Marketing is the least of TDC’s problems. HA successfully got SM to focus on Marketing while she delivered nothing. No CMO can help until we start building innovative new products. Congratulations Hillary!!!

But no surprise. It’s been coming. Let’s see if the new CMO is up to a task.

Most people here realize how stagnant their skills have become while working at TD, only when they leave this company. A friend and a former colleague who managed to get a much better job told me that he is now under tremendous pressure to upgrade... — read more 

clear candidates are: R&D (apparently there is one) GTM (no new logs + sitting ducks for retirement)

As our CEO ensured analysts, the pipeline is looking strong and Q4 is going to be crazy successful. Putting some more optimistic tone here: how do you plan to spend your bonus?

What are your thoughts about potential Teradata layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Millions on Strategy team, McKenzie and now hear that TD has hired another Consulting Firm (SBI) to set everyone's quota for next year....this is super crazy. On the other hand, there is more RIF's on the way even for Sales Orgn while every... — read more 

Here's what's missing here: good leadership talented employees employees with skills I’m afraid we don’t have the basics for this to be an innovative company, and without innovation there is no growth. I don't think anyone hopes that TD can... — read more 

I have never worked for a company before as TD that is so dependent on those Strategy Consulting guys. McK now and Bane before that. We are spending thousands of $$ every day. SM and NC are ex-McK. They are just draining money from us with some... — read more 

Who needs a deerly paid chief strategist when we can get our wisdom for free from TED talks? And since we're adopting leadership on the cheap, why do we even need a CEO in person when we could listen chapters from audio books by Jack Welch instead of... — read more 

How many more years are these two guys Stephen Brobst and Dan Harrington going to ride this gravy train? They have nothing new to add and have not been innovative for ages. CTO has no cue what the technology around him is. DH is stuck in the last... — read more 

JJ. CH. Seems like 2 or more a week at high levels. Turnover is to be expected, but wholesale hemorrhaging is a bit more painful.

I’m pretty sure I’m not going to survive this round and I’m trying to plan my kids Christmas. This time of year sucks because no one starts hiring people around the holidays.

Did you hear the woke cheerleader CEO refer to “salesmen” on the earnings call? Wow, what year are we living in? I wonder if KCC gets that cut out of the recording and transcript. Does that imply there is only one gender in that profession?... — read more 

Rookie CEO and newbie CFO combination is not good. First, only 1% revenue growth. Second, confusing answers on new logos. Third, incoherent answer to why full year estimate is down. On the job training because we can’t attract experienced leaders... — read more 

I don’t want to sound like a TD cheerleader (I too am leaving here soon because there are a lot of better places) however, it’s not true that TD is to blame for the stagnation of someone’s skills. I had a colleague, we started working at about the... — read more 

Forget poor quality, a cloud product that’s not elastic, no innovation, flat or declining revenue, and paucity of new customer wins - micro aggressions are our biggest issue. KCC to the rescue!!!!

Much easier for SM, KCC, HA, and NC to talk about social and woke issues like racism, gender, white privilege, se-ual orientation, climate change, …than why we are not winning any new customers or growing revenue. Diversity is actually a diversion... — read more 

I will give notice soon because there is no point in being frustrated working for a pay that I can earn in another company without so much unnecessary stress. Management never seemed more clueless. I wish I wasn’t right but today I have definitely... — read more 

What is the role of the CEO and ELT? To run the business or change our society? I’m not talking about addressing harassment and discrimination. Surely that needs to be done. But a lot of the recent diversity focus is beyond their scope and is... — read more 

They have to go. I have nothing else to say.

I agree that a little pressure can sometimes positively affect productivity, in the sense that it can reduce procrastination or improve mental focus. However, what we have at TD are not shorter deadlines, but unrealistic deadlines that are very... — read more 

I'm sure that some of the people who're complaining about their managers have legitimate reasons for that, but a good part is simply lazy and trying to find an excuse for themselves. I've been present when people were simply asked to do something... — read more

Does anyone know if there will be layoffs in r&d this year?

People I know went to any company where they could get at least a little better offer. I had a discussion with a colleague about where most TD employees went, in which companies, so I'm interested in what you think?

Not: lets remind terada what is diversity.. the practice or quality of including or involving people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, se-ual orientations, etc. TD leadership, please take a look in a... — read more 

and competitors are? I am leaving this company soon, but I am sorry for the young people who will come here to work in a company where innovation is no longer a priority. It is enough to compare TD and other competing companies and it will be clear... — read more 

Has anyone heard anything or have a guess?

Awoke thinking about these infantile rants from current employees which infuriate me and have turned me into an ar-e in my posts. I won't continue exhibiting the same behaviour, but will recognise errant ideas or comments. Logic would assert... — read more 

However, I wonder if this company has always been like this, in the sense that the attitude towards employees has always been this bad?

Things have doubtlessly changed for the worse in the last decade or so but the same is the case for 99 percent of other companies. Everything around you is changing - most often for the worse - so I don't understand why people act shocked that TD is... — read more 

looks like r&d brought back TW and DS says he is bringing others back from retirement. think he is getting a referral bonus?

There is more and more talk about cuts. I need the job desperately, but I’m so outraged at this company that I won’t be much disappointed at all if they tell me they don’t need me anymore. It is RIF that sometimes helps people to work harder and find... — read more
