Perhaps I would stay here a little longer if there weren't many other options out there. However, since there are currently many openings, there is no point in staying here any longer. Those who say they can't get a better offer, I don't believe... — read more 

What am I missing? Time after time the LT breaks trust by saying one thing in Hands All meetings and then following up with exact opposite actions... just a few weeks ago it was all so rosy (best q results blah-blah-blah, green all over), only to... — read more 

So lets understand this. Teradata just axed all of their sales staff responsible for new customers. So there is no growth at all from new customers (because there are no new customers). Existing customers continue to slowly offload workloads to... — read more

The first Possible event is about 11 weeks away, and the website still has “save the date” information. JW and her overpaid VPs can’t even pull together a basic brochure or details in a timely manner. Incredible. Wonder who they’ll blame for this. — read more 

Heard layoffs might be happening tomorrow… here we go again!

I noticed people who no longer work at TD popping up on this forum, so I thought I'd throw this question out there. For those who were laid off, how tough was it to land a new gig? Especially considering everything that's been going on this year? I'm... — read more

With the recent departure of CM in APJ, it seems the purge against those who spoke out against her has begun with a SD given their marching orders. And in return they reward a loyal lieutenant of CM. It hasn't taken too long, only a few weeks for the... — read more 

I dont think theres anything that can save Teradata. They've laid off the people that could have made changes. Multiple times! ELT is poor + only concerned about cashing out stock. On top of all that the Board must be asleep at the wheel because if... — read more 

Kudos for pulling the wool over the world to deliver earnings and raise the share prices by laying off the people that can help the business. ELT have dismantled everything, products, organization, culture, people , process, morale... They´ve... — read more 

I joined Teradata as Senior Director and stayed for more than half a year when I was laid-off. I have already moved on, but I keep seeing people celebrating getting hired by Teradata on LinkedIn. So, I figured I would be just an accomplice if I let... — read more 

ELT and mgmt now is bad but no improvements in sight. They´re training their disciples to ensure it continues. Just see who are favorites among their chronies and what have they done ...

I probably work and see if I sort through resumes for candidates like JW. Might review NC speech when came on board to get some inspiration.

Everything, and I'm talking about every single thing, was just plain awful. The work environment was toxic with a capital T. Constant backstabbing and high-school politics are an everyday occurrence. Not to mention, I got so much work piled on our... — read more

ELT is looking to hire back a number of people but why would anyone want to come back to this place? What has changed? It´s the same group of arrogant people that no one trust or respect. Some have made a sport of leaving and returning multiple... — read more 

No one stand to gain more than ELT in recent layoffs... certainly less expenses make it look like they are doing their jobs but their incompetency and political vindictiveness got rid of so many good people. Along with less headcount cost are the... — read more

Seriously, what moves would improve things???

Right before the quarterly results this forum gets chatty, but it looks pretty quiet out here. Nothing to vent anymore? Everything happy on all fronts (p.s. not a typical gaslighting post)

We are not financial analysts but we do know the pulse.

I haven't been around Teradata long (12 months), but I have been around long enough to know that locally our culture is going downhill. I'm in the GTM team for an APJ country and we've been witnessing a gradual decline over the past 12 months of an... — read more 

You could see it coming but it’s still hard to believe. This is what happens when your CTO is a cloud denier. #TDCGotSnowballed

Maybe Teradata should give each new customer a bar of soap shaped like our old Hardware Platforms. A soap DBC1012 and perhaps a 5100+. Well we have no new customers so I guess we would need to keep the soap. It is the only way we can clean up this... — read more
