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?

My experience with it (it's me, I'm folks tooling up to use it :mjgrin: ) 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 :hubie: .

Day 4 on the new job. shyt is gravy working with a bunch of Canadians, they all polite and shyt.

A job I interviewed for back in November, I was not selected due to fit (I was probably overqualified and maybe asking for too much money, but they gave me no real feedback)
A different recruiter hit me up about applying for the manager of the job opening I was originally turned down for. Trying to figure out how petty I'm gonna be in my response.

:russ: please let us know how this goes!

Don’t take that kindness for weakness :birdman:
