Alright, so want to really understand what salary curve differences exist between these groups.

How high Geos are vs. Engineers in the Upstream? Looking for CL examples.

What about Upstreamers vs. Downstreamers? How high is Upstream? Again give CL level examples.

Trolls, just listen or add your valuable commentary to the other posts.

Why I have been hearing is a bit concerning. May be everyone already knows this. But they want to move the entire engineering teams to Offshire. Fully functioning teams. There will be an onshore counterpart for every team.

Company laid off a bunch of engineers , and now is forcing techs to do the zero pen jobs that fell to them. The union is so stupid , they didn’t even argue for a differential pay for its members. Company is saving millions making techs do the engineering work now. What does the union do besides sc--w over its members at every turn lol

Step 1: Someone in Sales says, “The customer needs this.”

Step 2: Engineering says, “That's not on the roadmap.”

Step 3: Salea says, “$2 Million dollars is riding on this feature.”

Step 4: Exec Management says, "Drop what you're doing and make it happen."

Step 5: Engineering creates a Jira ticket.

Step 6: Ticket remains untouched for 12 months.

Step 7: Customer escalates.

Step 8: Ticket becomes P0 Critical.

Step 9: Two engineers work on it for 3 days.

Step 10: Product is released.

Step 11: Everyone celebrates the “successful product launch.”

Step 12: Customer finds 14 new bugs and feature is 1/3rd complete.

Step 13: Repeat Steps 9 - 12.

This is getting awful now. More red tape in an AI age
Who is tired of how bad this rollout has gone? Product owners have no clue as well as STS leaders. The engineers suffer

Together with this plus GCC and stuck in PCF nothing can stop the death of the engg culture

The local folks are about to start Engineering projects, managing them and handling the billing when all is said and done. If you thought you were backlogged before, get ready! Just heard about it in Denver.

Every failed system in this organization has at least two architects attached to it.

Somehow, the more architects we add, the more legacy we create, the more bureaucracy we invent, and the slower engineering moves.

At this point, "Architect" feels less like a role and more like a witness to the crime.

Old colleagues who have left have told me they're developing AI agents at their new company that can assess inspection reports and output recommendations that are spot on in minutes. A small team of engineers doing the work that took our BTC months, without all the errors.
Anyone else hearing similar things?

Let’s be clear: this is not a criticism of women broadly and certainly not of the many women of color at Nike who consistently kick a-s, deliver exceptional work, challenge broken systems, and make the company better.

This is about a specific corporate archetype: privileged, entitled "leaders" who we-ponize victimhood whenever their competence or conduct is questioned. They demand accountability from everyone beneath them while treating accountability for themselves as persecution.

They turned personal insecurity into “leadership,” favoritism into “talent strategy,” and organizational politics into a substitute for results. They promoted one another, protected mediocrity, punished candid dissent, and surrounded themselves with people unlikely to challenge them. Competence became threatening. PowerPoint replaced product.

Meanwhile, the people who genuinely understood athletes, footwear, design, engineering, and innovation were sidelined while professional meeting-attenders accumulated titles and congratulated themselves for “transforming” the company.

Now, after helping dismantle a culture built by generations of talented people, they will undoubtedly insist that none of it was their fault.

That may be their most enduring Nike innovation: failing upward while presenting themselves as the victims.

I’ve heard from M4 they plan to layoff a dozen engineers, 2-3 project managers, 1-2 managers, sales and QA. This in addition to reducing other types of resources already announced. IDC, EU and NA

It seems as though we have lost our way to deliver high customer satisfaction. The forward models are uninspired. Quality leaders seem seem to be happy with status quo. There needs to be a change in the Quality leadership so we can start engineering vehicles customers want and deliver high satisfaction. Is it time for a new Quality Czar?

External now, but got a job alert about this opening.

What CL are principal engineers? Are they the highest spot on technical side other than chief? What CL is chief? Do principals and chiefs rank well?

Does anyone know why this email came out yesterday moving GRE to the engineering group?

We’ve heard rumors of domestic onsite engineering headcount reductions in favor of offshoring work to the KLTC and BTC. Finally heard a real number; a 40% to 50% reduction in onsite engineering at the manufacturing sites by ~2030. Already importing folks from KL and BTC to fill key business team rolls onsite. Soon XOM will be run from Malaysia and India. Prepare your resumes.

Does principal engineers get stock grants at PNC? My recruiter said i will be getting but nothing mentioned on offer letter. Confused if i should join PNC.

What have you guys released in the past year? Not trolling, just wanted to get the list of new major releases.

No need to respond if only maintenance releases or new hardware configurations. Looking for new major releases.

Everything with these guys are "we are working on it", "that's under review" or "that's on X's plate".

H and his big mouth need to be stopped to keep from dragging down everybody else. His constant sabotage to make himself looks good is really hurting the bottom line.

A technology firm has announced significant job cuts impacting its employees. This decision comes as part of a broader strategic realignment within the organization. The company aims to streamline operations and adapt to evolving market conditions. Affected employees will receive support during this transition period. Further details regarding the scope of the layoffs are expected.

It hurts to say it, especially since I service ISG, but ISG deserves to be shut down.

Engineering can never release anything competitive on time, product management doesn't know what a roadmap is, and neither understands enough about the market to know that we are literally 7-10 years behind the competition in virtually every category.

We had this coming a long time ago.

I'm excited to be a Developer Advocate at Teradata!

One of the most rewarding parts of this role is working with developers, engineers, architects, and data professionals to help them build great solutions and have a better experience with our platform.

