Thread regarding Teradata Corp. layoffs

As the axe begins to fallIs it time to start calling people out?

What will most definitely be another difficult week for some hard working employees who will be faced with redundancy through no fault of their own, is it time to start calling those culpable individuals out who have just taken an easy ride.

Let’s face it, I wouldn’t dare call people out on this forum but it is possible to ask questions internally through the line managers and leadership about the capabilities of those who have failed to turn the ship around.

Teradata, if it has any credibility should provide a platform for employees to discuss in the confines of confidentiality where they can share concerns. This is not a witch hunt but an opportunity to call out those who have shown lack of aptitude to perform their basic responsibilities.

We all know who these individuals are, the problem is I suspect leadership does also but don’t have the backbone to address it.

Stop the rot by removing those that are helping accelerate it through their incompetence.

I challenge the ELT to be brave and take real action by removing the real leeches in the company that add little value.

@fp When there's a climate of fear of the next RIF and you've seen what happens to those who may have provided "constructive criticism" you might think twice before speaking your mind.

Why wait until you leave to voice constructive criticism? If we care about Teradata's success and the people still here, then feedback should be a continuous part of our culture. It should not be saved for moments after decisions are made or teams are impacted.

Constructive 360-degree feedback, shared across all levels of the company, helps surface both challenges and solutions while providing time to drive actions. Staying silent or waiting only reinforces dysfunction. If change is the expectation, we need to lead by example through timely, respectful, and actionable input. That is how progress happens.

Still a believer, good for you. Just going to hurt tad bit more. Candid feedback in strict confidence makes HR job easy. Tell you what, Why dont you ask your question to drunk McMillan directly before the al-hands. Confidence and candor.
No 1on1 for me today. Not yet.
