I'm a middle mgnt and will just inform, if you receive a 30 min calendar booking with you manager during next week, you are gone.
If you decide to make a point, then
What's with all these distraction and debate over 1% eps? Will you please take those arguments to linkedin for visibility, synergy, agentic tera or what not. On a separate note, now that a real AI company chief is caught with his pants down, you... — read more
This leadership team is doing the job
This board's default setting is to treat SM, SA, and the rest of the ELT like a punchline. I'm not joining that chorus. I think well of this leadership team because of what they actually reported and decided, not because I claim to know their... — read more
Q3 is out. The adults in the room delivered.
Non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.70 and beat the Street. Public cloud ARR hit $700M, up 11%. Adjusted free cash flow $96M. Total ARR still climbing. Recurring is 90% of the business. SM and SA reaffirmed the full-year ARR and cash-flow outlook and raised... — read more
Reorg confusion
What does everyone think of the reorg. It seems a bit shambolic and in my area in EMEA, people are already saying it has to be reversed sooner rather than later. The management led by Chris Pilon don’t seem to understand how things actually work on... — read more
In all seriousness, Teradata used to be a great place
It's the last several years that have ruined this place. If we could go back to the way things were, I'd be the happiest person in the world. Sadly, with this leadership, I doubt anything good is in our future.
How a real AI company is doing
In an updated IPO filing on Monday, Anthropic said it has entered into purchase commitments and lease agreements with an aggregate committed spend of approximately $895.4 billion. An earlier version of the filing didn’t include that figure. Anthropic... — read more
Nov Layoffs
Why is the top post not about layoffs on the thelayoffs.com? Are there layoffs November 16th and 17th?
Look out Teradata…
“Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) and Oracle have launched Snowflake's AI Data Cloud as a native, first party service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Oracle customers can now provision and manage Snowflake directly on OCI within their existing Oracle... — read more
Low Expectations Allows CEO to Survive
TDC stock is down $22 per share the past five years in a rapid growth market. Pathetic performance by any measure. It’s such a dog, that’s why the board keeps the same CEO in place. They don’t expect any better. Must be a depressing place to work... — read more
Good week to be long TDC
TDC is up 63% over the past year. Weird, I don't remember that being in any of the doom threads here. SM and SA steered right through everything this board swore would sink us, and the market just voted. I'm up over $60k in stock gains. That's what... — read more
Nov 5th Layoffs?
I hear a lot of people mentioning Nov 5th layoffs. How do we know that this is the timeline?
Uh Oh, no jobs at TD
For the first time in a long time, Teradata has ZERO jobs listed globally.
Dallas and London Teradata tours
Marketing wasteful spending or building pipeline and interest. Meanwhile rest of the engineering is just generating products that are not any different, if not worse, than other vendors.
Everyone chill for a sec
Most of what's on this board is rumor. Nobody here actually knows what's coming, and refreshing this page all day is just stressing everyone out. SM has steered us through some tough stretches, and I trust the direction we're headed. Do good work... — read more
India - Leaders
Do we have a peoples representative in India. We thought HR would help, but he is so isolated that we don't if he atleast the right person. We see zero motivation from him, no office improvements, facilities are literally freezed. Cherry on top is... — read more
Are the numbers cooked?
Is anyone else staring to suspect the numbers are cooked?
The End
Teradata will no longer be in business come 2030. This train ride is over, now get off.
Oh, boy!
Teradud stock actually made it slightly over 30! What a performance! Of course Snowflakes was up 10.55 to 343.40. That was based on this: JPM sees software rally extending, favors Microsoft, ServiceNow, Snowflake
favoritism at product organization
There is favoritism within the Product organization and it is impacting employees and Teradata. Proximity to the CPO and his inner circle provides greater job security and career opportunities, while employees with years of institutional knowledge... — read more
Layoff this week 10/5 - 10/9/2026
Ask CPO Anything scheduled. What should one ask?
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... — read more
India org culture
We are not comparing with any country. But the culture of India org is so worst. We have few worst managers and we don't have a proper HR too, he should be replaced at the earliest. Our manager is forcing to office but HR doesn't send email. Are... — read more
Finance - such fiscal responsibility!
It was good to see that Finance were taking budget control matters so seriously that they held a large, global F2F meeting in San Diego. Hope the bbq at the boss's mansion limited the catering budget.
You don't get extra points for being exhausted
Some people talk about sixty hour weeks as if they're proving how committed they are. I don't see it that way. If you're spending that much time working, you're giving up a huge part of your life for the job that will most likely reward you with even... — read more
Teradata hiring (Indian bias)
Over the past year and a half, many White and Asian leaders in Engineering and Product have been forced out --- while many new leadership come from the same Indian background. Layoffs seem to disproportionately affect non-Indian engineers, while new... — read more
Cpo and India move
I heard new cpo is planning a sizable layoff soon and his goal is to move engineering to India completely - - except hw. He was known to hire only h1bs at Cisco according to Reddit back in the day..
Another layoff coming
potentially october - across all regions.
Crippling Anxiety
I hate what Teradata has become, expecting us to work 12-14 hour days to meet unrealistic expectations.. we can’t sleep, we can’t eat, we can’t spend time with our families. There is no work-life balance here
Just sending my resume everywhere
Has anyone else reached the point where they're applying to basically anything just hoping something sticks? I've sent out 146 resumes and I know I have the skills, so I don't understand why nothing is happening.
why was the post on culture removed?
it had some good inputs - who is the mod ?
Getting cut was a weird kind of relief
I never thought I'd be grateful to get cut, but that's pretty much how I felt when it happened. The constant changes, layoffs, and offshoring had me so stressed that even seeing a meeting pop up from my manager would make my stomach drop. I didn't... — read more
How can I find a new job after TD?
I was coldly let go a few months ago. I took some time to deal with the consequences of what they did to me, but now, I'm ready to go back to work. Could mentionning TD on my resume be a deal-breaker preventing potential employers to hire me? I've... — read more
Culture
India memebers have literally spoiled the work culture. Some managers are so rude.
A simple question
If you were a CIO, would you bet your career and reputation on recommending Teradata to the CEO?
Grateful to be part of this AI transformation journey. Don't downvote
Just wanted to take a second and say how energized I am by where Teradata is headed. Yes, there have been some org optimizations over the last couple of years. That’s what high-performing companies do. We are leaner, more focused, and laser-aligned... — read more
End of August review of Teradata vs. competitors
ChatGTP lays it out…Super-engineer sure is not pulling his weight. 2025–26 comparison The comments were in a graph tha cannot be produced here, but this is what is covered: Company Recent revenue growth Employee trend What it tells... — read more
H-1B?
Lot's of discussion going on about H-1B visa abuses. Teradata OK here? SA?
The transformation
Good employees who see others advance while they're stuck become bad employees in the end. I've seen it happen many times at TD. This place is really good at turning good employees into bad ones.
