Did I hear that right? SM starts with "Beware & buckle up"... not a great positive way to start!!

Now under $30. Wow, how can any company that is a self-described “analytics leader” perform so poorly in a hot growth market? Bain and McKinsey should give us a refund. Executive bonuses should be revenue based. All they do is RIF people to reduce... — read more 

I’ve been trying for months now, and the job market hasn’t been kind to me. There are options, if push comes to shove, but not many actually good ones. At the same time I just can’t convince myself into staying with TD. We have been in decline for so... — read more 

Don't buy the spin - this company has hit a hard ceiling and will probably never break $2B in annual revenue again. Hard to believe that over 40 years in a high growth segment of the industry and differentiated software for many years that it is in... — read more 

Hillary is leaving the ship, as announced in the earnings call.

Anyone would care to chime in with a prediction about potential Teradata layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

When will severance be paid? Returned my equipment, signed the letter. What else?

If you remain at TD, describe the morale now. Is it positive and if not, why not? What/who needs to change?

Will TDC continue the trend on the next earnings call? Any insight? I know SM will soon “cloud ARR” growth, but I’m asking total revenue growth.

Teradata finally has a CTO that is not a contractor. However the named was promoted to the role and does not actually have CTO experience. What do we think of this... — read more 

TD might be laser-focused on cutting costs by replacing older workers with younger, cheaper talent, but they’re missing a huge point. The new hires are all about strict job descriptions and protecting their personal time at all cost. Not to mention... — read more 

In current circumstances this information sounds most probably irrelevant. Those poor sods who are on AIP bonus should expect it to be cut to about 20% at best. There is some good news too... CB and her pals will keep their RSU's and will happily... — read more 

Today we chase whatever trend is driving the news cycle. We are not chasing the customer’s needs. We are no their trusted partner/friend. We have no Sales/Marketing team embedded with customers or prospects. No one working with a customer/prospect... — read more 

I don’t even know how many rounds of layoffs I already survived. Chaos always follows, and the never ending adjustment of crippled teams. I’ve had enough. I’m not taking on the workload. Not my problem. I’ll just be collecting my paycheck from now... — read more 

When the next quarterly numbers are released and they are flat/down, what believable explanation can the ELT offer? What can they possibly point to in terms of net-new logos, increased revenues, or new business opportunities? After their latest round... — read more 

Why doesn’t anyone talk about corporate age? Why is the entire leadership team including directors and managers all in their 40s and 50s when, in the same breath, they say “We’re going to hire younger talent with new ideas.” These managers... — read more 

What teams were impacted during this round of layoffs? I wonder if they targeted seniors and high-payers to cut down on the costs.

For those lucky ones to survive yet another layoff it is back to work, if for nothing more than a paycheck. The ship remains rudderless but we keep rowing.

Your executive team's strategy is to cut and layoff and to buy back shares. this is a death spiral. where's the promised growth from this seasoned CEO that was hired?

Give me a chance to volunteer. I want out. There are more who feel the same way I do. Why not take advantage of that?

I’m torn between needing the job and wishing to be laid off. It’s clear that TD is going nowhere, so there is no point in staying, really. But I need at least a few more months of job search in order to find a replacement that’s decent. Most jobs... — read more 

Partner Managers shown the door yesterday. There goes any hope of working with partners in the future. It was already tough trying to convince the SI's to go with an old antiquated legacy technology versus snowflake or databricks. Shows that Teradata... — read more 

They were saying up to 10%. Did they lie about that to?

First day waking up unemployed. Feels awkward but liberating. What next? Have no idea but it’s going to be better than the status quo.

In one of the rif calls today we heard them say "consider your separation from teradata as not the end but a beginning of something big" They're not wrong! Anything would be better than hanging around the Kodak of the database world. It will be... — read more 

I was one of the lucky few to be impacted. Couldn’t have asked for a better separation package. Ask me any question!

We lost two on my team today. US based associates. Myself and one other. Over 25 years with Teradata. Email account will be shut off today at 5PM. Twelve weeks salary and health benefits continuation . Not the best day of my career, but now... — read more 

Midst all the layoffs, is Marketing affected by loss of any staff? Is CT still there?

I feel like all I do is spin the wheel and wait to be laid off. Everyone around me is anxious, on the edge, in a bad mood. TD does nothing, unintentionally or by design, to motivate us or to make us at least somewhat identify with the company. When... — read more 

Any insights into the reorg?

And to the rest of us waiting for the other shoe to drop this week. I’ve been preparing for a while now for the possibility that I’ll be laid off, and I have some other options lined up. Tentative but still. I will probably leave on my own if I’m not... — read more 

If you have been notified, is it: Effective immediately? What’s the severance? Will they prorate RSUs? Was your manager on the call? Did you lose access immediately?

I am seeing notifications start tomorrow morning and go throughout the week. Is everyone else seeing the same?

Something tells me that my luck is about to run out. My age and my pay put me in the high-risk group for what's coming. It's sad that instead of your chances of being laid off dropping as you gain more knowledge and experience, the opposite is... — read more 

As the IT guy in Jurassic Park said….hold on to your butts.
