhat the intended point but I'm basically context switching having to dig through 100 teams to catch up rather than chats I can easily create and manage on the fly.
My business unit at a Fortune 5 company was purchased by a much smaller company in Oct of 2017. One of the first emails our unit received from the new company was, "we made an agreement to not let any employees go prior to January 2019". So that was a reassuring intro to Allscripts. I was gone by January of 2021. Over 70% of the people were let go before Allscripts was purchased by another company. GOOD LUCK!
received email from a consultant the acquiring company hired to help with the acquisition’s integration. they want to meet with me to learn more about my scope of work. I’m sure they’re doing this with a lot of folks. I just have the Office Space Bob’s scene in my head
My legacy company had 15 SAPs globally and the company we are merging into had 1. We just finished the blackout and integration to move to the singular SAP and whooboy I know nothing about this but it seems like struggle bus central
It amazes me boomers still "pls make your edits before XX:XXam....need to download a local copy to run the presentation" It's fucking SharePoint. It's no different then your local copy. Just open the God damn deck and leave it saved to SharePoint
We still have people who will complain if excel stuff isn't in a printable format. WHO IS STILL PRINTING THIS?
Luckily my broke ass company has made printing things out such a hassle that the olds have been forced to adapt. The official stated purpose is information security and compliance but it's just as much cost related.
And now Slack has AI to summarize/recap threads for you automatically or on demand, which really rules. Out of office for a few days, in an all day leadership workshop, and drowning in messages? No problem - hit recap, and then decide which items you should prioritize for in depth review & follow up.
Allscripts definitely sucks…it is a shame that no company in the “health IT” space is willing to put Epic in their place…because that company sucks for a myriad of reasons, and is one of those monopolies that operates under the radar.
My 100 person startup (not mine, but I was employee 18 and a director) just got acquired by a 7K person company. "Luckily" i was brought over with the acquisition but HOLY SHIT it is wild to me how siloed things are, no one knows anything, there are 18 people for 1 job. Its a shitshow.
I don't really want to post where I work but my company is basically a competitor to Epic in most ways except we aren't an EMR system ourselves, we just work with a bunch that the practices choose.
I work for a global, fortune 100 company, and even we have to compete with Epic. The stranglehold that company has on CFOs and CIOs is remarkable to observe sometimes. They’re literally ok saying Epic’s solutions are “good enough” when talking about patient care & outcomes because it means they won’t risk pissing off Judy and her minion hordes that hold advancements back by decades under the guise of “data security”
I never worked for Epic, but what I had heard through networking was enough for me to never consider applying there.
When I tell people we’re not on Epic I get a look like I said it in another language. Just pure bewilderment.
my god… the nice thing is you can definitely fucking coast, the downside is if you want to get shit done you really can’t.
This is so true. Had a reorg last February where my division merged into another one. It got me out of sending a report to a VP for 6 months because no one knew who to send it to before sending it to the VP and no one told me he had been asking about it.
Guessing they rewrote damn near the entire code base because there's no good reason that you need to install a separate app. That being said, the new app isn't as resource hungry.
Click on the search bar in the taskbar in Windows and search for startup. Click on startup apps. Find teams and click the toggle button to turn it off…. Unless your IT team has set it up so that part is locked down
This guy has a shitty IT team. In the Teams admin center you disable legacy teams which forces users to the new teams and gets rid of this message.
Not feeling it today, boys. It’s going to be one of those “move the mouse enough to mostly stay green” days.
Catching up on this thread. Glad to see I’m not the only one who works at a place no one knows WTF is going on ever. Switched companies just under 2 years ago. Similar job description, but my old job I had to do almost every step of the process so by default I learned some things. Here, every step is done by a different dept, but if you ever have a question about it no one on that team seems to have an answer (no matter what dept you’re asking). We could do the same task everyday and each day someone would act like they’d never seen it before in their life. Drives me nuts.
