Multiple people gone in one day

I’ve never seen anything like this before. We have multiple people giving their notices on the same day in the same department. How is that even possible? I think attrition is much worse than any of us can even imagine. We’ll know soon enough what that means for the company.

In product and engineering, I've seen 20+ people I work CLOSELY with leave over the last 6 months. And I know there are others leaving that I don't work with currently.

When I started a year ago, I didn't know who was on each team. Now, if you ask seasoned employees who to reach out to on a team, they hesitate and don't know who has taken over due to the attrition.

it's the wild west

@6wds+1cKtipKo: I know what you're talking about. My team laughs all the time and says why do we need developers or IT at all when we have MARKETING

Engineering? Not surprised, there's a guy in marketing that talks down about engineers, developers and agencies in every call, and M.e. eats it up. HE'S IN MARKETING guys, not IT lol.

It's possible because the job market for people with data management skills is smoking hot. If people don't seize this opportunity, they will kick themselves the rest of their lives.

The new ELT members are so egotistical they don’t value long-term employees. They don’t know what they don’t know. It will bite TDC but the executives will cash in their RSUs and move on with no second thoughts. While the BOD gets rewarded for passively watching this train wreck.

TD going the way of Kornbluth's "Marching Mo--ns". Only a matter of time before lonely old hackers and fudge packing confused are all that's left. Glad to be gone these five years.
