Thread regarding Teradata Corp. layoffs

I want to take a min to appreciate the WLB here

Looking at this comment on r/cscareerquestions "Literally everyone and their grandma is going for roles with good WLB.

Since a lot of people have been completely burned out by how companies have been treating them the past few years and want a break. Also, the number of relaxed companies has been decreasing. So it's very high competition for extremely low supply. Wouldn't be surprised if there's only a couple hundred roles that fit this criteria in America right now.

Your best bet is to go for a company with a non-toxic culture, but still expects a decent amount of work. There's barely any true vacation homes left."

I just want to take a moment to appreciate the environment here at Teradata. Management here expects a decent amount of work but isn't going to break your back and that is something that is truly special <3. Just want to share something to remind you all that we've got a great culture & WLB here- all while contributing to a mission that is still important.

Ask me anything if you have questions, I'll monitor this thread for a bit (:

Hi HR, sorry, I mean anonymous OP - do we get stock options for participating in your AMA? Asking because I suddenly have a ton of questions, including whether Legal approved your post.

Super-engineer is posting again. Poor little guy. Probably doesn’t even work for TD.

Id be happier with work balance. In the sense of letting me do my job and not having to do 3 others as well.

In conversation with non-employees, no one has ever heard of Teradata. Teradata is beyond dying it is dead. RIP

The burnout comes from the hiring inequity and leadership. The expectations of employees in different countries is unbalanced. Middle level managers have exhausted the need to manage "up" as the leadership's demands for accountability and metrics have lost focus on deliverables. Burnout is a result of leadership. And those burning out are the very ones working endlessly to try to salvage whatever is left of TD because of immense dedication. Those not burning out simply don't care and are riding the wave.
