As a manager who is on the receiving end of GoC payroll, you make some excellent points. The key ones are: 3 - reduction of corporate knowledge. My pre-phoenix comp advisor could make shit happen. Now, I can't even get a return phone call.
Likewise, pt 5 (and 3). Example; pre phoenix, our summer students would always have a pay glitch end of July - why, comp advisor on holidays, didn't properly brief their replacement, stuff fell through the cracks.
I think the scale of the problem and suffering is much greater with this implementation than it was under the disparate departmental systems.
Not to be political, but, really that plays into this while conversations is that what I don't think can be ignored in all of this though is that the Harper mentality of consolidate to save money hasn't worked in any regard; just look at Shared Services - try getting timely procurement, and oh, BTW, no spares allowed to be kept... complete clusterf... as well. That's a whole other mess that affects people in a different way - oh, your phone line is down; tech will be there in 2-3 months.
