Thread regarding Teradata Corp. layoffs

Commoditization

What was once a unique and highly respected business has become a commodity.

A great product that still retains market leading benchmarks from all the analysts - commoditized by incompetent management messaging.

Highly intelligent and capable employees - commoditized and/or RIF’d.

Customers ? Also commoditized and treated purely as recurring revenue streams rather than partners that contribute to the development of the product (yep, still only one product) and the business.

I guess that’s what happens when you have a Grocer in charge...the lowest common denominator will always kick in.

Great summary, when you forget about employees, ignore customers, and have a manage up culture at the top, then if you are not one of the lucky ones at the top you are ignored. Tremendous business model if you are trying to k–l the company. So different from the great company that once was.
