Thread regarding Teradata Corp. layoffs

Lets document the fall of TD, a great brand that it once was

Whoever is alive after 4th successful year of transformation, please share Visionary CEO Tesla videos, all VL town halls and vodka tonic statements from ex-CRO. WeWork had foundering podcast, we earned ours too.

"SB came off as super polished (IMO) and I don’t recall any inappropriate booze references" - I agree, but there's a possible explanation for some of those assertions: there was a non issue which was blown out of proportion. During an all hands he made a rather innocent joke on HA which included a reference to too many cola vodka or something to that effect, all in the hope of excusing her for missing the start of the all hands - really at best a clumsy dad joke, but that somehow triggered some random social justice warrior weirdo in the room who then monopolised 10 good minutes of the call for a fit of high brow offence taking.
Given the newly found sj mojo of the HR, there may be much more of that clap trap coming.

TD the best DSS ever, OLTP challenging, only if DBA unfamiliar with TD idiosyncrasies. Great solution for point to point dedicated dark fiber No company or country should go with a cloud solution. Yeah the hardware is pricy, software too but knowing no one else has access is priceless. Dedicated point to point single strand fiber is out there all along the east coast. Why risk the cloud?

Hmm, I missed the vodka tonic statements. I assume you’re referring to SB? What kind of statements did he make? I recall the previous CRO telling us bizarre stories of ham n cheese and spitting off of buildings, but SB came off as super polished (IMO) and I don’t recall any inappropriate booze references.
