DH announcement coming next week that he is retiring

I mean seriously. Did laying off all those workers have any impact on the financial stability of the company in the future? My guess is…NO. Has this actually worked for ANY company? I’d say it only worked for the upper management and above. I feel... — read more

Figured since TD laid off mostly people in Cloud.

Privilege at Teradata is: Being an overpaid ELT member that gets to fire others for your mistakes. Getting the job of a laid off American Teradata employee simply because you live in a lower cost country. Surviving the great layoff of... — read more

With TDC dumping the consulting business, why no SEC filing? As a shareholder this is a significant change in how TDC does business.

Can't be the entire org because there were only about 45 PS people on the call, but we've all been given the unique opportunity to accept an offer with a partnering entity (or decline the offer for "voluntary separation"). Considering there are ~80... — read more 

Considering that some of the people who have been laid off were essential for the work of their teams, who is expected to shoulder their work? Are they going to bring in new, fresh out of college replacements we'll have to train? Or is it simply... — read more

I know everyone here at TD are better off working somewhere else than here. At least we won’t have this f—ing anxiety of layoffs every now and then.

The company has been bending over backwards to prove to everybody that it is not racist and that everyone is welcome. Unfortunately, they have not been bending over backwards to be great. Focus on being great and the diversity will happen... — read more 

Haven’t heard of layoffs in marketing yet, does anyone have insight to their headcount loss?

Subject line says it all! If you haven't already gotten off the sinking ship please say hello to Davy Jones for me!

Are we sure this is done?

One of the worse severance packages in the industry. They should be embarrassed in offering such a bad package to highly trained educated engineering.

I'm so f—ing tired of reorganizations that only end in layoffs with no proper strategy for the future. Cutting people provides a short term bump in profits but it also gives the company long term losses that can't even be quantified. Stop treating... — read more 

As somebody asked in another post, have people who are affect already received their notifications? Or will this drag out throughout the day? When will we know if we're safe or not?

There is still no confirmed information. Could it be possible that there is no layoff at all?
