Do we have any data scientists who can do linear regression?
SM wants to know what it might be in 2024
The number of employees is getting close to the number of strategic initiatives NC and his MCK friends have come up with.
You would think someone representing diversity and inclusion would be more inclusive. Even his own team is repulsed by his language and his trying to take credit at others expense. He said the marketing message was a mess until he got involved. The messaging has not materially changed in three years. SM is stuck with him now.
Maybe he should have been presenting the strategy of the new Teradata, along with BR presenting the new shadow, cloud org that will clearly duplicate so many roles.
Or maybe not, given one doesn’t work for the company and the other is completely erratic.
Without NC there would be no diversity in the ELT.
Definitely NC - calling someone a blockhead is his style. The most passive aggressive narcissistic manager I’ve ever seen. Bad for our culture.
Looks like NC is on this thread trying to defend his failing strategy. Nothing new has changed in his year with TDC. Someone needs to send him How To Win Friends And Influence People since he is so socially unaware and egotistical. At least we interact with him on WebEx and not in person. SM hired him? Poor choice that will bite him big time. NC has alienated all his peers.
Katy Huberty, Morgan Stanley - I want to start by asking, Steve, a question, just looking at the ARR metrics year-to-date relative to where you exited 2020, total ARR is flat, up about $1 million. Cloud ARR is up $33 million. So that would imply that there's some churn in your on-prem business.
Katy is no blockhead😀
Maybe this person who calls others blockheads can articulate a long-term strategy of shrinking revenue and losing customers works after you cut costs to the bone. What’s next? Short-term ARR growth is all they talk about except cost cutting. This is the fourth year of that strategy and without absolute revenue growth no investors are excited.
If wiping nearly 10% off the share price in one day is considered to be a minor stutter, then I would question who the book for dummies should really be sent to…
Look at TDC’s total customers over the past five years. They are afraid to report it but it’s gone from 1150ish to under 800. Not a positive trend.
Do we have a copy of economics for dummies to give to this blockhead? Topline revenue declined in favor of ARR growth, increased EBITDA, EPS and FCF with less headcount. The reward is shareholder value, a minor stutter but good long-time growth stock.
Most companies are growing in this current climate - they cannot get enough people to meet demand.
TD must have a different model - something special going on back in the lab that allows them to do more with less
