Topics regarding layoffs at Teradata Corp.

Why are we still having layoffs?

So many people have been laid off so far but their work has not disappear. It's been distributed to the rest of who are already having trouble getting everything done in time. I'd really like to know what this ELT thinks is an okay amount of work for... — read more 

Do you remember your first day here?

How much of your initial expectations were actually met from the time you started working at TD? It’s funny to me when I think of my first day here. I came in full of enthusiasm, ideas, the will to learn, very ambitious. I was overjoyed when I... — read more 

Talent Naivety

I worked at Teradata for more than 5 years (probably 4 years too many IMHO). The saddest thing I observed, and refused to be part of, was the lack of recognition of true talent and skills and being forced to let them to. You only need to... — read more 

Toxicity at its best

Anyone that worked or still works at Teradata knows it is toxicity at its best. Those of you that put the bs on here about how great it is at Teradata are just jealous that you have not found a way out. Everything posted about becoming stagnant at... — read more 

SSEs notified today of layoff

All SSEs told today the CS business model is not sustainable, and they need to start looking for a new job. IBM has replaced NCR and will assume all SSE work too. Bonus: SSEs get to train their replacements. Savage for even you DH. ... — read more 

Freedom...

I'm free... the feeling of liberation and excitement is unbelievable. If you have not already, grasp the nettle and get out NOW. There are many jobs out there and the longer you stay with TD the more your skills are diluted and the harder... — read more 

Doing the same but expecting different results?

Teradata is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. Does this company even want to make any progress? It seems to me more and more that my superiors are not interested because they are persistently trying to... — read more 

They don’t know how to get the best out of people?

When I first came here I was full of enthusiasm, I tried my best, and then one day from all the stress I experienced a real panic attack for the first time. The colleagues with whom I came to Teradata were great experts, but they moved to competing... — read more 

Is it really that bad?

I'm not an employee but someone looking to pick up a few shares of TDC stock and I came across this board. After reading a few dozen posts, it seems like Vantage is a poor product and the managers are all mo--ns. Granted, this is coming from a... — read more 

Manila said goodbye to everyon

Bad News: Majority will be taken in by a local "partner" company (around 70%) - Most are MS. The said company will be taking over the teams from MS and the clients they are in. The rest will be laid off. Good News? HUGE PAYDAY FOR EVERYONE!!... — read more 

No shame in it…

I am able to retire in just a few short years. After being here for so long and seeing all the negative changes occur I’ve basically reached my limit and decided to look for other means of employment - actually any means of employment outside of... — read more 

Layoffs at CSS

It is clear to me that they are imminent. Are there any new details?

Your biggest complaint?

Even if there was no threat of possible dismissals, I would make every effort to get out of here because I just feel like I wasted time here. Developing and growing talent wasn’t even an afterthought and that’s one of my biggest complaints to this... — read more 

Somehow, things are even worse

Everyone I talk too who is not retirement eligible or very close is looking. Those in the former category are praying they can keep their job until they can exit. The morale is only getting lower and the new account teams are worse than ever. I... — read more

Why are people not waiting for severance?

Why are people leaving when they could wait for severance? I've been looking around and sending out my resume just to get a feel for how things are right now, but I have no plans of leaving until they kick me out with a nice package. I have zero... — read more 

I'm curious

How many of you have contemplated quitting in the past several months? How many have been job shopping for longer than that? I think the number of people who fit into these two categories is at least half of the entire workforce - which should... — read more 

So many resignations

Anyone else notice how many resignations have occurred since bonus payouts in mid-March? Particularly in the female population. Not unexpected by many of us, but seems to be coming as a surprise to people at the top as they scramble to uncover the... — read more 

A race against time

I believe a lot of people had a strong feeling that their job was going to be cut, but they didn’t think it was going to happen as fast as it happened, as someone already mentioned. I have a colleague who kept saying that he had to find an... — read more

AIP issues

I've talked to several people who did not receive AIP payout because they left before the pay period in which it was paid out but worked all performance year. Nobody remembers signing an agreement stating that limitation, nor signing the policy. ... — read more 

Delayed annual increase?

Anyone know the real reason why the increase discussion is moved to mid-year? Isn’t there usually a small layoff around that time? Should we be prepared for another round of layoffs

More ELT and we get screwed

Bonus was sh–, no RSU. Fat cat gave themselves plenty though. Lazy b–tards don’t do jack and expect us to carry company.

Another fantastic ELT hire...

So excited that, after loads of blanket statements about diversity and inclusion, we are hiring another white male to our ELT to do who knows what. Hey SM, if you're trying to cut some costs, maybe start with the DEI program. Obviously you don't... — read more 

Trying not to overreact

My boss and I have always had a good working relationship. But I’ve noticed in the last month or so he seems to be avoiding me like the plague. What little interaction we have there is no eye contact on his part and for some reason he seems to be... — read more 

Why are there no more innovative products?

With these “talents” left in Teradata, it amazes me that there aren't more product innovations. /sarc. They laid off some of the most innovative and talented people in this company. Where are they now? They shine in the companies they are in... — read more

Feeling of stagnation

Teradata is my first work experience and I have been working here for a little over six years. Now I realized I had lingered around here for too long because I'm starting to feel stagnant. Maybe I should have changed jobs after two or three years. I... — read more

Not the time to be picky?

I came to Teradata a little over two years ago, when I was looking for greener pastures. It turned out to be a complete failure. My previous job was way better. Now that I have prioritized job hunting again, I inquire a little more, I ask for more... — read more
