Most of what's on this board is rumor. Nobody here actually knows what's coming, and refreshing this page all day is just stressing everyone out. SM has steered us through some tough stretches, and I trust the direction we're headed. Do good work, keep your résumé fresh (smart either way), and wait for real news from official channels. Log off and take a breath, because worrying won't change anything.

What kind of idi0t comes to a layoff page and wants positive posts? I guess one d-mb enough to still have to work for Teradata.
@he But that one engineer thinks he knows who is productive and who is not. Very arrogant. And if he’s been in the same job for eight years, he obviously has little value. I’m surprised he hasn’t been cut. But that’s probably coming.
@h2 @hd Revenue doesn't rise or fall on one engineer, and you both know it. That's the whole point of this thread: the company is cutting dead weight and keeping the people who actually deliver. If an eighth grader could do the job, they'd have replaced the team already instead of fighting to keep its strong performers. Two people racing to post insults on an anonymous board tells me exactly which side of that line you're on. Perform or get out of the way.
@d8 Wow, you’ve been Super-engineer for eight years and Teradud revenue has been going down about every quarter for years. Sounds like you aren’t productive at all. You should leave for the good of the company.
@d8 Nobody is impressed that you are a cloud engineer for eight years. Any eighth grader can do what you do. And if you’ve been such a great performer for eight years, where is the revenue? No, you’re just a mediocre functionary who apparently isn’t skilled enough to work at a successful company. Poor thing.
Wow, fourteen downvotes. I'm devastated. Still waiting on one actual fact from any of you, but I'll keep holding my breath. For the record, I've been a cloud engineer on Vantage for 8 years and I'm doing just fine, because I perform. This round was about performance, and the company is fighting to keep the people who show up and do the work. Want to put food on the table for your kids? Wild idea: perform. Works every time. But hey, keep raging at strangers on an anonymous board, I'm sure that'll look great on a résumé. See you all November 5th.
@ca The pathetic doofus stuck to the leprechaun’s rear has spoken. Everyone performs worse than he does. We will know November 5th if he has provided any value. You know, since he’s so much better than everyone else.
@ca You posted anonymously, dip$hit. So you must be arrogant and mo--nic. I never figured out how a$$kissers could live with themselves, but I guess it’s easy for you if you have none.
@ca You know nothing. Brainwashed bootlickers like yourself don't have the capacity to make informed decisions. Crawl back under your rock.
@bh Real rich calling me arrogant while you hide behind "Anonymous" and throw insults. From what I know, the people let go this round had really poor reviews last cycle, and the company is fighting to keep everyone else. So if you're actually doing your job, quit panicking and quit dragging everyone down with you. We'll all see the revenue numbers next month. Until then, give it a rest.
Official Channels = walk into office at 8:00, terminated at 8:05. Yeah, that's not stressful at all.