I'd love to hear from everyone at Teradata: How can I make your experience better?

Whether it's documentation, tutorials, sample code, demos, videos, office hours, community events, or something else entirely, I'm listening. Your feedback will help me focus on the things that have the biggest impact.

Drop your thoughts in the comments or send me a message. I'm looking forward to learning from you and helping make our developer experience even better.

Looks like the Qualcomm GPU team operates on family ties. While most people need a relevant Master's degree to get hired, I just get to know that some junior engineers with an unrelated Bachelor's was brought on a few years ago—and legacy hiring like that makes it feel like a family business

I've watched some of our best engineers leave for rivals. Nobody's even counteroffering. It's like they don't care.

Innovation doesn’t die because people run out of ideas.

It dies when meetings replace making.

When every experiment needs five approvals.

When PowerPoint or Keynote become more valuable than prototypes.

When politics outrank curiosity.

When protecting careers matters more than questioning assumptions.

When “alignment” becomes code for “don’t rock the boat.”

The irony is that the companies famous for disrupting industries often become experts at preserving the status quo.

You can hire the world’s best designers, engineers, and creatives, but if they’re rewarded for managing risk instead of creating value, don’t be surprised when innovation turns into theater.

Real innovation is messy. It creates tension. It challenges leaders. It makes some people uncomfortable.

If everyone in the room agrees, you’re probably not innovating—you’re just documenting consensus.

The biggest threat to innovation isn’t a lack of talent.

It’s bureaucracy wearing an innovation badge.

Is it clear enough after those years? Those BTC engineers are replacing Houston engineers!
Why there stupid Houston person even give free credits to BTC engineers. So stupid. You deserve to get PIP and replaced by BTC engineers.

The company is so top-heavy that management layers seem to outnumber the people doing actual engineering. Many of the best engineers—the ones who lived and breathed problem-solving—have long since left. What remains is an army of title-holders more interested in PowerPoint presentations, meetings, and career advancement than engineering.

The result is predictable: a growing shortage of genuine technical expertise and an organization that often struggles with problems that competent engineers should be able to solve routinely. Too many of today's so-called engineers couldn't design a simple cardboard box without forming a committee, scheduling a dozen meetings, and asking management for approval.

@j3+1kxyr77bx said it perfectly.

Was anyone in engineering impacted? It seems like this was mostly a retail layoff.

2 OSP engineers in NM walked out 7/16

Any engineers hearing about layoffs today?

Anyone else see the recently posted engineering positions in limerick Ireland? It looks like they are targeting fresh graduates. I have a few problems with this:

1. Weren’t all international operations sold to BT?

2. Why Ireland when our network is based in the United States?

3. These would be good positions for associates looking to move into engineering. Why are they looking outside the company when people inside the company would want these jobs.

In addition to the rolling layoffs we've seen in marketing and sales I can confirm that additional layoffs have hit roles in project management and engineering. Naturally this will never be addressed, but it would be nice to know when this can be expected to subside. Extremely disappointing approach from leadership and such a departure from the transparency of the founders and subsequent leaders.

Thomson Reuters is planning to reduce its workforce by up to 500 engineering positions. This move affects approximately 5.2% of its operations and technology unit employees. The company is increasing its use of artificial intelligence across its various business segments. A spokesperson stated that affected employees are being supported during this transition. Thomson Reuters also anticipates hiring over 250 net-new engineering roles globally in the next two years.

Heads up

I'm sick and tired of watching so many SWEs at Teradata coasting through their days like they're collecting a paycheck for breathing. You know who you are. You show up (barely), half-a-s a few tickets, spend more time in "syncs" and "brainstorms" than actually shipping code, and somehow think that's enough to justify your existence on the payroll. Newsflash: you're not bringing anything meaningful to the table.
The codebase doesn't improve itself. Features don't magically appear because you attended another standup or updated a Jira ticket with "in progress" for three weeks straight. Customers aren't impressed by your vague "explorations" or endless refactors that go nowhere. While the company is fighting in one of the toughest data analytics markets out there, you're dragging down velocity, inflating headcount, and forcing everyone else to pick up your slack.
If you're not consistently delivering high-impact work clean, production ready code that moves metrics, solves real problems, or accelerates our roadmap you're dead weight. Period. No more hiding behind "senior" titles or "architect" labels while contributing the output of a junior with a bad attitude. The bar is higher now, and a lot of you aren't clearing it. PIPs and layoffs aren't threats; at this point, they're overdue hygiene. Trim the fat, raise the average, and stop subsidizing mediocrity.
Meanwhile, shoutout to the ELT for actually having the guts to lead. Thank you for making the hard calls, for focusing on real execution over endless meetings and performative busyness, and for steering this ship through tough times instead of coddling underperformers. Your vision, accountability standards, and willingness to make changes are what keep Teradata competitive. Keep pushing. The company needs more of that energy at every level not the comfortable inertia that's been tolerated for far too long.
Time to ship or step aside. The rest of us are done carrying passengers.

5000 engineer will get laid off by sep 2026 confirmed news.

Just curious what people’s plans are. What do you think is the best exit route?
It seems that most people are just trying to get to JG3 and that’s basically the peak of their career at Shell unless they check the right box. I’m not sure if I want to climb that ladder for the sake of climbing. Not saying grass is greener on the other side, but just want to see what the options are.

Are there any cuts coming to engineering or cloud operations ? If so when

RIFs underway for McKesson Pharmacy Systems (EnterpriseRx), particularly in engineering. Most engineering to be outsourced overseas.
