All those reorgs

Reorg after reorg after reorg... Constantly some tumultuous, painful processes that do not bring any significant results. Were all these reorganizations a great way to unlock the value? Unfortunately, it seems to me that they are not. Instead of... — read more 

Do you have a "just in case" plan?

Even if you consider yourself safe, you should have a "just in case" plan ready for possible future layoffs. A coworker who was certain he had nothing to worry about was laid off a few months ago. To say he was unprepared would be an understatement... — read more 

Where Is The Diversity at Teradata?

We keep getting trained on diversity and the meaning of privilege. But Teradata keeps hiring only white people on the ELT? Another announced today. But they all signed a pact to help end racism! Does this mean these highly compensated white... — read more 

MC out - any special meaning?

Wondering if it's a retirement or departure without any special connotation or cause or is there something more behind? As in, welcome to the age of speculative capital, on the road to being sold for parts? Would love to be proven wrong...

Can't attract someone better or ....?

Why can't Teradata attract an experienced CEO with industry experience. I think this question that someone asked is very interesting. I would not like the discussion to go in the direction of criticizing the current or previous leading people... — read more 

A company for managers

Too many managers, too few leaders, less and less workers. It's Teradata. Too many bosses spoil the broth. I believe this would be a much better company if there were fewer of them. Do we have to have that many? What do you think, how many of those... — read more

Where is the potential?

Many people think that TD leadership has no long term vision for this company. That is quite obvious. What do you think that long-term vision should be? In which direction should TD go in the long run, that is, where does the greatest potential for... — read more 

Can TD be fixed?

I enjoyed working here a few years ago, but without any exaggeration I think the future is doom and gloom. Some believe that with a little vision and a good strategy, the company could get back on track, but I still think that's wishful thinking... — read more 

No good mentor?

Unfortunately, the man I had a lot to learn from was cut, and I always wanted to have a good mentor. Now there is no one I could learn from here anymore because the company seems to have decided to get rid of such people. Sad. They are not even... — read more 

GSX 2021

Will the GSX be held in Vancouver in 2022?

No Innovation or Vision - So Sad

A once great company is in decline. A long list of visionless CEOs and an apathetic BOD. Poor Engineering management. What has HA delivered? One database release in 3 years with no innovative features. Just NOS that is mediocre and catch-up. But hey... — read more 

Stay away from TD if you can

I'm very serious, if you can find a job anywhere else do it. This is the kind of place you go to if you want to see your career die. If you are good at what you do, everybody will see you as a threat and any chance of moving up will be removed... — read more 

Done

Who else at TD works insane hours, is constantly worried about the next RIF and just can’t anymore? I’ve been interviewing but no offers. I suspect the stress from my current role comes through in my voice and face. There are days I’m bordering on... — read more 

Name one reason...

why you would advise everyone to leave Teradata as soon as possible?

Another Monday Another Reorg Rumor

Hearing rumors that sales is about to have another reorg, anyone hear anything? New people always have new ideas that are fixed by shuffling the deck chairs.

Now is too late?

TD became irrelevant in a very short period of time. 16.0 was a disaster. Vantage was renamed parts. Leadership has failed, because they focused on hiding issues and laying talent of off Rather than solve problems. Now, it’s too late. Game... — read more 

How much have you stagnated while at TD?

I have been trying to find a new job for almost five months. Having worked in this company for a long time, I have a lot of experience and I thought that I have gained enough skills here to go further. However, now I see that working here I have... — read more 

Failing to innovate?

Someone described it very well - Teradata is allergic to innovations. Why are there no more quality innovations? Where has the innovation gone? What is the problem? I understand that innovation is risky and that it’s hard, but c’mon, it’s high... — read more 

Hard to take time off?

Does anyone else have trouble taking time off because they have too much to do? I’d love to take time off but unfortunately, I don’t know how feasible it is because I have a ton of work to do. I hate this company, and the fact that I am still here... — read more 

Eyes wide open

For over 8 years I’ve tried to be an exemplary employee - hoping to get rewarded for all the hard work and extra hours I’d put in. I realized I was being such an id--t when my manager told me my reward should be in a job well done. Seriously? Who... — read more 

Documenting everything is (almost) useless?

We always hear roughly the same advice which is for employees to document everything at work because it can be very useful in certain situations, for many reasons. I’ve always made sure I have a good record of everything, but lately I’ve been hearing... — read more

How would you cope in marketing?

I absolutely agree with the poster who said that the mass exodus from marketing is to be expected, since marketing has to have something to market, and there is no such product. I'm not in marketing, but I already know that it would be very difficult... — read more

Any effort to improve something is sabotaged?

But the issue I have with Teradata, and more specifically my boss, is that any effort I make to integrate something new and current into my day job is blocked and I get reprimanded for even trying. >I was told that if I want to work on something... — read more
