Listen to Wall Street, not the C-Suite
SM and CB were basically forced to admit to analysts that the company is not growing. Not a good look for a company in a high-growth industry. Analysts are realizing the company is a dud with investors giving it a D or F rating and saying not to buy... — read more
And here comes the lawyers
And here come the lawyers https://www.morningstar.com/news/business-wire/20240213345997/tdc-news-johnson-fistel-has-commenced-an-investigation-on-behalf-of-teradata-shareholders TDC NEWS: Johnson Fistel Has Commenced an Investigation on Behalf of... — read more
The Emperor is, in fact, na--d
And so is his entire incompetent ELT. Finally the analysts woke up and started asking a few tough questions (or rather their stand-ins did). But too late. Absolute car crash and it is now clear that SM and CB have been less than honest with the... — read more
What's the damage to AIP and how many of us will be laid off
All I care about. Make your bets here. My bet is 75% AIP and will shed 300 people, mainly from a back office and consulting. PS. The video from SM and CB was not inspiring. One bit.
There is only one number that mayters
Revenue up a whopping 2% YOY. When the rest of the industry is up double digits. Looks like Teradud is on life support.
We Didn’t Drown!
We are the only company who celebrates treading water. Our revenue is flat but SM will tell the analysts “our strategy is working. Who buys the house of cards?
A number of fire drills across the business...

Possible Buyout - rough estimate
If any company were crazy enough to "but the installed base", what is the approximate number of customers that are still with TDC? NOT looking for proprietary info, just a guesstimate on the size of the installed base. Fairly easy to work back from... — read more
There was a time when our office....
Was fun to go into. Our culture was great, our customers loved us, we were working the deals, making our number and even engaging with new prospects. Then something happened. We signed a new logo and as soon as we did, the powers that be riffed the... — read more
Why not leave?
I feel bad for those that are on here that got laid off from Teradata. Hopefully they can find another job. It seems that there are many followers here that are still at Teradata and contribute to this board. Question for those people is, why... — read more
New Business, New Logos, New Customers, New Prospects????
How many of the "new" items resulted from SKO activities? Aside from "sunshine & happiness" from the ELT, did they have anything of substance to say? I'm guessing the answers to these questions are "zero" and "no"
We’ve become the cobbler whose kids don’t wear shoes.
Anyone else find it interesting that we tell customers to use data to improve revenues, connect with their customers, drive innovation, and eliminate silos—when we are losing revenue year over year, losing customers without gaining any new ones, are... — read more
Stuck in DC, wanting out
I'm in my hotel room after a terrible day here at SKO in DC. I can't take the lies and rubbish they feed us. No one wants to talk about the ghost in the room which is a massive decline in our business. No one wants to talk about why management... — read more
JW should be fired for non-performance
How long will stockholders put up with non-performing diversity hires? Stock price is artificially high and revenue is trending down. Stock price is not the indicator of health apparently. And JW is in way over her head. No new logos and nothing on... — read more
SKO
Here’s an idea…when any of the loser ELT members get on stage at SKO: SILENCE. No mo--nic clapping and hooting or even booing. Just silence. That would be fun to watch.
What we know about the ELT
HA is grossly incompetent, but SM has a school boy crush on her, which HA exploits. The second-hand embarrassment when those two are together is off the charts. TC wonders why a guy who still uses a Rolodex can’t sell legacy technology, then blames... — read more
I can't think of anything positive about working at TD
Pay is not where it should be, benefits are even worse, we have to deal with toxic managers daily, favoritism is running rampant, if you want to get promoted you need to know someone higher up... The list goes on and on. I remember when I liked... — read more
Another top manager brought in from Oracle...
This time it is an INTL CFO... ex-Oracle managers are now across different TD levels and organisations... Is it because Oracle itself has been successful in adopting a Cloud strategy?
I Don't think Todd made his number and he sells 1.2 million $ in stock.

Fire HA for the Gartner MQ Disaster
The head of product has no where to hide. Here product is officially a dog. She should be fired, period. She snowed SM from the start. She has no technical skills and is ego-driven and pushing a divisive social agenda. Time to go...
Happy being led by sub par BofD and ELT?
Can't understand why anyone with a brain would stick around at TeraDump, waiting to be laid off by people who drives the place into the ground and being rewarded for it. You are following people who have accomplished nothing but got to where they... — read more
Feel good story that might scare our activist ELT
Many of our ELT (HA, KCC, JW) are like members of the USWNT. While this story will not save TeraDying (product issues), it may be the beginning of ELT demise as tide is turning on their activism to provide a more tolerable place to... — read more
Layoff response - future in your hands, deny them the satisfaction
Sorry to hear our colleague checking out. For the rest of us, still under the incompetent regime or not, deny them the satisfaction of laying people off. If you've been affected, have no fear. It's just a matter of time. If you've not been... — read more

SNOW Market Cap $60B, TDC Market Cap $4B
The numbers say all you need to know. Our ex-part-time contractor, so called Chief Technical Officer SB called Snowflake a "toy" and said the cloud would never work for enterprise data warehousing. And nobody else on the ELT had enough market... — read more
Who did this?
"Drive faster, easier, and cost-effective AI innovation with Teradata AI Unlimited" I think they need to add a few more adjectives to make this even more sprawling on our landing page. Like a bad, wordy PowerPoint that nobody reads.
Teradata Case Study in 100 Words
Visionary tech leaders like PN built an innovative scalable MPP data warehouse that was differentiated for many years. Sadly, vision-less NCR sales guys took over (MH, then MK) + a legacy-minded, part-time CTO (SB) stalled innovation. TDC totally... — read more

Life after the great 2023 Halloween RIF
Like so many others, I was blindsided and RIF'd on Halloween day. Yes, it has been a rough couple of months, but I was able to land another gig starting early January. It's not hopeless, just keep pressing forward and don't look back.
Gartner MQ Graphically Shows TDC’s Demise
Teradata somehow convinced Gartner the last three years to keep them in the leaders quadrant. Gartner could not keep doing this and retain any credibility. TDC kept announcing “we are a leader” even though they were in 8th or 9th place. Now they... — read more

8 Leaders in Gartner - Teradata Isn’t One…
Teradata slipped all the way out. What a shame. The decline has been evident for many years. At least they finally fired the out of touch CTO. The rest of the ELT should be fired too. Sadly it’s too late to get this legacy train back on track. It... — read more
