What new logos? What about the ones we’re losing?
Confidential search for new CSO
Headhunters briefed and ready to pull the trigger on replacement due to failing strategy. Expect announcement imminently now Q4 numbers have been released.
Trolls, where are you Trolls?
Silent, thought so. Results speak louder than Trolls, oh I mean words.
It's all rigged
Even if you are the best choice you won't get the promotion. They will promote whoever they want from the long list of brown nosers who spend their days agreeing with everything management says and kissing their as--s. This joke of a system is... — read more
AIP Bonus
Now that the Board of Directors meeting has concluded has anyone heard what the AIP percentage will be?
The market is hot
Everyone keeps saying that and yet they are still here. Is it really that easy to find a better job now? I don't think so, because there are a huge number of people who are applying for every position. The market is hot and in theory you can find... — read more
What a disaster
A year ago, our EPS was $0.22. This year it's $0.10. I'm betting we don't even meet that on Monday.
SEMs get out before too late
There are news ( not rumors ) SEMs are next , all SEM work will be divided and moved to nearshore / offshore . They will remove most but not all. If you know a SEM , ask they to look for something better . The end is near . Possible layoffs in two... — read more
Productivity
The manager sets unrealistic goals and I barely get the minimum done. I don't know how you manage to stay focused on work, but I can't constantly worry about whether I will end up on the layoff list and do my best at the same time. I think... — read more
Everything works out in the end!
I know a lot of people who wouldn’t have left TD if they hadn’t gotten laid off. My colleague and a friend thought it was the end of the world after he got cut. However, if you asked him about it now, he would say it's the best thing that's ever... — read more
Severance package
Can we get more info on the severance package for the latest round? Somebody mentioned 6 months' pay and a full bonus, which to me sounds a bit too good to be true. Can anybody confirm this? Shouldn't it be dependent on time with the company? If... — read more
Don't expect to see an end to layoffs
I don't think it will ever be over. This is an on-going process. This quarter they targeted GTM and CSE's, next month they may target Operations, then CS. Consulting is always on their radar to shrink, they will squeeze that until SM will have to... — read more
They don't seem to care about the competition
I'm interested in what the competition is doing. I failed to get a job with one of the direct competitors, but soon I have an interview with another competing company. According to what some people who are there told me, it is not ideal there... — read more
This week's layoffs
Do we know exactly what happened? How many total people were affected? Are we certain it's done? I'm guessing it is since I haven't heard about any more people being notified today, but you can never know for sure. I wish the layoffs process was more... — read more
How to handle backstabbing colleague?
I guess this is not abnormal here at TD. If you have a colleague you have to work with every day, who licks manager’s a**, and keeps backstabbing you, what would you do to handle it professionally?
Upcoming Q4 results: bo-m or bust?
I am a bit confused. Stock price stands firmly above levels from some time ago, thus maybe SM is turning the tides and the growth is there. Layoffs maybe just a sign of putting cloud-optimized org in place and chopping the deadwood. However, I just... — read more
Culture comes from the top
Every time I see that bullying is allowed here, spreading gossips, backstabbing, appropriating someone else’s merits, etc., I remember that culture comes from the top. So I don’t believe it’s even possible to fix the atmosphere here without some... — read more
Wrong timing
Someone here said that the start of the fiscal year is the worst time for RIFs and that person is absolutely right. Couldn't TD at least have better timing, if they don't want/ have no way to save jobs already?
10 facts no one will tell you about Teradata
Nobody in the ELT is obsessed with the Teradata technology. Not getting RIF’d amounts to annual bonus and raise Stop using the word re:invent and re:transform every year Moving an existing Teradata account to the cloud does not amount to... — read more
Does anyone know the final count this round?
It seems smaller than the last 2 but are they done yet?
Always be prepared
Everyone knows that no one's job is safe. Then why are people waiting for rumors about layoffs to start preparing in case they are possibly targeted?
Working in a non collaborative environment
In progressive companies, collaboration is very important and teams are encouraged to work collaboratively. This is not the case here. TD has the least collaboration going on of any company I have worked at so far. What it has too much of is... — read more
Where's the news on layoffs coming from?
Is there any way to determine what else will be impacted?
Layoffs in EMEA next week
Pre sales will be impacted.
SKO 2022
Thoughts? Success or not
No bonuses?
Hearing rumors of no bonus payouts this year despite stock price increase. Mid year was strong but end of year, not as much.
How can ELT Members sell stock during blackout periods?
I am just wondering how TC was able to sell shares during the current blackout period when typically all limit orders are cancelled for the normal Teradata employees. Anyone with Management title is prohibited in trading stock during blackout... — read more
Stop whining
I hope the posts on this site are not indicative of the attitudes of TD folks in general, because frankly you all come across as a bunch of brittle misfits. If you are not happy here, move on. I've worked for two huge IT companies before landing here... — read more
A sad and depressing place to work
I know the workplace is commonly not supposed to be fun but TD is taking this to the opposite extreme. I swear working here is making me depressed. People are acting like they're serving a sentence in prison, and with all the bullying, yelling, and... — read more

Career path
I am just another person who is stuck at a job with no progression here. Is the only solution to abandon or consider a new approach?
Becoming a revolving door…
It’s the 4th manager in a span of 18 months and each comes with their own bible. Given that my job hasn’t changed, it feels like TD became just a bit too “agile”… haha
The Circus is back in town !!!
Failed to arrest churn Appeal to free cash-flow in arbitration Charges on revenue out with the judge Management suspected of DUI Mind the Gaap in Q4.
Moses has left
Best part of the DH announcement is he left the company. That means fired. Bye felicia
Is this site monitored?
I swear I saw a thread about EMEA RVP leaving but it’s gone now. Does someone from TD have moderation rights here?
More data - less opinions please
It seems that an adult from Teradata has been sent to this site in an attempt to provide a management view and opinion. Instead of POVs, perhaps they could comment on some real data such as the number of shares being (allocated to for free and then)... — read more
They're lying to you
Don't believe anybody who tells you you're safe. Your manager, HR, whoever else. Their only goal is to make sure you continue to give it your all (which means doing the work of two or three people) until the very last day. The moment they find... — read more
Get me out of here!
Time to crank up the job search and get out of here
Happy New Year Trolls
Oh, look, nobody gives a $h_t. Keep on trolling. Y'all are so entertaining.
Happy New Year!
I hope each and every one of you finds a new job with a better company that appreciates its employees and knows how to reward good work! Hopefully, by the time 2023 comes around, TD will be nothing but a distant memory for all of those who are... — read more
