Teradata’s Autonomous Knowledge Platform is impressive! Is this the comeback shareholders have been waiting for?? #teradata #winning #tdcshareprice

Good riddance to that garbage KPI. Everybody was fudging their numbers anyways.

My entire snapshot was empty except for a yes that I’m on track to meet or exceed expectations, my teammates had theirs all filled out. Do you think I’m on the list?

Fidelity pushed the non-tech to tech roles during the pandemic. Then finally someone realized it’s better to pay more for people who know what they’re doing.

Next cut will be managers who aren’t qualified and have been in their roles too long. Weak managers cost the firm too much, it’s not just one expense, but there’s a serious ripple effect.

Culture comes from the top down and when the top are filled with people that only have one brain cell, the rest of the company takes a hit.

More product line sales this year?

In the last 5 years, MDT stock is down 44% while the SP500 is up 67%. How much longer for CEO and Chairman Martha? Obviously his DEI strategy hasn’t paid off and neither has anything else. How much longer board?

I've been through a few layoff rounds now and I've started tracking who goes. The pattern makes no sense. Hard workers, people with great reviews, people who consistently deliver get cut. People who coast, who hide in meetings, who produce almost nothing stay. People usually explain it as being about salary. High performers have been here longer and make more, which make them targets, and the cheaper people survive. Which makes sense only if you disregard the fact that this sends a message not to be too good at your job. Just be average and cheap and you'll be safe. How is that kind of workforce good for the company?

In my experience unless you have someone higher-up actively advocating for you, this is often Cisco's legal way of pushing you out - the goals are usually vague enough that they can later say, u just didn’t meet expectations. Thanks for playing and now fu-k off.

If you genuinely believe it’s nonsense, start saving copies of anything that supports your performance such are emails, annual reviews, awards, praise from mgrs, anything showing you were doing well. once you’re let go, you will lose access to all of it, and things will become hard to find if you decde to challenge it legally. Also, if u end up using unemployment check whether your state offers a training or careerchange program near the end of your benefits. U usually only get to use it once so choose carefully. I used it as a stepping stone into a new career. Larned a lot at Cisco but it was an ugly divorce for me.

It is an open secret that many employees across major hubs—including Hopkins—are navigating the RTO mandate by doing the bare minimum, coming in person for few hours/two days a week, leaving laptops on Monday locked with Kensington T-Bar laptop Lock ($15) at or under a desks overnight to simulate presence, and take them off on Thursday or Friday. They all got 100% RTO compliance for last 4-5 months given RTO enforcement uses IP address tracking which is also our OFFICIAL "Talent" and "Performance" Metric for year 2026 (no other company or bank has this metric).

It’s an open secret that most employees hit 60-100% compliance while they were actually working from home, just by using U.S.bank Teams (attend meetings from home) and Outlook (compose reply emails) all from mobile phones at home or elsewhere (Hawaii vacation). I myself tried last month at Knoxville and yes it worked, but made sure to just get 60% RTO compliance so I do not get caught, but surprised to see many doing it without any fear.

Question: Why did Gunjan approved this ineffective 60% RTO compliance by our D-MB SEVP-HR with IP tracking as performance metric? What were she thinking? Is Gunja equally D-MB - like the CXO suite mocks her?

So we’re actually getting the quarterly bonus. Underperformed on Data Losses, but outperformed on Mobile Adds, so it basically evened out.

Was anyone given this offer as an alternative to the layoff? If not, why? It seems like that would indicate a performance or other reason than just someone being remote.

Is the Performance Harassment Cycle affectionately known as PIP administered fairly and equitably at XOM?
Is PIP used as a method to legally remove dead wood 🪵 or is employed to stifle, marginalize and sabotage employees that are competent and valuable to the organization?
When (time frame) will PIP manifest itself as declining oil production as has been evidenced recently in onshore assets?

Capital Management is performing poorly YTD. Lagging peers. Near bottom Percentile ranks. Awful. Plain Awful. Morningstar downgraded the People & Process pillar. Not a good look. But, did staff in Capital Managment still get big promotions & quarterly bonuses w/this poor results ? Time to offload this entire division to save $ b/c they aint making any. Farm this stuff out to save $10M per.

Danone North America will close its Bridgeton plant. This closure eliminates 114 jobs at the facility. The plant produces Silk and So Delicious dairy-free drinks. Production will transfer to three other plants. Danone cited unsatisfactory performance in its plant-based business.

Get ready for another scalping. HRBPs and L&T are going down by 50% in November.

Jobs report came out today and over 100K new jobs were created in April.

EM trading must su-k to lose this much money when all others are creaming. TGs leadership of Trading is equally bad to her leadership of HR where she systematically f’d the company for the long term. BP, Shell and the trading houses are all claiming industry high earnings and we lost a boat load of cash. Amazing. TG and DWW should be NSId out of the business and not golden parachuted

Can anyone explain why employees are still being required to complete their PDS even though they’re already being laid off in 2026? HR is saying it’s mandatory if an employee doesn’t yet have an official termination date. Honestly, what’s the point of going through this process when performance results won’t matter anymore—unless IOL just wants to rank these employees at the bottom to boost the ratings of those who are staying.

Any updates on this topic? Also, are there any hints about potential buyers?! saw the earnings - ADM performed quite well.

