Since about everything went up today, the handwriting is on the wall for Tuesday.

Nokia …. Kodak …. Blockbuster …. BlackBerry …………. Teradata is the next Same story… No vision … Bad Management

We have lost the only edge we had for awhile - Gartner's favorable rankings. Now we are out of the Leaders Quadrant of the MQ and the Spider Chart shows the rapid decline while Snowflake and Databricks are passing us. When will these two executives... — read more 

RIF is the strategy that allows ELT to keep milking while the ship is sinking.

Hearing whispers on my team & org. Anything confirmed yet? Total layoffs? Globally?

Then none would have made any extra money and they would have to figure out how to grow and win new customers. The apathetic board lets this merry go round keep circling around. This is not fixable. ELT will keep laying off while they su-k what’s... — read more 

I lost a few people on my team and am still wondering how widespread the layoffs are and if more are expected to come this year.

Anyone else wondering how much of it landed in LT's pockets while they have "successfully" and quietly (from the Street) laid off people a few times last year or, possibly, underinvested in R&D, cut costs up and down in all lines, so taking an... — read more 

This one chart tells you everything you need to know. Look at the downward trend from TDC and the upward climb from Snowflake. It also shows how dominant AWS is. Teradata totally missed the move to cloud, failed to expand their business model... — read more 

How can a company be in the fastest growing segment of the industry and perform this poorly? Shame on the board and all the senior leaders during this time. TDC = The Dying Company

Seeing a lot of GTM RIFs happen, anyone hear rumblings of similar shakeups in Marketing or Product?

We were told we are in a travel freeze, no promotions/raises till October (believe that when I see it) and yet - eLt mtgs in EMEA, Winners circle for 100+ in Hawaii (how do you celebrate NO NEW LOGOS?) continued RSU's to execs. Tell me again how this... — read more 

Leaving TD wouldn’t just be a relief; it would be a strategic victory. Given my tenure and the generous severance norms in Europe, it translates to a solid financial windfall for me. Frankly, I'm more than ready to shake off the dust and sprint... — read more 

TDC has done so many layoffs the past 6 years it’s something we are really good at. Flawless execution. 10 heartless minute calls and another one bites the dust. I survived another round. Glad I’m retiring in a year or two. If you are younger GTFO! — read more 

Does anyone have the number by year? If you graph employees, revenue, and customers you will see all three of these critical metrics are shrinking while the company is in one of the highest growth sectors (data and analytics) of the industry. This... — read more 

This promotion is exactly what Teradata needs to show the industry they are modern and cloud-native. IBM and Oracle were the pioneers of cloud. Hahahahaha what a joke. This board and company can not get a single executive hire right.

Announced today in email to company from SMcM.

Dying for TD ? Never. It's definitely sad but utterly pointless. Don't let despair take over your life! Life offers much more excitement and possibilities than what TD can. Give no heed to such a futile entity. Instead, grab the opportunity, take... — read more 

Just heard another victim to the black dog as a result of RIF action. When is this madness going to end? Loyal, hard working staff simply thrown aside with no care by the company. Whilst the ELT count their millions, the workers are suffering, they... — read more

The business model used to drive the TC feature release and Beta/GA timelines makes no sense. It is quite different from any other (successful) cloud-based company that I've worked for. These timelines seem to be driven ENTIRELY by customer demand... — read more 

Teradata has turned into a place where you simply collect a paycheck while you do the bare minimum. That's it. Nobody is trying because everybody and their mother know this is no longer a place to grow your career. This is our reality and frankly... — read more 

Whispers started to swirl about a big reorg off the back of Q1... any information or speculations which parts of the company it will cover? No point in asking what's the reason. All is clear.

TC gone May 1st? RP backfills into TC. New bloke hired or an internal promotion into JA's role?

There was a time when employees trusted those on top and believed that we were in this together. That time is long gone along with that trust. I don't believe this lot anything anymore. They have lied and gaslighted us so much in the past several... — read more 

SM said a big win was delayed in 2023 into 2024. Q1 is almost over. Where is it?

Did anyone else notice 5x trading volumes against average on Mar 15th? And the price maintained its levels!!! And this happened just before the black out period. What’s going on?

TC has been very active on Linkedin lately. Is there anything TC doesn’t “like” ;-) Guess he knows it’s time to exit stage left. Would have been nice if he had spent his time selling the company’s software rather than his own stock options. — read more 

I learned that JA left the company yesterday and RP will manage the transition. He left on her own?

Even it’s pretty late, if still possible TD should return to the basics. TD fate is in prioritizing customer-centric strategies. As the saying goes, 'It's the customer, stupid !' When customers are cared for, everything else falls into place. Since... — read more 

I am not surprised. At this point being laid off would be a blessing.

Say goodbye to one of the largest healthcare customers. 2024 is going to get ugly

Another ELT member (HA) just sold $545K this week, following in the footsteps of SM, TC, etc. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/teradata-corp-chief-product-officer-045226023.html

Is NC gone from TD? I used to see loads of Chappy comics and comments here but none for a while. LinkedIn still says he is roasting time there still.

Good work on cost saving plans

Anyone else notice this?

With management and executive management slashing everything, including AIP, did anyone get a decent percentage?

I was able to break free from this troubled mess Teradata has become. I did not realize how depressing and dysfunctional Teradata is until I got hired by a healthy, growing cloud company. Databricks, Snowflake, AWS, or innovative startups can all... — read more
