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.
They can’t change the incentives without re-inventing how companies work. They’re just structured in a way that gives bad incentives like that. And nobody wants to take a risk on their dime, or break the thing that makes them money, and by now it’s all basically set in stone. Until the whole system breaks and new things get organized in a new system probably.
There are lots of companies that offer stock as well as monetary compensation, and things like profit sharing.
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.
Hahahha I’d show up to work and do jack squat all day.
A percent? Those are rookie numbers
“The AI will handle it, that’s why they make the Big Bucks.”
Less than minimum, make them spend money on firing you.
I think that is a big trend now! People don’t get incentivized and are being openly treated the same as their underperforming coworkers and peers, so they basically quit the job without telling anyone, and do just enough work to fool their employer into not realizing they’re gone, continuing to collect paychecks.
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.
CEO later added: the exec team is still getting a raise though.
This is how they get voluntary terminations that don’t require severance.
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

a sign that a massive layoff is coming is: not having enough foronuses/raises, or if the ceo funds themselves with the cuts.
Sweet. Time to stop giving a shit about work, and just shit at work. (Prepositions are amazing!)
That kind of crap is one reason I became a contractor ages ago and didn’t look back.
OE is king.
OE?
Overemployed
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.
At least the AI will be able to feed its wife and family.
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
Yep that’s basically what they said at my job too.
Lol you get a 50k bonus, 50k anthropic credits that is lmao
United we stand, divided we fall. Gotta fight these pricks united.
Yup, the immediate response should be a walk out.
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.