Early Jan stock was over $96. Down almost $20. One trick pony Charlie’s strategy of doing nothing but cutting run its course and now catching up to us

Hmm….🤔

Ugh

He had just under 3 years, turnover went down from $14billion to $12billion. Share price down from $24 to $9 staggering -65% decline.

AI dream not producing any revenue, employees underpaid, Execs doubled their pay, layers of useless people given fake roles like Cumhire, Danny, and others. Its become a joke.

Wall Street is fed up of next quarter, next quarter excuses, never generating revenue. Bye bye Rahul you did very well out of it.

Recently a number of colleagues received performance letters that clearly state they need to be 100% for Q2 or they could be subject to termination based on their performance.

Do you think this is a way for MO to downsize the company without having to pay a severance? I don’t buy for one second that he wants to add more sales representatives. We have downsized starting all the way at the top (I.e ZVP’s/Sr. Dir) but the layoffs never really hit sales.

As a rep, it will be open territory season soon. Get your popcorn ready! I feel bad for my manager. I doubt they will backfill the positions. Managers/directors will get stuck with the quota with little to no production coming out of the territory. I am sure they will be pi---d considering they are paid based on percentage of plan.

I believe Verizon needs to continue building a stronger market-driven culture focused on performance, accountability, and long-term competitiveness. That means making difficult decisions when necessary, including reducing redundant positions and streamlining teams to stay agile in a rapidly changing industry. A stronger return-to-office policy is also important because in-person collaboration improves communication, training, innovation, and team culture in ways remote work simply can’t fully replace. If Verizon wants to compete and grow, the company has to prioritize efficiency, execution, and a workplace culture centered on results.

This is the periodic reminder that while L and D field advisors are performing well the same can’t be said for their leaders and so called directors who don’t do much of anything.
This bad performance starts with Tractor Man and goes all the way down.

It’s no surprise that in his first team wide comments since his disastrous all-teams, that he fell flat on his face again. From the cringy and unnecessary SNKRS comment to rolling out the same exact leadership structure that has accomplished zero over the last 18 months.

Tech deserves better than this clown. The guy is so out of touch. Meanwhile his whole org is ready for him to start talking about all the start-ups he’s worked at and actually accomplish something at scale.

KY TN CA BON reports filed. We have to make sure these lousy incompetent employees are held accountable for their actions.

What if they gave everyone full bonus this year as a thank you for everything and for putting up with all our sh-t. One can only dream, at this rate will we even get a psp pay out?

“I’m a true believer after what’s transpired in the last couple months that our commercial organization has absolutely ki-led it.” -GoGo

this is the way

After moving the poorly performing and poorly built XDR, the new GM (John Morgan) is finally doing the smart thing and setting it up to be shut down.

There is going to be over 100 layoffs across the group on May 14th, with huge cuts coming to a 30-person data science team in Prague that has produced nearly no value in 10 years, and finally letting go the XDR engineer directors who built this Rube Goldberg machine no one actually likes or uses.

What do people think the future looks like for PSKY? Honestly, I thought it was on the rise after the acquisition when it went up to close to $20, but it's obviously dropped back to pre-acquisition levels. Do we think it'll go back up if the WBD acquisition goes through?

TBH I'm asking because I have LTIP shares I'm trying to unload. My fault for not doing it in September/October.

Been at WF for almost 1.5 years and want to switch groups. Problem is, my first year end PR was an IM. Although if any hiring manager read it, they would see the review commentary doesn’t match the rating.

Anyways, how does this affect internal transfers? Do I need to have a “meets” on my most recent review to be considered?

I was told by my manager that SAP is launching a global AI adoption program and will track the usage of LLMs and other AI features on SAP products. They plan to coincide the launch with Sapphire so there will also be a big buzz about it. I bluntly asked if this is going to be used to determine one's performance and my manager said yes. Apparently, we are all supposed to use AI as much as possible in our day to day work and improve efficiency and productivity by doing more work in less time. Our area is deciding to add an area level performance goal that everyone contributes to but we are also asked to include AI in our other goals.

I really don't get it. Yes, I find AI somewhat useful in my work especially if I am researching something. But NO it is not gamechanging to my work. I feel so disappointed by this move that I plan to only use AI but not get work done because no one cares about work anymore and all they care about AI adoption. I feel like we are training our replacements. If AI is useful, why does management need to force everyone to use it?

Half of our management can't even use AI because they are too old school and because they only use German in emails and chats and conversations and AI is somewhat useless in German. Is this also happening in other areas now?

Heard rumors that professional services team would be impacted. Also, people not meeting expectations (NME) after performance review meeting. Any insights?

Is there any truth to the rumor that people who received inconsistent performance rating last year due to not following in-office adherence will be laid off? I am on a very small team and I believe I am the only one on my team who got an IP so I’m freaking out. My role is a grade level 3 phone role.

They’ve now published 2 customer PRs this week, must be desperate to have something positive to talk about on the call. If they think Gyro hut is going to move the needle with investors, things must be even worse than they appear.

If Humana truly has in mimd a goal to have the corporation to be successful, then I strongly suggest they do an across the board evaluation of all persons within the roles of Director, Associate Director, Manager, and perhaps even Vice Presidents of segments.

My suggestion is to fire all those that were hired many years ago in the past (and also recently) who are Cronies, Nepo Babies, and DEI hires.

Then, replace them with persons with the actual education degree for that field, that have the experience and training and past track record, and are fully capable of producing actual effective results that assist the company in reaching its strategic goals.
