Topics regarding layoffs at Teradata Corp.

HR is hopeless

CHRO is totally out of touch or doesn't care. The culture problem that she was to fix has gotten far worse. Maybe if she can get off the high pedestal and spend time with people it might help.

A clown show

The stock is down 50% in the last 12 months. CEO fired. No COO. Current CEO is a lame duck, No Chief Product Officer, CFO is clueless, someone the street does not trust. CTO is a relic. We all know what people think of the CMO. This is... — read more

The clock is ticking.....

The share price is now approaching a 5 year low. Don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what comes next. Especially when you look at the cash line on the financial report over the last few years.

Teradara Strategy is working

We hear all the times that the strategy is solid and is working. I can"t help but wonder, what this management would call a failed strategy. The bar is set really high: financials going down, sacking ppl, demotivated employees, fake, poor quality... — read more

WHAT!!!??? Back to Cloud story again.

Just less than a year I clearly heard VL stating that Cloud is dead horse for TD and now again board wants to convince investors that Cloud is TD future. Boy I am happy that sold TDC stock at peak.

VL stepping away?

How low can the stock go

Tdc stock is around $24 now. With the poor quarterly and annual results coming up, how low do you think tdc will sink to this year ? My guess is $17.

Why the suffering?

Please tell me that CT is not host again this year at GSX? I left the company last year thinking that once OR left that CT would be out the door quicker than a fat kid chasing an ice cream truck. Surely TD has wised up to the fact they are not... — read more

The experiment has left

RP exit stage door left. RP should have been treated as a data science project so we could have "failed fast". Unfortunately she stayed on too long and never delivered anything.

No cash bonus this year

Rumors are afloat that there is not going to be any cash bonus and minimal raises. They will give paltry stocks which will be meaningless as the stock loses value and vests over time. Jump ship now!!!

So, what's it going to be?

2019 is over. Will Teradata show improvement in Q4 2019 or will they bury that and look to 2020? CAN they actually improve with clueless management? When will the next set of layoffs start? I predict March 2020. I bet 2020 will see competitors... — read more

Schadenfreude

I feel a bit guilty, but Teradata management has brought all this on themselves. My advice to the actual workers (managers and below) is to get out soon.
