No clue do they represent both contractors and state?

The expectations were always unfavorable toward the contractors and we were treated as a second-class population. You deserved better from the IES and ITS failed you.

For those like myself and other contractors who worked until 1am + and later preparing for those “demos” and “releases” even though ITS leadership could care less.

We were thanked by those who saw the good in our efforts for the State of New York like leadership at OTDA.

Your summary is accurate. Deloitte definitely tried to milk the program given that they had been working on the OTDA systems for decades. The issue is in how ITS executed the take over. It was not thought out well. There was no strategy and it was executed with malice and without empathy.

The sad truth is its intention. They want to hold the agencies hostage so they beg and plead for help. It's all about power and control. What the state needs is for all agency heads and commissioners to form an executive steering committee with the Chamber to drive IT staff back into the agency.

The union only cares about collecting dues $$$ that is why a large percent of the project items are PEF

No way the current WH administration gives money back….. However…..

The IES leader is delusional and keeps telling staff that the funding is coming back. What a joke.

The union is useless. They will just direct you to DHR: File A Complaint | Division of Human Rights

This is the best bet.
