The ideological replacement of reason and the quashing of the debate is spilling over from aspects which are annoying but relatively marginal, such as the diversity craze, into core strategic aspects, such as the direction of travel. There is a... — read more 

“As a CMO, you cannot have fear, you have to be fearless. You can’t blink otherwise the team senses that, other functions will sense that, and you’re dead in the water,” the recently appointed chief marketing officer tells CMO. “You have to have... — read more 

I have deals to close by end of year and no new products to help me and no meaningful roadmap! But we use our company all hands to hear about the CSO's boyfriend, how he hired his former employer (very nice), that our new CIO is LGBT, and HR... — read more

DH announcement coming next week that he is retiring

I mean seriously. Did laying off all those workers have any impact on the financial stability of the company in the future? My guess is…NO. Has this actually worked for ANY company? I’d say it only worked for the upper management and above. I feel... — read more 

And save the future RIFfers.

Figured since TD laid off mostly people in Cloud.

At least for this lay-off.

Privilege at Teradata is: Being an overpaid ELT member that gets to fire others for your mistakes. Getting the job of a laid off American Teradata employee simply because you live in a lower cost country. Surviving the great layoff of... — read more 

Whoever is alive after 4th successful year of transformation, please share Visionary CEO Tesla videos, all VL town halls and vodka tonic statements from ex-CRO. WeWork had foundering podcast, we earned ours too.

With TDC dumping the consulting business, why no SEC filing? As a shareholder this is a significant change in how TDC does business.

Can't be the entire org because there were only about 45 PS people on the call, but we've all been given the unique opportunity to accept an offer with a partnering entity (or decline the offer for "voluntary separation"). Considering there are ~80... — read more 

Considering that some of the people who have been laid off were essential for the work of their teams, who is expected to shoulder their work? Are they going to bring in new, fresh out of college replacements we'll have to train? Or is it simply... — read more

Haven’t heard of layoffs in marketing yet, does anyone have insight to their headcount loss?

Subject line says it all! If you haven't already gotten off the sinking ship please say hello to Davy Jones for me!

One of the worse severance packages in the industry. They should be embarrassed in offering such a bad package to highly trained educated engineering.

I'm so f—ing tired of reorganizations that only end in layoffs with no proper strategy for the future. Cutting people provides a short term bump in profits but it also gives the company long term losses that can't even be quantified. Stop treating... — read more
