Thread regarding Teradata Corp. layoffs

The ELT know they have a company of scared employees who are afraid to question them because of the consequences. That's why you see them getting more brazen in their actions which in normal environments would never fly.

These people are no different to criminals. They are bottom feeders who prey on fear of the unknown. They have failed to bring Teradata into an AI market that is booming. They have taken a once great product that was market leading and destroyed it. They have snubbed their noses at the heritage and rich history of employees and put in place their own people in roles that only enrich them.

If you want sanity but can't stick your neck out, get the heck out asap.
Why bother any longer with this place. The damage done is beyond repair.
Best to do a calculated move out of here quickly when it impacts ELT the most.

That's exactly the mindset BoD and ELT are counting on, "scared and silent". They know that market is tough and in many management meeting even we-ponize it to their advantage by denying promotions, bonuses, and recognition.

Yes, it is true, this management team is very insecure and vindictive and will target anyone that speak up.

BoD and ELT were very afraid of those of many old timers and knowledgeable people because sooner or later, they would question publicly and the management would be exposed. That's why they laid them off to silent them. Now it is no longer their fight. Anyone left here that can afford to help should pick up the mantle? You are still in it and can make a difference by speaking loudly.

While no one owes anyone anything, it is the old timers and those that have nothing to lose or are ready to retire or depart without financial strain, that should speak up against the imbecile management. Many highly skilled, experienced, and knowledgeable real Teradatans have done that and have moved on.

If you want a better place to work at, lower risk of continuous layoffs, and free of terrible people that make up the current management and toxic environment , you need to speak up and fight for it. If you don't you deserve what you have. Nothing is free.

You first. Let’s see you ask these questions live at SKO and the next all employee meetings.

Some of us fully support your mindset, but do not want a target on our backs in this economy and job market.

We have much to lose, and no faith the ELT has the empathy to care (if anyone is bold enough to speak up).

Well stated post from another thread. Rise against the ELT and let your voices be heard.

Make BoD and ELT answer the tough unfortable questions that they are paid millions to handle. Make them think if they want to face the workers each day.

"To those riffed, keep your chins up and take each day as it comes.

To those remaining, use every opportunity to question leaders why some of the best and brightest staff have been let go. Question why the strategy is not working. Question why they continue to reward themselves millions of dollars whilst the company flounders. Question why we are getting beat up by competitors who just a few years ago they were saying are no threat.

Rise up against the ELT, make their life uncomfortable and stop allowing them to enrich themselves at the expense of those who have left the company."

Very true. The grifters would never give up their ill gotten riches. That's why this place is TeraDoom so run run run while you can and save your health and sanity.

Wake up brother ! You’re making them laugh very loud. Never B of D , ELT, SVP and Directors will commit such a horrible su----e. Why should they ? Their pocket is deep, their life funny, their family happy.
They will milk off the dying cow until its very very last moment.
Run, run, run ! Run away from if you can, unless you’re trapped and unemployable elsewhere.

If they had any decency left? Decency and those directors and above are mutually exclusive. They are milking the dying cow.

That is exactly the problem and why TeraDoom.

The B of D, ELT, and minions have no clue, sensibility, moral, ethics or what constitute excellence. So d-mb, they don't know when they're not wanted and should resign on their own. If they have any decency left, they should resign, feel shame and stop taking money for doing nothing and contributing to mediocrity.

And who will take this action? That is the precise problem at TD, wrong people have decision making power. This is asking SM to vote himself out.

Bitter pill to swallow but reasonable actions for current death spiral reality.

Or can continue to pay NC and McK millions for continued pie in the sky failure bound strategy.

The buck has to stop with the current B of D and ELT. There is simply zero experience in the ELT with knowledge of the market that we are in. The rank and file staff have zero trust in the ELT's ability to stop the sinking ship. They know the ELT are just in it to line their pockets.

Endless failures in NC, KCC, JW, HA, DS, SM over the past few years are examples of people who have been promoted far beyond their skill set.
The remaining long termers know that the ELT have no loyalty to the brand.

The board continues to support the ELT and are complicit to this failure
