All is fine here. Nothing to see. The stock is down because of the conflict in Europe. HA is not here, but SM is good with sci-fi.

I have been with Teradata for 14 years and I have to say that I have never seen a company fall so far from grace so fast. The simplistic problems I see are: Moving the headquarters from economy minded Miamisburg, OH to San Diego, California, the... — read more 

Total number of customers, and new customer wins. TDC had ~1200 customers in 2015, now they have less than 800 customers. This should alarm all investors. We reported the number of new customer wins a few years ago and had a goal to win 100 annually... — read more 

The whole situation at TD is frustrating. Why is TD so stuck in the past?

I'm trying to stay positive but it's getting harder each day. A lot of people are leaving and those who stay don't care about this company anymore. The leadership doesn't have any concrete vision and it seems quite powerless to take advantage of... — read more 

Reading these posts, is it a smear campaign by a competitor or a bitter employee. Why not compare the good things. The market cap difference. Better to compare the total valuation decline over the last year. Total new logos. Better to compare... — read more 

Stocks are down, investors are shaken. Let’s reorg and RIF so that the books look good for Q2. Which department should we start with…

If your team was behind in a football game 49-4 you would be firing the coaching staff. Instead TDC's board compensates their ELT without heavily factoring in revenue growth, stock price appreciation, or market cap. What a sham. TDC posted flat... — read more 

Guess, market is catching up… not buying smooth talking and cute accents any longer

Best CEO we ever had…, if we can bring them back. Bill Nuti Mark Hurd Koehler Vick L OR SM DH-the-almost-CEO SB-the-almost-CEO-who-now-is-CEO-elsewhere.

SM is unable to answer a simple question. 3 times he was asked how many new logos were won in the quarter. His answers: A1 "Our strategy is resonatin in the industry" A2 "We are winnin in the marketplace" A3 He finally said in his openin remarks we... — read more 

That says it all, and because of Sarbanes Oxley the CEO will not spin that like he does everything else. 1% revenue growth in Q1 in a hot, fast-growing market? Snowflake is eating TDC alive. With a mediocre, lukewarm BOD and an ELT more focused on... — read more

You are not important. Only what I demand is important. Drop everything. Conform to my requests. Do not question. Thank you, the new management.

https://www.techrepublic.com/article/new-gartner-report-shows-massive-growth-database-market-fueled-cloud/ Good news, we made the list as #8. Bad news, we were #5 few years ago and slipping fast. No wonder why marketing doesn’t send this as... — read more 

The vote is open. It is a hard choice between HA, SM, and NC. But HA gets my top vote since R&D is so messed up and we have ZERO innovation. She has no engineering experience and no track record of innovation. Not sure how she even got the job so... — read more 

I just hope that the behavior of my manager in the last few days does not indicate that there will be layoffs soon. Does anyone have any insight?

Maybe he’ll buy us too? The price is a pocket change for him 😁

Should we go private like TWTR? Would Musk buy us too?

I keep seeing former coworkers from Teradata showing up on LinkedIn with the looking for work banner. It seems like there’s been a steady stream since January. Are they moving away from the mass RIFs and letting people go at a slow trickle? The... — read more 

I am not the type of person who can stay silent and not express his opinion on things that matter to me. I no longer want to work for a company where I have to be very careful about raising my concerns. How to raise a problem at work when... — read more 

It is not confidential anymore. TDC is finally looking for a replacement for HA. Apparently they want a proven engineering leader with an actual track record of delivering products and who understands technology. Don't feel sorry for her, she will... — read more 

Anyone else notice that its been very quiet last few days.. makes me wonder what's coming.. feels like something...

Kurtz is going to have a hard time selling this one to the analysts….

Couldn’t attend and see for myself. Are we selling? New logos? ARR growth?

It feels that the management has lost control over the top line, ARR. Brace yourselves…

Are 1/2 day Fridays coming back this summer? Has anyone heard anything?

When is NC getting his golden parachute? He’s only cost the company millions of $$$ and hasnt done a worthwhile thing with strategy. His time has come to say bye bye bye.

What do you think?

FQ is now at Snowflake. That tells you all you need to know. He was the smartest and most passionate cloud evangelist at TDC, but got tired of being ignored by HA for three years. She dismissed all his product concerns and blamed sales and... — read more 

Three hours looong. Isn’t it time to be done transforming?

This seems to be the prevalent rumor at this point, is there any truth to it?

Question for current employees who post here- Why post here rather than voice your frustrations at work? Are you worried that there will be negative backlash? Is the response different based on what leader you have? It is better for me, but maybe... — read more 

I don't use those words lightly. I've worked at nearly a dozen companies in the past 30 years and I can safely say that yes, Teradata is the worst employer I've ever had. The company doesn't respect us. Nobody here realizes they need us. Instead... — read more 

I am very sad that this company is sinking. When you first got your job here (I mean those who have been here for a few years), could you even believe at the time that TD would look this miserable today? And everything could have been so much... — read more 

I wish I arrived to TD just recently so that I wouldn't know how this used to be a very innovative company before everything went downhill. I'm a little nostalgic these days. They managed to nearly bring down a company that was once very promising. — read more 

Well last year Teradata dissolved their Customer Services Division. They did not sell it but fired everyone. Outsourced to IBM. On paper they will show better performance do to the costs savings. What else does Teradata have to ditch in order to... — read more 

Teradata - One can tell they are the primary analytical technology running in data centers for the last 25+ years. Their booth was well positioned, professional but it was clear they are in a defensive position. They stated to me "We are here in... — read more 

Apparently TD does not seem to understand its direct competitors nor how to monitor the way competitors to business. Still, is it hard to believe that leadership is neglecting competition? Although, nothing would surprise me anymore.
