Topics regarding layoffs at Teradata Corp.

How is this even possible?

It’s crazy that some folks have been at TD for a decade and still don't know how to or bother to do their jobs. They ignore meetings and take forever to respond to emails, if they don't outright ignore them as well. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to... — read more

Clueless ELT and suffering employees

This ELT is purely a management graduates who are taking actions by the books and has no clue about the company’s vision. Picked up the buzz word AI and now attached it to company’s agenda. Innovation is a joke right now.

I’m hoping I will be laid off this coming round

Still Working at Teradata?

If so, why? It’s a miserable place, revenue is shrinking, competitors are taking your customers, the ELT sits around calculating how many to RIF in order to make their OI target and bonus, and the CEO says the strategy is working. The longer you... — read more

No more layoffs?

I feel like everyone has moved on from the news of pending layoffs. Suddenly lots of people are taking vacations (probably their last before they are laid off). The anxiety is down. We are all waiting for layoffs. Can’t wait to see the 15 minute hr... — read more

Redundancy List?

When will the redundancy list be shared? This uncertainty is negatively impacting productivity. Also it will be nice to understand what a severance package can look like. For those who have been through layoffs with Teradata, what was the severance... — read more 

Are you also hoping to be laid off?

This has become the most depressing place. I’ve recently started looking for another job. If it all works out as I hope, being simultaneously laid off would be a win-win.

Now we're being told to not be so negative

Managers are calling staff and telling them to cheer up and stop being negative about the product/culture. Is this the new mandate being handed down? We've got a cr-p product, our processes are cumbersome and it takes ages to get a response back to... — read more 

SM - The Ryan Leaf of the Analytics Industry

The last time a San Diego organization had a bust this big was when the Chargers put their money and faith in a rookie quarterback. Teradata’s rookie CEO is as big a bust. All we got was DEI, RIFs, and declining revenue. At least Leaf moved to San... — read more

Another customer moving to Databricks

Today my major customer announced they were moving to Databricks. There are nine months until the renewal date and that is their target. I am now assuming this will put me on the local Redundancy list. Just sit and watch and wait it out.

TD is such a toxic workplace

Even when we ignore constant layoffs, the work environment has become unbearable. The work drama never stops. The management is, mildly put, clicky and treats everybody outside of their inner circle poorly. The rest of us are not treated like human... — read more 

SM Raked in $15M for What???

This is insane. Average workers making $100-200K get laid off to pay SM this much? As Chief Executive Officer at TERADATA CORP, Stephen McMillan made $14,732,749 in total compensation. Of this total $800,000 was received as a salary, $950,000 was... — read more 

I’m not committing

Let them figure out first who they are going to lay off. Then I’ll wait to see if they come up with the strategy that can save TD. By the time I can actually consider committing, I would have probably found another job and be gone from here for good... — read more 

Voluntary Redundancy?

Why don’t they ask people to volunteer to leave with an agreed severance?
