Has anyone heard of any solid intel on potential buyers? No general speculation but legit talks...

Aside from exec salaries these guys are our biggest expense/burden. They run expense accounts. Why do they need to travel from coast to coast for a short 1 hour meeting that has no outcome. Reviewing GL and working on year end activities... — read more 

Thoughts?

This is a repost, it was on one of the theads, listed as a reply: Here is a theory on selling TD. The CEO to be has left, perhaps he didn't want to sell the business, perhaps he was too aggressive, we will probably never know and is replaced by an... — read more 

RIFs started yesterday in Dayton, not just for admin people. I'm in Finance and was given a termination date in January 2016

I am working with the Teradata RDMS since 20 years , one year employed with Teradata, most of the time working on a contract for different clients. I only can talk about the situation in Europe: We have a high price pressure on rates, leading to a... — read more 

Seriously....if anyone of any importance happens to click through to this site (no offense to the rest of us rank and file that have been lighting up this forum), why in the world would you wait until Q2 to sell the remainder of Teradata (assuming... — read more 

Trigger pull was delayed by Bob Fair so he could assess the impact given his new COO title/responsibilities. Too bad Hermann was let go. He had the aggressive strategy to turn things around. I guess too aggressive for the "NCR culture" Board of... — read more 

Whats going to happen on 12/11?

Good luck to everyone!!!

Conference room 1A has HR in it all day, and they have already called a few people down to give them notice.

This is hopefully not just a rant but a reasoned view. I have been in and out of Teradata for almost 15 years finally leaving some time back. This is what i see is wrong , in no particular order. You can't tell someone they're doing it wrong if what... — read more 

Revenues are flat/declining and the market cap is half of what it was 3-4 years ago. How does Koehler still have a job?

Hermann got let go today. After Rocky this is the next big one. Koehler has stepped in but his days are numbered too.

Teradata is still top heavy. Some consulting partners were axed today. I heard more to come and managing partners have to watch out as well. Good luck

How likely is this?

The innovation starts and ends with the products, the senior and old management are incapable to turn this around or to develop a GTM model which allows us to compete, legacy company with legacy management - sad to say but a takeover is desperately... — read more 

Heard there will be layoffs in Asia sites on December?

The terminal disease is pollution by the NCR culture, where internal turf wars trump delivering products customers need. Teradata has been in a death spiral since the forced union with NCR. The spin off didn't purge any of the poisonous NCR culture... — read more 

TDC will be reducing as well. But I am sure the leaders will be well taken care, in case you had any concern.

What is the likelihood of Teradata layoffs in Dayton in 2016? Please let me know if you have any information.

Do you know What the severance is

Rumors of RIF is still going around. I fear that I am next to be canned. I am exploring other job opportunities but these things take time. I hope I can jump ship with a life raft before I am push over with one. Sad to see this company go down.

September layoffs like August, under the number that requires reporting to SEC. Package offer is 1 week severance per year, subsidized COBRA, but I heard that some people negotiated the package. Don't know how much success they had.

V.P. in engineering got the axe. Will probably reduce the hardware group down to zero since they want to go cloud base and services. I know people who ask to be part of the next RIF after the last one and they were refused. Probably means they... — read more 

Does anyone have info on potential reorg and layoffs that might be happening later in Q3 2015 at Teradata? I heard conflicting stories, some of my friends still work there, I left in 2011 but still keep track of what's happening with this once great... — read more
