Teradata has wasted opportunities, allowed incompetent management to remain for years, punished good workers who don't "blend in", and continued to hire incompetents in the ELT and Board. So, I guess they are reaping the "rewards" of years of mismanagement.
And while I'm sorry for the turmoil the workers are going through, they have had ample warning and many have simply been content to take the paycheck. Now the reckoning is coming. Listen to your gut and GET OUT while you can. That puny severance will be gone before you know it.
