I’m not interested in discussing hiring practices here, but I’ve noticed that TD obviously has a lot of problems with hiring. Someone told me that there are cases when the company is officially hiring and has advertised open positions for some... — read more
Were there any December layoffs?
There were many threads over the past couple of months about layoffs in December ... did any layoffs (of any size/consequence) actually happen? Even if under-the-radar?
Why hire managers from outside?
There are lots of things that don't make sense here, we can list them for days. Can anyone explain to me why Teradata prefers to hire managers from outside? Isn't it better for this company to promote managers from within?
Merry Christmas!
Make it your goal to get out of here in 2022.
Outdated skills
I have a friend who is currently facing this problem, he can't find a better job because his skills are outdated. Has it happened to anyone else that looking for a new job revealed how much your skills have actually atrophied here? Obviously most... — read more
The worst thing about working here
I'm not sure what's the worst thing about working at TD lately. Is it the terrible leadership, insulting pay, or the complete lack of appreciation? Maybe it's the awful communication, lack of career advancement, or no accountability, especially when... — read more
What's wrong with them?
I am not a person who thinks too highly of himself, of course there are many better employees, but it is not normal to expect that something that is difficult to finish in a few days will be done in a few hours. What does Teradata want? People to... — read more
Don’t try to think differently here
Yesterday we had a situation that made me remember my former colleague and friend, who was one of the most talented experts at his job that I know. At TD, he was giving lots of headaches to his superiors. He always came full of energy, with new... — read more
KCC need to go .. tired of bullying
This lady needs to go , tired of bullying and not standing up to the team . Recently fired an employee who filed ethical compliance issue against their boss . She was directly involved in making the decision. Zero contributor to Teradata & it’s... — read more
Gardner rating
How much does it cost for Teradata to get a good rating from Gardner?
I want to work for a company that appreciates its employees
It bugs me to know that there are companies out there that will do anything to keep their best employees because they know the value they bring to the table, while our management can't wait to get rid of all the most knowledgeable and experienced... — read more
Who else has trouble finding a new job?
Now I’m mad at myself for staying here too long... I’m doing everything in my power to find a new better job, but I’ve been stuck here for months now... I only got one offer which I had to turn down after learning some more details about that company... — read more
Management has no vision nor strategy for growth
We're stuck with people who consider status quo a success.
New CMO Falls Flat with team
Wow, what a horrible introduction. The female version of NC. Has no context but has an opinion on how bad we suck. Treats the team like id--ts out of the gate. This should be fun.
I gave notice out of spite
I was relatively comfortable here. Although there were stressful situations, I was never overwhelmed with so much work that I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, I was satisfied with how much I was paid, etc. What made me quit was the leadership... — read more
GTM and Social Presence
Bit of a kick in the teeth for TD, when some of their more socially connected individuals go elsewhere and extoll the benefits of real business outcomes. MC/JJ/KH
He has to go.
My Xmas wish is for DH to be gone.
NC May Be Out…
Rumor is that SM will take him out by the end of the year. The Strategy team has zero respect and NC has poisoned many relationships. If not for woke concerns he would already be gone. Yet another disaster ELT fiasco.
TD is going towards the rock bottom
How far are we from the rock bottom? I think that TD is not far at all and that it is very important not to get our hopes up too much that anything will change, but to look for better opportunities.
“New Strategy” Impact?
NC has been here more than a year now. He’s paid tens of millions to McKinsey buddies, and even hired a few at hefty salaries. Can anyone articulate any value we’ve seen from his “new strategy?” If so, please respond.
