In listening to the People Leader Call sifting through a myriad of charts and what Teradata needs to do…. My thought is that if I’m a middle aged white manager, I have no career path in this company even to get to a director level. The priority in... — read more 

Not all who stayed are deadwoods, as is the prevailing opinion here.

I repeatedly see a lot of disinformation and fake news on this site, skilfully disguised as employee input. Perhaps it's got something to do with what Frank Slootman, Snowflake CEO, writes in his book Amp It Up? “In sales meetings I would sometimes... — read more 

What's your prediction as it relates to the possiblity of Teradata layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I used to be proud to work here and I'm a bit nostalgic for TD the way it used to be. I was very frustrated by all the wrong moves that drove this company to the ground. But is it worth thinking about it? If the leadership doesn't care, I don't... — read more 

What was the main criterion for deciding who gets to stay and whom to get rid of?

Enjoy your extended thanksgiving break by searching for a new job and getting out of this dumpster like place. Thank your colleagues, note that ELT or LT doesn’t care about you, and they will cut you without battling an eyelid… Happy Thanksgiving — read more 

I was unceremoniously laid off after 5 years 2 months of "service". This is the first time in the layoffs rodeo. My severance is 14 weeks of pay. Is it fair? Is it possible to negotiate?

How is HA still employed? Nobody knows.

Other than just sitting around and just vesting their options, doesn’t look like they care about happenings in TDC. SM’s presentations to the board every quarter starts off with an excuse, in the following order (and justify the fumbling in the... — read more

Can someone let me know the number of associates who got laid off the most recent round. I am an ex-TD employee and would like to know.

Each reorg is worse than the previous one. Almost every day I ask myself if our leadership even knows what it is doing?

I survived these cuts, but it's impossible to be relaxed here because everyone is already speculating when the next round of layoffs might happen. Work is overwhelming, but it wouldn't be a big source of stress if, on the other hand, employees... — read more 

This was the worst reorg ever. No rhyme or reasoning why a certain person was moved around or a group broken into shards. If felt like LT was playing roulette with live people. This is probably the straw that broke the camel’s back. Expect more... — read more 

With a successful pond and top notch innovation, I can't help to wonder how long before HA is pushed out. Will her rein last FY23?

Younger and cheaper. There's only one problem with that. TD has a reputation as a terrible place to work that has gone beyond those of us who work here. These days, any person worth their salt is staying as far away from TD as they can. Even the... — read more 

As simple as that. Teradata is extremely toxic and lacks a backbone. I'm still processing the fact that I was laid off. I am extremely happy I no longer need to worry about lake this lake that. It is all behind some of us. The future is bright and... — read more 

We will see.

I don't think that the motivation of the employees was particularly high even before the cuts, but it is certainly even lower after them. What is worrying is that TD does not seem to recognize it as an issue that needs fixing. I don't even think... — read more 

I got 10, the others I know got 12 (no matter how long they’d been)

Ringing the bell is the biggest achievement for the year? Really. Anyone listed on the exchange can request to ring the bell (a simple form to fill) and they get on the list. Let’s plant more trees and not talk about layoffs. Wasted opportunity... — read more 

Our manager acts as if we should be happy that we survived these layoffs. Well, in any case, I prefer to leave when I decide to and when I get an opportunity somewhere else, but I really doubt that anyone sees any future here anymore? I think that... — read more

All hands on deck.. should be a good one.. what joke.. .

I have 3 projects to work on, but I also have real troubles concentrating on work due to ongoing layoffs. Does anyone have this information?

I don't know about you, but I'm getting really tired of seeing our techs and engineers get cut. I can't imagine how we could lose any more than we already have. We're running on fumes now, and the only thing that seems to be growing is the amount of... — read more 

Why can't TD have one (1) year free of drama and lay-offs? This is so disheartening, we all want to believe in TD and its LT, however, the constant churn/layoffs are draining! What's the definition of crazy, doing the same thing over and over again... — read more 

It's nearly official and the takeover offer will be announced on the call.

Did Teradata post anything to recognize our Veterans? I may have missed it. If so please share.

It is zero, isn’t it.

I left Teradata a while back and you would not believe how happy I am now that I’m gone. If you were laid off, there are plenty of good opportunities out there and you will end up in a much happier place. Trust me. F**k them.

Seems every damn post is talking about another cut in Engineering. How is that possible. That is the last team that we should be cutting.
