Thread regarding Teradata Corp. layoffs

If you've been laid off ...

If you can read, thank a teacher.
If you enjoy your freedom, thank a vet.
If you've been laid off from Terribledata, thank your lucky stars.

You've been asking for divine guidance and now you know how much Terribledata value you. It's su-k what they did but can also count you blessings that you are no longer in a toxic environment. All one would learn there is political posturing and backstabing, not to count how to deceive and string your work team along so managers can enrich themselves.

You will be happier and have less stress not putting on an act to please them doing useless work on something that will never be used by a customer, let alone be a successful product.

The best remedy is to take a breather and go after the next gig and if it's with a competitor, the better.

No worries, the rest of your peers will get their layoff notice the next time. No avoiding it because this place is done.

Good luck all.

Is anyone able to negotiate in USA?

Those who can negotiate may be outside the US.

Usually in the US a severance is “take it or leave it” as getting lawyers involved is more expensive then what you could gain from the negotiation… unless you have dozens of people who can band together to make a claim of age discrimination, etc. to split the legal expenses.

And don't accept what they offer you in redundancy. Always negotiate and negotiate hard. Mine was a fun experience as you're dealing with a HR guy in India who lacks English speaking skills let alone negotiation skills. It was fun to try to watch him try to think on his feet, stutter and respond to my questions. This is your one last opportunity to stick it to them and don't take it lying down. Have fun doing it and hold your head high