Market Cap - SNOW $108B vs TDC $4.5B
Snowflake built their business right in front of Teradata in their core market. How did this happen? Talk about being asleep at the wheel. And now TDC can’t even build a second place cloud product after Snowflake showed them what to build. This will... — read more
This hasn't been an innovative company for a long time
I’d love to work for an innovative company, but TD is certainly not that. There has been no innovation here for a long time. I wonder what miracle needs to happen for TD to become an innovative place again? Maybe it's better to forget that because... — read more
New CMO from IBM, Oracle, General Electric, and a PE firm
Wow - with this impressive list of modern companies she will turn around our legacy image in no time. The website she built last for a failing company taken over by private equity says “started in 1923, but built for today.” She will fit right in at... — read more
M.e. RIP - You Did Good as CMO
Enjoy your time off knowing you did as good a job as any CMO could do at Teradata. You put lots of lipstick on the pig. Even renamed her and put a dress on her. But customers can still smell her and that gives it away. If HA could turn the pig into a... — read more
Approaching mid December
There was a post 1-2 months ago regarding potential layoffs by mid December. Anyone head anything?
Rare TDC’s CEOs last 10 years
This exercise will show you the main issue with the company. Unfortunately it will also depress you. I’ve lived through all these and it’s been torture. Scale of 1-10. MK (3) VL (2), OR (3), VL (2) SM (5). The BOB failed us since their main job is to... — read more
Is management allergic to new ideas or what?
Whenever new employee comes in, talented, enthusiastic, with a lot of desire to work, either he very quickly leaves this company or TD finds a way to get rid of him. From all this we can deduce that the management is actually allergic to new... — read more
“Barnes and Noble of Data Warehousing”
The perfect tagline for TDC. The new CMO can save money on a branding study. A close second is “TDC, More expensive than you think!” Or “Vantage, the industry’s only non-elastic, hard-to-provision cloud 😉”
TD on resume
I am trying to find a new job but honestly, I am a bit ashamed to have so many years of experience in TD on my resume. Is there any value in having TD on resume when looking for a new job? Or just the opposite? That would not surprise me either... — read more
WOKE Posts Keep Disappearing. Why?
Posts questioning all the diversity training we are forced to take are being taken down on this site. Why? None are disrespectful to any groups. Just wondering why there is such an imbalance compared to company strategy and product training. The CEO... — read more
Snowflake stock soars on strong revenue and Q4 guidance
Wake up TDC, results matter! No innovation, poor leadership, rookie CEO and CFO, even worse execution. Awful Q3, lowering guidance for the year and 2022 projected to be flat. Unacceptable. All the time the product teams continue to deflect, blaming... — read more
M.e.'s Resume
Made bad decisions.... confidently.... daily Let great employees go Had no idea what Teradata did Was not respected by management, peers, or employees
Kaiser HMO vs Cigna PPO
I got Kaiser, but thinking about changing to Cigna. Cigna seems more expensive, but at least HSA is easier since it's supported by Teradata. Anyone have feedback on Cigna costs, ease of use, etc?
TDC Transition to IBM - Has it Started Going Well Yet?
Just curious, the transition to IBM doing the premises support, has that finally started getting settled down? Has the GSO organization been able to hire and train enough individuals to provide walkthroughs/live phone support for all the various... — read more
Is TD a reputational damage? May it become one in the future?
I admit, stayed few years as work life balance is amazing. But now feel the pressure and want out. Wondering if TD is becoming a drag on our Curriculum or this is just internal depression and to the external world we are still a solid brand?
Endangered at TDC - White, Male, Over 40
Not a great time to be white, male, and over 40 at TDC. Especially if you are straight and conservative. KCC has you on her list. GTFO
What would motivate you?
Morale has never been lower, people lack motivation and that is very obvious. Yesterday another colleague of mine resigned. I don't even know what would motivate me now. Pay raise? Perhaps, but for a short time. Is there anything that would motivate... — read more
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out Marty…
https://apple.news/AxT8kSW7eStSoOyn6bZHBHw Hallelujah! A diversity hire! I wonder if she knows anything about marketing?
Classless How ME got fired, NC and HA leaked it a month ago
TDC can’t even fire someone the right way. ELT peers leaking a confidential search on this site a month ago is shameful. ME did all he could do in a cr---y legacy company. HA and NC will get theirs soon. #shameful
