We have a guy on our team who is consistently not meeting expectations and is challenging for the whole group to work with. He isn't even trying and somehow he has avoided every single round of layoffs in the eight years he's been here. That's the TD... — read more 

Teradata should be a private company. Break the bonds of quarterly tactical planning. Plan for the future. Jettison DEI. We need and Elonesque figure to buy us, gut the ELT, and fire the entire board.

Have you registered? Will you register? Word is that it is going to be dominated by the product organization and that sales is taking a back seat. This only furthers the idea that we are imploding. We have stopped listening to our customers... — read more 

SM often speaks of the "infinite game." Yet, we never seem to think past the quarter we are in. We make pathetically small investments in marketing. We have no Customer Board to ensure our product satisfies their current and future needs. We have... — read more

Although I think there are still talented people here, they are in the minority. Shortage of talent is the biggest threat to the future of their company, but apparently the leadership doesn't think so?

I have a genuine question. What does Teradata have "on the truck" anymore? Our last 2 releases are absolutely plagued with bugs. VCLE is only on AWS and doesn't even support RedShift. VCLE will be on Azure someday, maybe, Possible-ly. We spend... — read more 

TD is rapidly changing for the worse. Best employees left a long time ago, average talents continue to leave as well. That's why I'm surprised by the rumors I hear about layoffs. Is there anyone left to be laid off?

Teradata used to have a policy to not do a RIF during the Holidays. What are the odds they RIF in December this year?

Someone mentioned that JW travels with a professional makeup artist. If this is on Teradata's dime, I hope she has to pay it back. If she is paying for it herself, she should demand a refund!

Scott Brown should have been our CEO. Instead, we are stuck with a tiny man that doesn’t seem to understand sales or engineering. Our board jumped the shark on SM. We get what we deserve with that choice.

I think that there are still many talented people here who, for some reasons of their own, are still here, and not in much better companies where they would be much more valued. However, the question is how long will TD remain lucky enough to have... — read more

PSW is gone. Circumstances seem mysterious, or at a minimum very sudden. The good ones go, the new ones, not so good.

I hope no one has heard any new rumors about layoffs? Please share if you have any insights. I am very worried because the atmosphere at TD has never been gloomier, at least since I have been here.

I've been around long enough to remember when Vic Lund said that we sell Bentleys, not Yugos. I feel like we still operate with that mentality. One can only hope that our strategy is similar to Bentley....get bought by a bigger, better run... — read more

When TDC drops another $2 it will be back where it started in 2007. 15 years squandered by vision less executives. CTO SB has been there the entire sad time. Why? This is a depressing, dying company who could not spell CLOUD and now it’s too late — read more 

At least 40 of the smartest are now working for real cloud companies. This ELT has not promoted from within, and have driven away the best employees by their lack of appreciation of talent. It is so much better once you are out of this dying... — read more

Stay if you're close to retirement, jump ship asap if you're not However, the question remains how close should the employee be to retirement so that it would be better to stay?
