I am able to retire in just a few short years. After being here for so long and seeing all the negative changes occur I’ve basically reached my limit and decided to look for other means of employment - actually any means of employment outside of “Corporate America”. I just want to spend the last few remaining years I have to work in a stress free environment away from the politics and toxicity TD is known for. Wish me luck in getting something soon!

I left my 15 year career at Teradata a year ago because of the toxicity created by NH and WW in GTM. The two of them made it a miserable place for anyone to work unless you were too incompetent to know better. I do not miss the bs and am making $30k more than I was at Teradata. I wish the OP success and less stress as the grass is definitely greener on the other side of Toxidata.
@3xnd+1adMK08D - that's a tough but unfortunately true way to say it. It's not the employee's fault that their manager & company wouldn't move forward with technology and held the employee back. In the end, Teradata continued to be rich and the employee lost a lot of value in their skillset.
Best to retire. With your antiquated skills you might be better off teaching 70's mainframe coding at a retirement home.
I'm pretty sure the two negative Nancy's on here are from Digital Marketing ...nice work M.e., you have REAL WINNERS left on your team. To the OP - Good for you! Just because TD has cornered the market on toxicity and stress, there are A LOT of companies out there who treat their employees with respect & dignity. It won't be hard to find! Good luck in your next steps in life!
"What color vest?" Orange is already locked down by the penitentiary and TD, and ultimately leads to a straight jacket. Do better ELT interns.
In reality, the only stress free job devoid of politics would be working a fast food register. With responsibility comes stress and politics along with a decent pay check. Then again, working for the federal government could be an option. You'd have to become adept at being unable to find your arse with either hand.
What color vest?
I wish you the best in work and in health!
