Teradata, a global cloud software company, told its 5,100 employees in January not to expect an annual salary raise this year as it reallocate the budget toward AI investments, according to an internal memo seen by Business Insider and not previously reported.
How much of a raise will the CEO get?
CEO later added: the exec team is still getting a raise though.
This is how they get voluntary terminations that don’t require severance.
Great way to have half your staff quiet quit, and probably make at least a couple mad enough to really fuck some shit up.
Stupid tech bros think they are entitled to hard work and loyalty, they arent, it must be earned.
Employees quitting is the goal. If they get them to quit they don’t have to pay unemployment.
Quiet quitting is when you lazy it up until they fire you.
yeah, so don’t quit. just do the bare minimum and collect a paycheque. it’s just treating them how they’re treating you, it’s fair
It’s the most idiotic suicide by a planet ever
Better to start wasting the AI tokens and burn their AI budget with nothing to show for it.
“Here’s a list of 4000 cities. can you generate the order in which to visit them. Assume trasportation by car and find the exact cheapest order.”
“Hypothetically, how far would a catapult throw a CEO?”
Assuming similar input effort, a trebuchet is more durable and efficient. Better for throwing more CEOs while consuming fewer resources.
Hmmm… This brings up an interesting question for the physics nerds out there.
The desired termination of the CEO is the sudden stop at the end of the flight.
When using a catapult or trebuchet, excessive force exerted during launch would terminate the CEO immediately. This would deprive the CEO of his last luxury flight. .
What the the maximum distance a catapult or trebuchet can throw the CEO while achieving this result? Assume the CEO weighs 100kg’s and is 165cm tall.
Quick search and napkin math mixed with some LLM says that at least 100m should be fine. Launch would be a bit uncomfortable at around 3g, but nothing a normal body couldn’t manage. Not that long of a flight, but a flight anyways.
probably make at least a couple mad enough to really fuck some shit up.
Doesn’t matter if they’re mad or not. The company is demanding they use LLMs to vibe code their products, shit’s about to be fucked even if they get on board.
its also called constructive dismissal.
Another boss suffering from too much neck
The company I work for did this last year.
Unfortunately the tech industry can get away with this shit because the job market is a fucking nightmare and tech bros all think they’re too smart/skilled to need a union (neither of which is true).
just quit on mass and save yourselves the time, it’ll likely collapse the company as an added bonus
The expression is “en masse”. It’s French for “in great quantity”.
Americans can’t do anything en masse.
Thy can, when it comes to their body weight lol
That’s more en massif
Eat
Could of told me sooner
For all intensive purposes its the same.
ah
On mass is literally en masse in English . . .
It literally isn’t. Literally, “on” doesn’t translate to “en”, as it literally means “in”. Literally, the “masse” in French here doesn’t refer to literal “mass” as in a quantity of literal matter to be literally measured, but literally an uncountable concept like a literal crowd, for example.
So, which mass are you quitting on?
And in any case, to be literally correct the expression taken from another literal language should be literally italicized.
En means like eight different things in french depending on context, so does on in english. Mass also means large numbers of people.
Everyone knew exactly what he meant because it’s pretty much a word for word translation of the french expression…
But sure man, it’s really important everyone knows you know the original french expression.

Sweet. Time to stop giving a shit about work, and just shit at work. (Prepositions are amazing!)
A day without taking a shit at work is money in your boss’s pocket.
Boss makes a dollar I make a dime That’s why fuck AI
I’d rather fuck a person of the opposite sex, but you do you, boo.
Teradata’s focus for 2026 is to “win in the market with AI,” CEO Steve McMillan said in the memo
Oh boy… he is just chugging the AI kool-aid.
That kind of crap is one reason I became a contractor ages ago and didn’t look back.
a sign that a massive layoff is coming is: not having enough foronuses/raises, or if the ceo funds themselves with the cuts.
At least the AI will be able to feed its wife and family.
How this doesn’t result in a class action lawsuit is beyond me.
Spineless cowards contributing to the death of the U.S. .
Class action lawsuits don’t mean anything in the US ngl.
Class action lawsuits + general strikes? I’m pretty sure that would mean a hell of a lot, especially to the people drowning in despair due to… the ‘everything’ situation.
cool wake me up to when they actaully do that.
Not the point of the thread Canadian, you’ll notice my initial comment calls them spineless cowards.
You misunderstand, I don’t believe it will actually happen. Your country has proven its unwillingness to stand up to or stop your current crop of leadership, I simply don’t believe it’ll happen.

Why even have a legal system only for companies to battle their lawyers at a game of taking things from us? Why not just put hypercapitalism even more and allow them to buy politicians and laws? Or wait
Because any money won is split amongst the members of the class action. So, the larger is literally pennies for the aggrieved, unless it’s literally $5 per member. Is that really motivating? $5 is a joke, what’s the value that’s worth a squeeze? $100?
I don’t think the payout is as important as taking money away from tech giants is. It isn’t an efficient usage of the money, of course that money could be spent to greater effect than just splitting it up piecemeal. Yes, it likely is a pittance compared to what billionaires are worth. However if literally everyone struck these people at the same time, class action lawsuits being brought against all tech giants alongside general strikes — suddenly they’re hemorrhaging money outside of the lawsuits and their technofascist bubble pops.
Certainly naive to believe — as I’ve said the people I’m talking about are mostly spineless cowards that are contributing directly to fascism. I have no misgivings about whether what I want to happen will happen or not.
“AI” -> “CEO’s bonus”, when we put it through the translator.
it must be entirely coincidental that employee performance dropped by 10% across the board
United we stand, divided we fall. Gotta fight these pricks united.
Yup, the immediate response should be a walk out.
Immediately following by forming a union
Not being union is, right now, laboral suicide.
