Get your pay process together
Get your pay process together
Got to work with better technology. From the town halls I listened to, Hubert Joly and his C-level team had a solid grasp on the company's issues. They deserve kudos for that. Developers and BAs were mostly good to work with.
Software development process had issues. Project Manager couldn't earn the respect of the team. My paycheck was late 3 out of the last 5 I had there. I had to pay my rent! Equipment to test software on POS machines was constantly broken. I had to walk all the way across campus to use another lab on two ingrown toenails. Ouch. They have a reputation of being tough to work for and having bad software development practices.
C-level management: You're doing it right.
My immediate management and Randstad Technologies: I was almost evicted because I couldn't pay my rent because you couldn't pay me. You blame me and put a black mark next to my name, even though the Best Buy's HR person admitted the team had huge turnover issues. If you wanted performance, you should have worked together instead of putting me in the middle of it. I'm not Accounts Payable and Receivable, especially when I'm taking over the jobs that three people vacated.
