I shouldn't play poker. I am a terrible poker fan.

00:00:03 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yeah. You're, like, smiling.

00:00:06 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
I was like, Shawn. Dude, if he's smart, he he has access to see all the notes. It's not like that's why I was just gonna tell him, like, dude, I hear you. But here, I got a proposal for you. You're gonna like this one. Shrink this meeting that we just had down to a half hour and make this the update and add, like, Pascal and, like, three other people to it and call it a day.

00:00:29 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yeah. That's probably a better idea because I don't I don't need more that this is what I was trying to tell him yesterday is like, did you lose me?

00:00:36 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah. Let's just no. No. I was just gonna say, turn the IT one into a thirty minute, add Pascal and whoever else a couple key stakeholders are to make them and god's call that. I mean, that's just a thought, but I think that'd be easier.

00:00:53 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
I'm down for that because, yeah, I don't need any more goddamn meetings. So yeah. Mean, I was in I think I was in four Adaptec meetings. Why should I do? I

00:01:05 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
yeah. I was gonna just tell you that I think that this meeting is a waste of time, frankly, at this point. We're off and running. We understand the task. If he wants a report out, like, use this time, shrink the thirty minutes, and let that be an update with him. But

00:01:18 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Well, because IT has kinda gotten to the point where we don't need to have our weekly.

00:01:23 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
I I feel like we've got a plan. We're good. We're executing. The network build happened yesterday. We have the VLAN up. I mean, we we're we're in the firewall rules right now, and we have a separate Teams channel with IT over at Shaper to give us all the information we need. So I I think we're in the operational phase of our work, at least for the first part. What I really need is a way to figure out if some we have a meeting with Christophe on Tuesday at my request to engage coordinated, because I wanna get me, Gage, and Christophe better aligned on this Adaptex employee thing because we have employees who we wanna give access to sooner than later, but they're not gonna be TTS employees. And so I'd like to know who assigned a commitment to stay. For example, has Brendan signed a commitment? If he has, I'd like to get him an account so we can get him in Salesforce.

00:02:19 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Okay. I believe 11 have signed, two have declined based on what I saw on the spreadsheet, but I'd have to confirm that. I can't remember.

00:02:27 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Is that is that Lisa?

00:02:31 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
I actually don't know who it is. It's either it's Lisa or Jen or maybe HQ directly. I actually don't know.

00:02:38 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
I'll ask Lisa. I don't mind. I just I'm good running with it. I I just don't know if, originally, it was Amity, and then it kinda became Lisa. And then

00:02:48 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Do me a favor. Just email Lisa, copy Amity and me on it, and just say, who owns the new employees? And I need a list. And that way, we all have it. And because Lisa's

00:02:57 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah.

00:02:57 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Kinda drinking from a fire hose at the moment and a little frustrated. And Yeah.

00:03:03 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
I think some of that might be, though, expected. I I mean, I expected her job to be an absolute train wreck for for this project. But yeah. Cool. She I will she yep. I will talk We can talk more.

00:03:20 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Dumpster fire. Yeah. So oh, by the way, I did get admin access to Paycor yesterday. Well, not admin, at least. Pretty good access. Like, looks like maybe read only. I can't edit things, which is fine. But so if we need staff data or whatever, I have quick, fast, direct access to it. So just let me know.

00:03:39 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
No. I mean, I don't need staff data, generally speaking. Like, I I would like to make about a 100 changes in Paycor to clean up the disaster, and we've asked repeatedly for that access. And

00:03:50 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Yeah. That's kinda where I'm going with it is just trying to figure out. Sorry. Handbooks. I'm trying to figure out, like, how I help them. So I I had a half hour meeting with Kate this morning, and she's gonna change a bunch of things for me today. So maybe I align with you engage from an IT side and say, how do we make, like, Active Directory and Paycor look somewhat similar as far as data structures, titles, things like that. So but I want us to be a part of the design of the new system so that it goes in cleanly.

00:04:19 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Yeah. And the thing is the prob yeah. We can talk about this later, but the the problem is they want it the way they want it and they don't wanna change. And I'm not gonna we're not gonna change the global standard so that it meets them. I mean, it's the global standard. We're gonna use the fields in AD the way we're told these.

00:04:36 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
I think we can get it to change. I think a lot of it was Ryan wanted certain things because Kate said that half of it doesn't make sense to her, and and then they use fields that came from Barb because they didn't know any better. And I was like, Barb doesn't give two shits as long as you tell her how to map them, so we we'll figure it out.

00:04:50 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
I would I would agree. Yeah. The that's unfortunately, I think, a low priority in our world at the moment.

00:04:56 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
It is. But as we go towards this data conversion this summer, it's something I wanna keep in mind and at least have you guys in the room when some of those decisions are made. Like you said, maybe we don't change some of them, but maybe we do. So

00:05:07 - [SHAWN_REMICK]
Some of the issue too is just, like and I I don't I don't feel open. Like, I know there's no openness to this right now, but, like, it's just the way they do work. It's terrible. Their work process is broken, and I don't know how you fix that. But problem for another day, man.

00:05:26 - [SCOTT_WARNER]
Sounds fair. Alright. Alright. Talk to a bit later. Later.
