Do we have a peoples representative in India. We thought HR would help, but he is so isolated that we don't if he atleast the right person.
We see zero motivation from him, no office improvements, facilities are literally freezed. Cherry on top is we don't even have proper stationery available
Some new joiners have no ethics, I agree that there are some people who are just talking negative always.
@141 You should have told to HR in exit interview
It is not just managers some team members are so toxic, I left teradata sometime back, not just because of managers, I got good offer so I left.
But my team which was fresh Database team (compared to old timers) was so toxic, they are too much negative, they don't know how to talk, just crying for everything, crying for money, crying for facilities, blaming others unnecessary, no professional words even though seniors members are around, they call themselves proud Gujju squad( I personally feel they are insulting their state). If they have some maturity they should learn how to behave.
Manager was very professional, but the team was completely toxic.
It was also one of the reason for my decission
Gee, you think employees of the best AI company in the universe would use AI to write their posts.
@a4 I agree completely. My three year old can structure better sentences. ESL is not an excuse……
Everyone guilty in this scam of graft and grift should be held accountable.
Have you done your part as a witness to it by reporting those mentioned in your post?
If not, what's stopping you?
Complaining on this board only goes so far.
You need to file formal complaints with federal agencies.
It's the right thing to do.
Report it.

Project Firewall
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/immigration/h1b/projectfirewall
"What is Project Firewall?
Project Firewall is the Wage and Hour Division’s (WHD) enforcement initiative focused on safeguarding the rights, wages, and job opportunities of highly skilled U.S. workers and maximizing compliance with the H-1B visa program. Launched on September 19, 2025, it strengthens our efforts to hold employers accountable when they misuse the H-1B visa program and ensures qualified American workers are not unfairly displaced.
Through Project Firewall, WHD enforces H-1B visa program requirements, prioritizing investigations where there are signs of displacements, inadequate recruitment of U.S. workers, or other abuses. This initiative helps ensure employers consider qualified U.S. workers first and follow the law when seeking to hire highly skilled foreign workers.
How Does Project Firewall Work?
Strengthened Enforcement: WHD prioritizes investigations where employers may be:
Displacing U.S. workers.
Failing to recruit U.S. workers in good faith.
Giving preference to H-1B workers when qualified U.S. workers are available.
Retaliating against workers who raise concerns about employers’ noncompliance.
Misrepresenting job duties, requirements, or working conditions.
Protecting U.S. Workers: WHD enforces legal protections designed to ensure U.S. workers are not adversely affected by H-1B program misuse. When violations are found, WHD may recover back wages, assess civil money penalties, and/or impose debarment from the H-1B program and other visa programs.
Holding Employers Accountable: Project Firewall supports targeted, data-driven enforcement efforts and increases employer compliance through outreach, education and collaboration with other federal agencies.
Violations and Getting Help
What Happens When Violations Are Found?
When employers violate H-1B visa program requirements, WHD may:
Recover back wages owed to workers.
Seek reimbursement of required fringe benefits.
Assess civil money penalties, depending on the type or severity of the violation.
Impose debarment, limiting an employer’s access to the H-1B visa program and certain other visa programs for at least one year.
How to Report a Violation
Report H-1B violations by submitting Form WH-4 to your nearest WHD office.
Report civil rights violations as a U.S. worker to the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.
Report discrimination against American workers to the EEOC."

@a4
How can you possibly justify blaming the person and not the company that hired them?
You are pretending that their needs are not important because of the language they speak. Do you have no interest in holding their hiring manager accountable? Holding their director accountable? Holding the CEO accountable? This is ultimately the CEO's responsibility and there are rampant issues, where is the accountability to shareholders(and the employee stock purchase program)?
The company is not providing basic materials, which is a completely valid complaint.
Teradata is not a genuine an serious company, and the choices they make reflect that. I only wish the shareholders had a view into what goes on so they could hold someone accountable.

@a4 We get what we pay for.
Is everyone in this company functionally illiterate?
Judging from every single post in this thread composed before this one of mine, the answer is: YES!
Of course, it could be that all 3 of you are ESL, but still...get a freakin' GRIP, and learn the basics in how to communicate professionally via English grammar.
Why do we have to run pillars to pillars for getting anything related to office peripherals.
We have zero facilities, don't know who can help on what.
Where do we ask for snacks and facilities.
They ask us to come to office no proper environment.
Does leaders look at feedback and take action, or is that a check box for their job
Stationery is last we have to battle to get right accessories from Venkata, he is fo so rude
