I know some folk tooling up for ServiceNow work and they ain't happy about it.
At a recent office party, the company I worked for celebrated a coworker's 20 year anniversary when he had only done 17 years to throw him some love because of how much he has publicly voiced his HATE for ServiceNow in the past year. I overheard him bytching to my boss, his boss, the SVP of Finance/Analytics etc.
I think the tool might make sense for standardized roles that have repetitive tasks/outcomes that can easily be made more efficient by a manager, but the more specialized your role is, the more it gets in the way imo. Getting the SME to explain why a task is getting rolled to the next week isn't really helping the company
we're moving to servicenow in a few months. I've heard only good things about it.
So based on what i read, it's meant for noobs then?
) doesn't get those old fashioned Software Engineer juices flowing. The closest you really get is some JavaScript scripting. When I saw it I likened it to a fancy excel spreadsheet. "Everything is a record in a table." Create a table, create a form to manipulate that table, and I can't see much beyond that. For the non technical people it's probably the greatest thing since sliced bread. For me? Well it feels like non technical work. It also feels like a nightmare for vendor lock in, but people who get paid way more than me get to decide that

please let us know how this goes!


Always be greedy, when you're trading time for work.

it’s only up from there.
