TC has been very active on Linkedin lately. Is there anything TC doesn’t “like” ;-) Guess he knows it’s time to exit stage left. Would have been nice if he had spent his time selling the company’s software rather than his own stock options. — read more
JA left the company
I learned that JA left the company yesterday and RP will manage the transition. He left on her own?
Customers !
Even it’s pretty late, if still possible TD should return to the basics. TD fate is in prioritizing customer-centric strategies. As the saying goes, 'It's the customer, stupid !' When customers are cared for, everything else falls into place. Since... — read more
Continuing to lose customers

Chappy
Is NC gone from TD? I used to see loads of Chappy comics and comments here but none for a while. LinkedIn still says he is roasting time there still.

AIP…did anyone get the full 95%?
With management and executive management slashing everything, including AIP, did anyone get a decent percentage?
Escape If You Can
I was able to break free from this troubled mess Teradata has become. I did not realize how depressing and dysfunctional Teradata is until I got hired by a healthy, growing cloud company. Databricks, Snowflake, AWS, or innovative startups can all... — read more
Why Was Previous CMO Post Cancelled?
The post that had the most views that clearly outlined all the ethical concerns with the CMO disappeared. Why? Maybe Elon should buy The Layoff so we can have transparency on this site. This type of unacceptable executive behavior needs to be... — read more
Teradata Cloud Migrations > Major Step Towards Moving Off Teradata

The word is out that it's not good to work here anymore

Merit Increases and Promotions Cancelled Until October
With no warning, merit increases and promotions scheduled for March 1st have been cancelled until October. If you were looking for a sign it is time to leave TD this is it. Why would you trust to even get it in October at this point?
No merits in March
And no promotions... of course LT doesn't need/rely on merits to face high inflation across the world economies, they can just sell TD stocks they shouldn't be receiving for their "outstanding" performance... for the rest of us... who cares about the... — read more

Leadership of PS in UK&I is a Joke

Incompetence is they key success and longevity at TD

Good Companies Promote From WithIn - TDC Did The Opposite
Teradata brought in numerous unqualified outsiders to fill all the key positions (ME, RP, ET, NC, TC, HA, JW, etc. and their directors, so the smart employees saw there was no upward mobility for them and left for greener pastures. Plus they hired a... — read more
TDC Stock Lower Than 10 Years Ago
This time in 2014 the stock was around $50. Now it is $37. This is in the fastest growing segment of the IT market. Yet the BoD let countless ELT members rake in millions with RSUs not linked to growth metrics. Teradata will become a case study in... — read more

PE Vultures Waiting.....
The PE vultures will end of buying TDC for a huge discount to milk the last drops out of the cow before it falls over in the pasture. The ELT has not clue what to do next now that they are exposed.
"More New Logos Than Previous Quarters" - Means 1 or 2 new customer wins....
