"Stopping processes that stifle innovation and creativity."
In other words, we're cutting our customer support and care lines, and hiring minimum expense intern workers.
Intern workers are supposed to be better than contract workers with fresh ideas and they cost less. Except they're not better because they don't have any experience, or experience with your local applications, and their "fresh ideas" or methods are really just the ideas they just learned from school. Ideas we already use or have determined were bad, unnecessary, tedious, better alternatives. It is true that they cost less. But when it takes 5x as long to develop, your long term OPEX ends up being a lot higher, and your income reduced over the entire timeline. Meanwhile, your product becomes even more outdated because you can't even keep up with UI/UX and methods from 10+ years ago.
Also, I was brought into a new project team and spent the last two months pulling teeth to discover virtually nothing has been done on the project, and there's nothing for me to do for at least another 6 months. They haven't even gotten the budget approved. So... I'm moving to another team so I actually have something to do until that team gets ramped up.
