The company has been bending over backwards to prove to everybody that it is not racist and that everyone is welcome. Unfortunately, they have not been bending over backwards to be great. Focus on being great and the diversity will happen... — read more 

Haven’t heard of layoffs in marketing yet, does anyone have insight to their headcount loss?

Subject line says it all! If you haven't already gotten off the sinking ship please say hello to Davy Jones for me!

Are we sure this is done?

Seeing fairly large spikes in traffic today on our Teradata Layoffs Discussion Board - see the discussion at https://thelayoff.com/teradata

One of the worse severance packages in the industry. They should be embarrassed in offering such a bad package to highly trained educated engineering.

I'm so f—ing tired of reorganizations that only end in layoffs with no proper strategy for the future. Cutting people provides a short term bump in profits but it also gives the company long term losses that can't even be quantified. Stop treating... — read more 

As somebody asked in another post, have people who are affect already received their notifications? Or will this drag out throughout the day? When will we know if we're safe or not?

It’s finally going to be over with. Official email went out indicating it is happening today.

Key meetings being moved out of next week. Managers scurrying to get people to move forward task completions ahead of next week. Friends being protected and silently moved into safer roles. Yes. It’s happening. Bumping to top from @1cxd+17yaQetr... — read more 

it is hard to please everyone, whoever it is that sits in the CEO post will always get a negative response from everyone. do you ever think that if SB was given the CEO post instead of SM, SB will not receive any negative feedback from anybody? .. — read more 

I don't get it. We've had a visionary CEO lacking the leadership to make-follow. Before and after, we had a caretaker who did have the leadership and gravitas, but did not give a noticeable steer. Now we get one with a strong operational focus... — read more 

One interesting comment from SB when asked what he liked the most in TD - he interestingly singled out the people and the sort of mid-western values. Given the wokeness taking over right from the top... and the other remark that he enjoys sitting in... — read more 

I‘be got a feeling... not that I’m not busy (I’m actively engaged on 2 projects on top of my full time job), but suddenly found myself in the middle of flurry of activity generated by 3 VP’s (who I normally support), all coming this week and asking... — read more 

There is still no confirmed information. Could it be possible that there is no layoff at all?

in SM's nearly first address to the company he just casually threw out "oh yea and we are going to be doing layoffs." Then it was nothing for weeks, and the next discussion was "oh we are offering early retirement", then zero freaking... — read more 

This will all be over soon. October has seven work days left. Be healthy. Take care of yourself. I wish you the best luck in the world.

Someone in this forum claimed the layoff date was announced as next Monday. I haven’t heard any announcement like that, but maybe other regions have some sort of requirement for them to say? Can anyone else confirm that date or have different... — read more 

Whilst the theory was great, it seems that the reality is not. Is ARR actually guaranteed to recur ? No. Did the company’s value go up - as expected and forecasted at multiples never seen before ? No. Did overall revenue go down, quarter on... — read more 

So, with revenue exceeding August guidance and shares going up, does that mean we might see fewer layoffs in the near future? Or (more likely) will they proceed as previously determined? I'd just like to believe that this could make some... — read more 

News this morning that Scott Brown has resigned. He was the only reason I decided to stick around

I notice a few TD jobs in software development posted online but they're in Mexico. I've seen some position in RB, but I think they're for QA/Testing. Back in late 2019 and early 2020, I know that TD opened a small office in Tijuana, and there were... — read more 

Either the LT is extremely good at guarding information or they have absolutely no plan that could be leaked.

3 years in a row!

this is getting exciting! the all hands meeting is full of positive plans for the company! Forgo the ongoing RIFs/Retirement/Grudges/all negative topics.. let's focus forward... I know there will be a lot of 'trolls' here, so just wanted to let... — read more 

Fire the entire top management in Teradata first. Once you have done that may be we can hire some good people who know what they are doing to help Teradata. I couldn't agree more! This leadership has proven to be completely incapable of running... — read more 

Teradata has wasted opportunities, allowed incompetent management to remain for years, punished good workers who don't "blend in", and continued to hire incompetents in the ELT and Board. So, I guess they are reaping the "rewards" of years of... — read more 

End of October? Whats wrong with SM? Three months of waiting is unacceptable

Someone should live stream this company meeting to do a watch party what a sh– show.

In order to get some clarity if we can post here the department or team when some one is unfortunately layedoff it will help calm some nerves.

As an ex- Employee who was cut on some BS ground, I will all of Teradata guys well, especially the older employees.

I thought there'd be no cuts before the end of the week, what did I miss?

Congrats to all of my fellow colleagues who got cut today. I did as well (US based) and I am so happy. TD is never coming back. It isn't about the tech, it is about what customers are buying. If they thought TD was a better solution than other... — read more 

So, it’s Monday morning in India now. Any unexpected meeting invites going around so far?

3 years in a row makes it an annual event. Downward spiral.

Teradata was a great product and it is now ruined by mismanagement. As a laid off employee, I pledge to actively recommend the decommissioning of Teradata systems at my next and all subsequent places of work and to actively convince my professional... — read more
