I'll take my chances

I received a job offer and I am not particularly thrilled about it, considering that I have heard from the employees of that company that many of them are also facing uncertainty in that company. It’s a risk, but I like some of their projects that... — read more

This will not work

The ELT is determined to put profit above everything – including employees. They're trying to boost the numbers by laying off good people and creating such work environment that causes so many more to walk away. In the long run, this is bound to... — read more 

How big are your ambitions?

The conclusion that emerges is that there are not many ambitious people at Teradata who have set their goals, are ready to take risks with a new beginning in a new company, invest more in themselves and not wait to be laid off here. It seems to me... — read more

A contradiction between stock price and morale

I find it fascinating how this company’s stock price is soaring after the pre–announcement of results and on the same day this page garners multiple posts about how terrible the working environment is and how inept the executives are. This brings... — read more

Is your skillset irrelevant?

Just curious for those who are looking to get out of TD – is the skillset you’ve acquired within the company considered relevant or obsolete? I want to get out, but I also want to be sure that my skills are kept current and desirable. I want to... — read more 

Q1 2021 results are in.

That’s 4 successful quarters under the new CEO. Stock up to $53 overnight. It’s happening!

Energy draining things

The atmosphere at Teradata is such that I am less and less able to concentrate on my work and generally having a hard time finding motivation to work. I love my job, but that atmosphere drains all my energy and I’m just a lot less productive. What... — read more 

Just as I was wondering what the CEO may be up to...

With our CEO largely absent from the company–wide comms for some time, I was just wondering what he's up to. Turns out he's busy with diversity dialogues together with our uber strategist, the one who employs his former company to do his job. Do... — read more 

So hate this place...

I've been here 7 years. Now my skills are irrelevant in the wider market place. I thought I was making a good decision when I joined. But now am really struggling. It's so hard, each day I feel I am developing defunct technology skills and... — read more 

How relevant is your skillset in competing companies?

Maybe someone has a different experience, but I couldn’t believe how much the technology I was working with was outdated until I got a job at a new company. That's why I faced many problems right at the start of working in the new company, so my... — read more 

Why are we still having layoffs?

So many people have been laid off so far but their work has not disappear. It's been distributed to the rest of who are already having trouble getting everything done in time. I'd really like to know what this ELT thinks is an okay amount of work for... — read more 

Do you remember your first day here?

How much of your initial expectations were actually met from the time you started working at TD? It’s funny to me when I think of my first day here. I came in full of enthusiasm, ideas, the will to learn, very ambitious. I was overjoyed when I... — read more 

Talent Naivety

I worked at Teradata for more than 5 years (probably 4 years too many IMHO). The saddest thing I observed, and refused to be part of, was the lack of recognition of true talent and skills and being forced to let them to. You only need to... — read more 

Toxicity at its best

Anyone that worked or still works at Teradata knows it is toxicity at its best. Those of you that put the bs on here about how great it is at Teradata are just jealous that you have not found a way out. Everything posted about becoming stagnant at... — read more 

SSEs notified today of layoff

All SSEs told today the CS business model is not sustainable, and they need to start looking for a new job. IBM has replaced NCR and will assume all SSE work too. Bonus: SSEs get to train their replacements. Savage for even you DH. ... — read more 

Freedom...

I'm free... the feeling of liberation and excitement is unbelievable. If you have not already, grasp the nettle and get out NOW. There are many jobs out there and the longer you stay with TD the more your skills are diluted and the harder... — read more 

Doing the same but expecting different results?

Teradata is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. Does this company even want to make any progress? It seems to me more and more that my superiors are not interested because they are persistently trying to... — read more 

They don’t know how to get the best out of people?

When I first came here I was full of enthusiasm, I tried my best, and then one day from all the stress I experienced a real panic attack for the first time. The colleagues with whom I came to Teradata were great experts, but they moved to competing... — read more 

Is it really that bad?

I'm not an employee but someone looking to pick up a few shares of TDC stock and I came across this board. After reading a few dozen posts, it seems like Vantage is a poor product and the managers are all mo--ns. Granted, this is coming from a... — read more 

Manila said goodbye to everyon

Bad News: Majority will be taken in by a local "partner" company (around 70%) - Most are MS. The said company will be taking over the teams from MS and the clients they are in. The rest will be laid off. Good News? HUGE PAYDAY FOR EVERYONE!!... — read more 

No shame in it…

I am able to retire in just a few short years. After being here for so long and seeing all the negative changes occur I’ve basically reached my limit and decided to look for other means of employment - actually any means of employment outside of... — read more 

Layoffs at CSS

It is clear to me that they are imminent. Are there any new details?

Your biggest complaint?

Even if there was no threat of possible dismissals, I would make every effort to get out of here because I just feel like I wasted time here. Developing and growing talent wasn’t even an afterthought and that’s one of my biggest complaints to this... — read more 

Somehow, things are even worse

Everyone I talk too who is not retirement eligible or very close is looking. Those in the former category are praying they can keep their job until they can exit. The morale is only getting lower and the new account teams are worse than ever. I... — read more

Why are people not waiting for severance?

Why are people leaving when they could wait for severance? I've been looking around and sending out my resume just to get a feel for how things are right now, but I have no plans of leaving until they kick me out with a nice package. I have zero... — read more 

I'm curious

How many of you have contemplated quitting in the past several months? How many have been job shopping for longer than that? I think the number of people who fit into these two categories is at least half of the entire workforce - which should... — read more 

So many resignations

Anyone else notice how many resignations have occurred since bonus payouts in mid-March? Particularly in the female population. Not unexpected by many of us, but seems to be coming as a surprise to people at the top as they scramble to uncover the... — read more 

A race against time

I believe a lot of people had a strong feeling that their job was going to be cut, but they didn’t think it was going to happen as fast as it happened, as someone already mentioned. I have a colleague who kept saying that he had to find an... — read more

AIP issues

I've talked to several people who did not receive AIP payout because they left before the pay period in which it was paid out but worked all performance year. Nobody remembers signing an agreement stating that limitation, nor signing the policy. ... — read more 

Delayed annual increase?

Anyone know the real reason why the increase discussion is moved to mid-year? Isn’t there usually a small layoff around that time? Should we be prepared for another round of layoffs

More ELT and we get screwed
