“Leaving Babylon, Set The Captives Free”, sang Bob Marley.
Interesting today to notice the number of a particular software supplier to public sector and SocialHousing’s senior software staff on LinkedIn, now helpfully displaying a ‘#OpenToWork’ badge. Some folk I have worked with and many who have toiled in assorted roles, for that particular supplier for many years in some cases.
Its mainly Local Government product specialist staff from Civica I am spotting this week. Once you have come across a couple, its not a trickle but a tsunami. A proper exodus.
I hope for him he isn’t, however it can only be negative for future development of the Cx products, if most of the product design knowledge leaves the building in a hurry. The rush to get a recommendation sorted with Jeff Hewitt is justifiably on!
What does this say about the housing products, is that maybe Cx Housing, Assets & Contractor development parked now? Is perhaps a brand new product planned? Why not get some hotshot games programmers in, using generative AI to cut code, save costs and write a brand new solution set? There might yet be some silver-lining here.....
Before that, I am sure from what some tell me in the sector, many sites will be still hoping their Cx implementations will still eventually get properly finished off first.
For sure, potentially some competitors, particularly ones winning big and delivering it too recently, will clearly benefit from this new talent source on the jobs marketplace. Failing that, they can join the growing band of ex-employee ‘specialists’, who earn good money shoring up implementations, once original project days are exhausted.
It is also coming up to Christmas and winter is one of the worst times to be redundant. I know, I’ve been there done that. If you have been made redundant at this time, take care and be sure to look after your mental health – its important and might save your life. Also remember, as one Glassdoor closes, quite often another one generally will magically open.
