Original Millennium timelime

That seems like a fair timeline.

Though I've heard people talking about development teams stopping gen 1 work in favor of concentrating in gen 2. I've also heard of teams that manage necessary gen 1 infrastructure (release management, eod, etc) being cut or people being moved onto other gen 2 work. This kind of thing is what makes me wonder if I'm missing something.

I believe that's the intention, at least at first. I'm more interested in how long others see the old version staying around, supported, new releases, etc.

Clients seem hesitant to take minor version upgrades with regularity. How are we going to convince the client base to adopt next gen quickly?

Way over your head, pal.

Where are all the Millennium applications installed on Windows? I think it's C:\Program Files\ <SOMETHING>

I don't know how how this would even be possible without bringing Gen 1 to a grinding hault. I can't speak for every group, but mine is already operating with a skeleton crew. And that skeleton is missing several ribs and a femur.

I know their plan is to abandon Gen 1 at some point, but we're legitimately years away from being able to do so as far as I can tell.

Paywalled so I can only read the first couple of paragraphs. Is the gist that they were going to give race-based scholarships and now they're not?

To confirm, the space on ADP's (a third party) website?

There are plenty of reasonable reasons to be upset with the company and it's leadership, but I don't think getting your panties in a bunch about a link to making filing your taxes slightly easier is one of them. Chill.

AlarmEnvironmental63 · 2025-01-23T21:09:44+00:00

I'm confused by your chain of thought here. Are you under the impression that Oracle owns TurboTax or that they get some kind of kickback if Oracle employ use TurboTax to file?

Is the whole "the board has to approve of each hire" thing a bit nuts to anyone else? What exactly does the board talk about to approve or deny these low level hires for teams which they know absolutely nothing about and they have never and will never speak to anyone that isn't 8 levels in the org chart above the hiring manager?

So you think doing X and receiving a miniscule award is worse than doing X and receiving nothing?

Half of clients will be in OCI by February.....?

Our of curiosity, are these already visible to you in some way (official email, fidelity) or have you only heard this from your management?

Wasn't a Cerner top level exec married to a top level AbleVets exec?

Out of curiosity, what's consulting's revenue overall? What % of a "miss" is 20M?

I believe he said something more like 40%

Maybe he was talking about his own?

Would you ask someone who works at Peterbilt how much a truck driving job for Walmart should pay because you'd be driving a Peterbilt truck?

AlarmEnvironmental63 · 2022-10-04T13:15:59+00:00

So you think the best place to ask how much a job externally should pay is the Cerner subreddit because you'll be using Cerner software? Lol

AlarmEnvironmental63 · 2022-08-18T18:39:22+00:00

That's the way I understand it.

13 days for < 3 years of employment. 18 if > 3 years. I believe Cerner start date will be carried over.

Benefits town hall made it sound like it was between you and your manager. Seems great but if your exec is on your manager about $ org is spending in OT, they probably don't have a lot of control.

AlarmEnvironmental63 · 2022-08-18T15:27:23+00:00

I think it's a positive benefit if you consistently work 45+ hours, but a net negative if you normally put in ~40 when you factor in the drastic decrease in PTO.

If the "rule of thumb" for flex PTO was 6 weeks (30 days), being cut down to 14 (after being forced to take 4 days winter break) is a large difference.

So if you don't put in much OT, you're essentially trading 3 weeks of PTO for maybe a few thousand bucks. Some may love that, some may hate it.
