heard from a senior manager there could be some layoffs in india also
No impact in India as of today. Over 250 people left Teradata voluntarily in 2019. So attrition is high and there is hiring freeze. Only 5% people are on bench rest all are billable/productive/core ops. So India should not be impacted.
Instead of focusing on the developers in India why don't we focus on removing the useless management in US? Most of the PS managers don't do anything and just read PowerPoint slides. They create more work for actual developers and not add any value to the companies bottom line. I can send some names in PS top managers who are worthless.. no management skills nor any technical skills.. the story you wrote here is good but it doesn't apply to low level developers here. You want to get rid of the entire management in offshore more power to you. I don't think anyone will miss these manager starting from top.
situation in india is like ant story
Every day, a small ant arrived at work early and starting work immediately, she produced a lot and she was happy. The boss, a lion, was surprised to see that the ant was working without supervision. He thought if the ant can produce so much without supervision, wouldn’t she produce more if she had a supervisor!
So the lion recruited a c—roach who had extensive experience as a supervisor and who was famous for writing excellent reports. The c—roach’s first decision was to set up a clocking in attendance system. He also needed a secretary to help him write and type his reports. He recruited a spider who managed the archives and monitored all phone calls.
The lion was delighted with the c—roach’s report and asked him to produce graphs to describe production rates and analyze trends so that he could use them for presentations at board meetings. So the c—roach had to buy a new computer and a laser printer and recruit a fly to manage the IT department. The ant, who had been once so productive and relaxed, hated this new plethora of paperwork and meetings which used up most of her time.
The lion came to the conclusion that it was high time to nominate a person in charge of the department where the ant worked. The position was given to the cicada whose first decision was to buy a carpet and an ergonomic chair for his office. The new person in charge, the cicada, also needed a computer and a personal assistant, whom he had brought from his previous department to help him prepare a work and budget control strategic optimization plan.
The department where the ant works is now a sad place, where nobody laughs anymore and everybody has become upset. It was at that time the cicada convinced the boss, the lion, to start a climatic study of the office environment. Having reviewed the charges of running the ant’s department, the lion found out that the production was much less than before so he recruited the owl, a prestigious and renowned consultant to carry out an audit and suggest solutions. The owl spent 3 months in the department and came out with an enormous report, in several volumes, that concluded that “The department is overstaffed.”
Guess who the lion fired first?
The ant of course “Because she showed lack of motivation and had a negative attitude.
Let them all go
