hello guys, i'm a relatively new TD member (less than 1.5 years) and have not seen any growth in my role. although that being said, i am very comfortable in my role, going through the motions daily, and i have a terrific team that gets me through the... — read more 

A start-up just a few years ago will pass 40+ year old Teradata in their own core market. Sad but true. Snowflake is projecting $2 billion next year while Teradata is just treading water. A case study on mismanagement, complacency, and lack of... — read more 

I can't express how i am feeling today. I attended a few meetings earlier and found out that some key folks had resigned. These people are some of the best @ Teradata and their departure sends a message to the ELT and HR that all is not well here. It... — read more 

TD is a relatively good place for those who plan to linger around just a bit until they gain some experience. Those who stay longer eventually realize they’ve wasted their time. It is impossible to plan a career in a company where you cannot even... — read more 

Having those automatically ki--s any chances of advancing a career here.

Now that bonuses have been paid out, I have heard from many who gave their notice on Monday. Some are being offered all sorts of retention options except these are the same folks who were under valued, under promoted and generally maligned by their... — read more 

With all the hoo harr'ing by HR that returning to offices is the employee's choice, it seems some in management didn't get the memo with one country now forcing employee's back to the office regardless if they are vaccinated or not which is illegal... — read more 

I have to give it to this management, they've certainly managed to do one thing. They created such a toxic and political environment that pushes some of the employees to trip others up to help themselves. Not to mention, we also now have territorial... — read more 

There are so many better options in this industry, that there is no need for anyone to spend any more of their time here. I have never worked in a more depressing environment.

Generally speaking, there are thousand reasons to lose motivation here, and zero to regain it. I’ve been losing motivation on a daily basis because I have to deal with a micromanager, but I know there are many bigger reasons why people hate having... — read more 

I'm so exhausted. Given how much I’m overwhelmed, I think I should be paid much more. I believe the competition pays more and I don’t believe they can overwhelm their employees much more than TD does? Perhaps someone has experience from competing... — read more 

You are surrounded by some of the worst managers who have taken a good practice and destroyed it, causing the best resources to flee and the remainder to lose all motivation. As you look at your new organization, look for people that will motivate... — read more 

I was laid off last month but was told I was still eligible for bonus for 2021. I don’t know what to expect or when to expect it and I really don’t feel like reaching out to my former manager. Does anyone in the US have any insight? I worked insane... — read more 

I came here to learn new things but the reality is different. TD is not exactly the learning culture I thought it was. Perhaps the experiences of others are different and you are learning a lot more at your current job here?

https://www.thediff.co/p/when-ibm-was-the-center-of-gravity Very good article on another legacy solutions provider.

Bonuses have paid out. Who is resigning today or Monday?

A few others I have heard about that have been RIF'd this year are also over 50. Did any of you get advised of the Decisional Unit and get a list of those who had been separated and their ages? I wonder if TD is staggering their layoffs, so they can... — read more 

If you are currently employed at Teradata, time is on your side, but it's ticking fast. You have the ability to take control of your life and make the change. Change is never easy, but change will challenge you. It may bring you additional stress... — read more 

I'm so tired of TD's toxic culture, of being overworked because I work in an under-resourced team, and having to deal with constant changes in strategy and priorities. Weak leadership has all but destroyed the company and is forcing us to deal with... — read more 

External companies now informed that TD is refusing to pay earned commissions to sales team from 2021 business. Coming up with excuses but no explanations and erasing internal presentations that committed cloud bonus. People getting 1/4 of earned... — read more 

TD is not making money. Consolidating and reorganizing is not making money. Without good margins, the future is grim if there at all. This is not good. A successful company is expanding and hiring additional staff. That is not happening here at... — read more 

Or People Org or whatever they are calling it. Rebranding your terrible org does not make it better. It makes it another waste of my time having to read another email and go to a new place to find no real help. NOBODY has time for a 3-hour virtual... — read more 

Seems like there yet another reorg. If there is, are they offering an exit package?

I don't understand folks who are not looking to switch companies. We're not paid enough, we have to go through too many organizational changes, and we are constantly stressed due to too many layoffs. Nobody is safe, but especially those who've been... — read more 

I’m done. Can’t take the daily abuse any longer. Overworked and underpaid.

How many of you would accept voluntary separation if it was offered?

How's the newish CIO doing? I had an offer to go work for her, but not sure.

I wonder what the impact of US sanctions against Russia will be for Teradata. Sberbank at least is a massive customer. There are also VTB and retailers.

The best week of my life in the last four years when “The call” happened with the biggest fake @$$h0/= I have ever met in my career here. Couldn’t get the equipment out of my virtual office fast enough, delete any and all files that were no longer... — read more 

What departments had RIFs? ----- I'm referring to another thread below. I guess those must've been some minuscule RIFs considering there are no more details !?

Is a cl@$$ action l@wsuit a possibility? I heard management sent down the wire to recruit and retain young, malleable college kids …let middle age leave or find a way to RIF them. Any truth? How many over 5@ got riffed.

People have been RIFed this morning

I don't know anyone who's here just because they want to be here. Most people I know are still here because they haven't been able to find something else. Perhaps only those in higher positions are comfortable enough so they don't have to think... — read more 

I joined eight months ago. I'm going to make sure I don't see my first anniversary here. This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for when it comes to the work environment and company culture. If they paid better I might consider staying... — read more 

What do you think about marketing all hands today and J direction?

Do you share the opinion that consulting is being left to die? Sales are only focused on migration projects to achieve your ARR goals. There is no attempt to sell consulting projects for us to do internally. They just want to place one or two... — read more 

I've been convinced numerous times that the general rule at TD is that those who have vast knowledge and skills will not be here for very long because they intimidate their less knowledgeable managers. It is never a good idea to show yourself to... — read more 

As I am listening the recording of the All Hands, I am losing the will to live. If you replaced Teradata with Acme Inc, the platitudes would be equally applicable. There isn't a single intrinsic assertion or utterance or value proposition to single... — read more 

There are people here who are very unhappy in this company but are not looking for a new job. That's really weird. They spend time trying harder and harder (as if the situation at TD will change for the better), but they do not invest even half an... — read more 

To be honest, I am a little surprised since our results were so good. I guess we should now prepare for 1% merit increases.
