Thread regarding Teradata Corp. layoffs

In case it isn't obvious

I repeatedly see a lot of disinformation and fake news on this site, skilfully disguised as employee input.

Perhaps it's got something to do with what Frank Slootman, Snowflake CEO, writes in his book Amp It Up?

“In sales meetings I would sometimes pose a clarifying question: "What is our definition of victory? Sun Tzu, in The Art of War, had a simple answer: 'Breaking the enemy's will to fight.' That translates in business terms to persuading some of your competition's best talent to join your company instead. The more high-achieving people who desert their current employers to join us, the more we are winning. It's a double whammy: not only is our enemy losing some of its best talent, but we've taken their strength.”

I have to admit, the propaganda campaign is very well executed and it's sometimes hard not to fall for it. Don't believe everything you read though, and I would advise anyone to question the motives behind some of these posts.

You(Teradata)were posting celebratory posts on LinkedIn about some sh---y conference the day people were getting laid off. And you think Snowflake propaganda is the problem?

Say what you want. Think what you want. The results tell the unvarnished story. So, HR and Diversity Hire trolls, we’re not falling for your pie in the sky posts. We live here so we know.

Hey HR troll, why don’t you ask marketing trolls to do the same propaganda on layoff.com/snowflake or other sites? It sounds like folks are gullible to fall for this and be poached upon.
