Sounds like Q1 earnings was a rollercoaster of excuses and understated dissatisfaction ! What makes TDC weak in a strong market ? How to thrive again ? That’s the question. Calm and clear answers awaited.

Ignore the rest of the lies and BS. Revenue is shrinking. The death march will accelerate and it’s too late. No new logos. Once customers are on AWS their next step is to turn off legacy Teradata. The way this ELT has treated long-term employees I’m... — read more 

When you get rid of the best sales people the organisation had, a decline in revenue (in a booming market) is the result. Surely the folks at Mck would have advised the ELT that this would likely happen? Or did they just give more dud advice?

Dear SM. Now that you have unsuccessfully held three earnings calls, you should be towards the end of your excuses list. You can exit the Teraverse and face reality. You have traveled to many countries and taken many selfies. You have racked up miles... — read more

RIF is the strategy that allows ELT to keep milking while the ship is sinking.

Hearing whispers on my team & org. Anything confirmed yet? Total layoffs? Globally?

Then none would have made any extra money and they would have to figure out how to grow and win new customers. The apathetic board lets this merry go round keep circling around. This is not fixable. ELT will keep laying off while they su-k what’s... — read more 

I lost a few people on my team and am still wondering how widespread the layoffs are and if more are expected to come this year.

Anyone else wondering how much of it landed in LT's pockets while they have "successfully" and quietly (from the Street) laid off people a few times last year or, possibly, underinvested in R&D, cut costs up and down in all lines, so taking an... — read more

This promotion is exactly what Teradata needs to show the industry they are modern and cloud-native. IBM and Oracle were the pioneers of cloud. Hahahahaha what a joke. This board and company can not get a single executive hire right.
