Thread regarding Teradata Corp. layoffs

A little positivity?

Is all the bashing of Teradata and its senior leaders here really warranted? There's a reason why Teradata is consistently ranked a top employer in nearly every city where it has an office. Because it's a really great place to work. The pay is well above average, the benefits are 1st class and the company does really care about its employees.

Now I don't kid myself. I know at some point that Teradata will need to make a decision in its interest that won't be in mine. I come to this site to get an idea of when that may happen so I can plan accordingly. Instead I just end up reading a bunch of nasty comments about how terrible the company is. Last summer we cancelled our lawn care service for financial reasons and now my husband cuts the grass. I would sure hate to think the crew that came out to my house each week was now online badmouthing me like a lot of you are doing to Teradata.

I love Teradata but I'm a realist. At some point they will probably lay me off. But til then, I am committed to giving them my best and so should the rest of you.

I'd say the 5000 staff cut from the business over the past few years all to fund payrises for a select few would beg to differ from your view that it ain't so bad a place

If you're not in the SVP inner circle, don't even bother licking the boot, you're just another cronie they can replace at anytime doesn't matter how hard you work. You may think you can squeeze in but you're just another cog in the machine to them

Other threads here have some positivity, talking about the Oct 2026 layoff. It would be good to help others exit Teradata, even if forcefully via a RIF.

@OP OK. I positively think you’re an underskilled bootlicker and your opinion is worthless.

@qv The latest and relevant iteration of Teradud was when it spun off from NCR and received stock ticker TDC on the stock exchange.

Teradata was started in 1979. It helps to actually understand the history of the company if you want to really understand how far it has fallen

@p5 Now that’s hardly fair. Since inception in 2007, Teradata stock is now worth 1.61 higher! Incredible performance!

@OP You’re on the wrong board if you want anything positive about Teradud. Maybe there is a Teradud board that showers glitter on everyone and is run by the titan of HR.

You are probably in HR and enjoy laying off people. More than likely you do not have a husband or yard. Not with what Teradata pays.

I would rather work for the displaced lawn care than TD!

Relax Super-engineer. Butt-kissers last longer than productive employees so you are safe for a bit. Good try on the post changeup though.

Please let the board know when your time has come so we can celebrate with you.
