Since being "cost optimized" on Halloween, I have found solice in this board knowing that we share a common story.
That is one where we were discarded, no longer needed. Not part of the family anymore. The method in which it happened was cruel. Not even a chance to say goodbye to colleagues that I was privileged to be part of their lives even outside of Teradata.
Now that is but a distant memory of good times. The reality now is different. With the money now all but gone, the hope of finding a role is as remote as ever. Hope is extinguished with every "thanks but other candidates are preferred".
So I just wanted to say thank you all on this board for bringing light into my otherwise dark world that I now find myself in. The days are not long now before my sun sets for one final time.
