This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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".
Time to slack off and deliver the minimum possible then
That's exactly what people should be doing anytime their company boasts about record profits/revenue yet halts pay raises or even has it lower than the rate of inflation.
In my old job I just allocated a percent of my day towards job applications until I finally got out. Morons thought I wouldn't be upset with a 15% pay cut over 3 years of working my ass off.
“It’s a question of motivation. If I bust my ass and Initec ships a few more units I don’t see another dime. So where’s the motivation?”
It’s insane that companies haven’t gotten this hint in the 27 years since Office Space was released.
Quiet quit, show up a bit late, stretch your breaks by a few minutes, leave early, steal stuff, don't do anything that doesn't directly contribute to your job, volunteer for nothing, refuse to tithe to whatever their stupid charity is, max out every benefit, max out any family leave, file official complaints to HR, break stuff, don't refill anything, do no maintenance on anything, umionize, etc.
Be a paid employee, don't be a good employee. Act your wage.
The CIA published a guide back in the 40s about how to disrupt fascist companies. It's worth a google.
To date, I have not heard a single CEO talk about where the money will come from if no one is employed.
How can consumers consume if they don't have any money?
that's for someone else to worry about.
Seriously if you talk to these people they live their lives financial quarter by quarter. there's no plan for 2+ years down the line, they can't think that far ahead. They're all like this. It's all about the now. make money now, release a product now, no future, no updates, now now now. This is why LLM's appeal so much to them, it can provide that "now" that they crave.
When there's a 20 million dollar golden parachute when fail why would you care about the next quarter...
Because these drug and AI addled idiots refuse to or can't think more than a quarter ahead at a time. As there are no consequences for the executive caste, why should they?
That's what the rich dickhead bunkers in remote locations are for, my friend.
Sweet. Time to stop giving a shit about work, and just shit at work. (Prepositions are amazing!)
This CEO prolly thinks he's generous cos he ain't firing them (yet) lol. So the peasant employees should be grateful for having still a job in the first place lol
They did four round of layoffs last year
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.
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."
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.
Saved you a click
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.
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).
How this doesn't result in a class action lawsuit is beyond me.
Spineless cowards contributing to the death of the U.S. .
it must be entirely coincidental that employee performance dropped by 10% across the board
Lol you get a 50k bonus, 50k anthropic credits that is lmao
a sign that a massive layoff is coming is: not having enough foronuses/raises, or if the ceo funds themselves with the cuts.
None of you are getting bonuses this year because we're heavily investing into replacing all of you
#2020s_suck
"AI" -> "CEO's bonus", when we put it through the translator.
That kind of crap is one reason I became a contractor ages ago and didn't look back.
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.
United we stand, divided we fall. Gotta fight these pricks united.
At least the AI will be able to feed its wife and family.
I wish everyone treated this way the best of luck finding better employment as soon as possible, as everyone deserves better than this dehumanizing treatment.
I hope you can look down from your nice new offices very soon and smirk as you watch their AI investments flounder and fail in spectacular fashion, having known all along it would happen, just not exactly when.
