Although clowns probably would do a better job than ELT

I joined the RIF also, out of the blue. Hearing that they need to reduce 2k staff globally from 7k total. If that is correct, then you aren't getting due settlement in my opinion.

Only at TerribleData that this can happen. Constant failure by management and workers get the shaft. They will complete the week, congratulating themselves for a job well done is dispensing so many.

If you can read, thank a teacher. If you enjoy your freedom, thank a vet. If you've been laid off from Terribledata, thank your lucky stars. You've been asking for divine guidance and now you know how much Terribledata value you. It's su-k what... — read more

"manage to the desired results" is a favorite directive of engineering ELT/VPs/directors. What this means is do what it takes to get the result that they want to benefit them, not necessarily to the company's benefit, or what's right, moral, or... — read more

Are there any layoffs in sales and marketing this October/November?

Photos posted on LinkedIn show low-level non-Teradata people and the “CTO” guru complete with Hawaiian shirt. And why would anyone listen to him? What a waste. But it did give Marketing plebes a free trip to Europe.

Interested ... how did it go? If you go to the website there was an army of speakers, the vast majority of whom were from Teradata. (Including SB, which was interesting.) Did anyone show up?
