The company has been in decline for a number of years. That should partly be blamed on the product but dig deeper and identify the other constant. With a last in first out policy, recent hires who have not created the negative impact on existing... — read more 

I would think they would celebrate that useless diversity hire getting canned.

How many people were laid off in the June sweep, all salespeople or others affected? Glad to be with a competitor!

….or will there be another round?

The new cost cutter is getting an inducement award to board the sinking ship. The awards were made pursuant to Teradata’s previously announced 2025 New Employee Stock Inducement Plan (“NESIP”) and as a material inducement to Mr. Rogers joining... — read more 

After leading a disastrous systems 'upgrade' (Optimus Prime?! What are we? 12yo?) and with a disorganized and dispirited workforce that he rarely communicates with in any meaningful way, its time to see if others can do better. At the very least, we... — read more 

It's time

A lot of people in India and Pakistan who were not billable or working on internal non revenue generating projects were let go. This ship is sinking fast.

Teradata having a celebration event is like the Colorado Rockies celebrating their star players. And flying them to Rome? Shows how out of touch and privileged the ELT is. I guess there is an award for who’s revenue shrunk the least.

It’s time for the lazy incompetent AE’s and the Service Sales Executive in the UK&I who have been hiding behind the promise of sales on large accounts to go. They have been BANKING on being shielded by the sheer fact that they have ownership of the... — read more 

That embarrassment of a CMO is gone and off the website. I imagine Marketing types globally are dancing in the streets.

Managers here don’t manage anything. My boss doesn’t even know my name, doesn’t train me, and doesn’t care. I ask for help and get ignored. What’s the point? I’m young, not stupid. This isn’t how you run a business. I already have two interviews... — read more 

I’m astonished how the some of sales people in EMEA (specifically those incompetent ones in UK&I) are unscathed by the latest round of rifs. More than likely they are being protected by incompetent geo leads a yet once again our company has lost... — read more

Lake is what ultimately led to the company’s downfall. Six years of investment driven by HA, TM, and DS yielded no revenue. It’s disheartening to see Teradata—once the undisputed leader in data warehousing—reduced to this.

Shake out CxO, re org here and there to distraction from core issues, bring buddies from previous companies . Same pattern everywhere and every time

For those of you that have been at TD for a couple years, you've seen how quickly the company is collapsing. Declining revenue, stock price below IPO two decades ago, huge turnover in management, ZERO product innovation, consistent layoffs in high... — read more 

It's ok to feel bad. Despite what some ungrateful individuals might say on here, it's never a joyous occasion to find yourself out of a job. Best of luck on your job search.

Yes failed leadership and vision has led to the decline of Teradata. Too engrossed in the hype of a legacy solution which now has been overtaken by creative, visionary competitors who connect with customers at a both technical and strategic level... — read more

What will most definitely be another difficult week for some hard working employees who will be faced with redundancy through no fault of their own, is it time to start calling those culpable individuals out who have just taken an easy ride. Let’s... — read more 

In sales it's all self evident really. Look around you, you will see people that have survived the RIF action YOY. Survival is not always down their capability...it's about several things and they have got it down to an art. Firstly, make sure you... — read more 

Getting laid off from this demoralizing, crumbling company would be a true liberation.

As the inevitable looms for many at TD across the globe, will those fortunate sales people who have avoided the cull year on year self reflect and acknowledge they could have and should have done more. I see from a recent post, Sales were... — read more 

Good luck, TD. But I fear it's too late now. When I worked there years ago, I remember the CTO — in his Hawaiian shirt — confidently denying the relevance of Cloud technology, while senior Solution Architects nodded along like it was gospel. I felt... — read more 

TDC stock lower than IPO 18 years ago. Dismal and depressing company. Who still works there? Must be a grind every day.

Tools down guys, first round June and second round July. AEs with no pipeline, overlays and underperforming BUs are gone first then marketing. Deeper cuts in July. Reliable senior source. Stop working now and get your CV out. The ELT has gone too... — read more

There’s been a rumor going around for a while. June is just around the corner.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out where things have gone wrong at Teradata. The company has a history of the leadership rewarding incompetent employees by promoting them into roles that require strategic vision. This is evident in EMEA... — read more

You heard it here first

Does that mean we're safe for now?

Should we read anything in to the new CFO John Ederer's experience of the "successful sale" of his previous company? Not the only one either and specifically called out in the announcement.
