I really hope that the most qualified people are promoted. Who wants a promotion because you’re a minority group member? No one with any pride in their accomplishments.
There's a good interview with Marc Andreessen on Jordan Peterson's YouTube podcast from a few weeks ago where he explains how and why DEI ideology took the tech industry by storm. TD certainly wasn't the only company infiltrated by the DEI zealots. But the fact TD had a disproportionately large share of old white dudes meant "fixing" TD was a priority for the social justice warriors. Of all the mistakes TD leadership made, allowing DEI te------ts in the front door was probably the worst.
That’s an excellent idea. Report DEI abuses to the Fed.
DEI isn't going anywhere until KCC and the rest of the zealots leave the company. In the meantime, they will simply rebrand or hide what they are doing. Whistleblowers reporting violations to the applicable federal authorities is the only way this nightmare ends.
There will always be enough DEI hires to blame until we retire.
with DEI gone, what will the middle-aged, white, chronic underachievers blame for their inability to move on from a company that has been dying for almost a decade now
More H1B hires?
A lot of the problem is that Teradata's recent arrogance has offended customers. Even today they say no one can successfully migrate a large system from Teradata, even while watching their largest customers do it quite easily. Given the choice, many customers will chose not to deal with Teradata again
TD’s core challenge isn’t DEI—it’s the product stupid ! It’s outdated, unattractive, and beyond refurbishment!
In Tech, if you take care of the product, everything else takes care of itself.
Too little too late
Many companies are ditching the DEI disaster that ruined their departments. Hopefully, Teradata will have the sense to do the same.
