Another reorg is coming to the TD back-office in Q1. Good luck everybody

Rumors are afloat that there is not going to be any cash bonus and minimal raises. They will give paltry stocks which will be meaningless as the stock loses value and vests over time. Jump ship now!!!

Seriously, why even bother and try to do better when being mediocre is not just accepted but encouraged?

I feel a bit guilty, but Teradata management has brought all this on themselves. My advice to the actual workers (managers and below) is to get out soon.

Assuming Q1 ... Any genuine date targets known?

Not sure anyone would want to be re-hired, but I've heard that RIF'd employees are not eligible for re-hire due to some lawsuit or legal action. Does anyone have any information about that?

How many more posts are there on this thread than any other company ? Does Teradata win yet another benchmark ? How many times have management tried to intervene and had their posts deleted ? M.e. keeps on knocking but he never gets in...probably... —  read more 

This post will either generate some hate or a debate. I have been with TD for a while. Not dinosaur while but a while. The last few years I have had decent productivity: brought in 2x-3x of my cost to the company ( measured by billable hours and... —  read more

It wouldn't surprise me if the answer was yes, to be honest. Our leadership has long shown they lack any kind of a moral compass. Laying off a bunch of people just ahead of Christmas wouldn't even be a blip on the radar for them. Hopefully I'm wrong... —  read more
