A Kaiser TC caused a downtime due to not following TC process in SU review, and it was blamed on the application TS who owned the code that broke, who was fired.<br /><br />Not like anyone knew that the code existed in the first place because the customer had introduced the custom code and not told anyone at Epic.<br /><br />Every TS team had a meeting after that incident on how to respond to such a manmade disaster, but nobody dug into the root cause, which was Kaiser introducing the problem because we didn't pursue the functionality they wanted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2200696044657232984.post-50549410560476825522014-08-11T17:52:28.280-05:002014-08-11T17:52:28.280-05:00Glassdoor.com points to similar problems at Cerner...Glassdoor.com points to similar problems at Cerner, but I didn't read that many reviews.

They don't always say much at the team meetings, and they get more and more customers as time goes on. There are also those who speak up all the time at meetings, and they get one customer and lots of internal workgroups/projects. They're the ones that get promoted to TL.

I noticed something interesting in my last few months. It seemed to me that the people who were being promoted to TL were not the people who were really good at their jobs and actually working with customers. It was the people who were mediocre at their actual role, but who hop on the 'let's put a process around every tiny thing' bandwagon and start speaking the Epic language. There's no retraining or helping struggling employees because many of the TLs themselves are too incompetent to know where to start.Former TSnoreply@blogger.com
