I was expected once again to take on tasks I've never been trained for, on top of everything else I already have to do. I said no. I told them if that's a problem, they can fire me because I'm done caring. My manager wasn't thrilled, but I'm still... — read more

POSITIVITY CORNER 🌞
This board could use a little balance, so here goes. Yes, restructuring is hard — and if you were impacted, you're talented and any company would be lucky to have you. But for the rest of us: take a breath and zoom out. We work at a company that's... — read more

TIL - The CPO and his VPs doesn't understand Teradata as a product
