Thread regarding Teradata Corp. layoffs

Quarterly Reviews

How are your reviews going? Have you been told that you need to increase your productivity? With less people. With no one to make decisions. With product owners not working with the team to guide decisions, not attending meetings, or responding to questions. With a loose roadmap that changes as often as the leadership changes.

And the recommendation by management is to work more hours including nights and weekends. Assume that AI will be the solution to all your problems. Do more in less time with less resources. That is not a request. That is a command. And no, you will not be incentivized to do more.

Don't forget, we expect this from you with no real support from us. We (mgt) are too busy trying to save ourselves with the new executives on the merry-go-round. Our theory is if we can last a year, we are likely to outlive their terms here at Teradata given their work histories.

So hang on. Work like you are fighting for your life, because you are. Do not sleep. Do not have a family. Just do what we tell you, until we change our minds. And if you do all that, you may - or may not- still have a job tomorrow.

Mine was hilarious. They said try to smile and be happy more often and don't talk about the layoffs happening everywhere as that affects staff morale. I really should have asked to put a smile as a KPI

Quarterly reviews are a waste of time.

@an They should not have gotten rid of the good products people. Big mistake.

@an Not the mention the fact we cant actually sell anything because one of the teams is so overwhelmed they are months behind. And rather than get addtional resources, or literally anything, we just all have a good laugh at how far behind the team is and how we cant actually sell the product. Real good resource management going on from leadership.

So much wasted effort. Product has no clue what customers want to buy from us and SA pulls timelines straight out of his a-s.
