That's the thing that bothers me the most here. Some repeat like parrots what their superiors want to hear. In essence, they are not interested in this company at all. Classic opportunists.
So where is the company headed that is full of yes men?
Nowhere really because the company full of yes man:
@5epw+1cwQksfq - we just found out one of those Directors are leaving! good riddance. Not having her randomly blow in and out of meetings will help us actually get things done. She's proud of how she yells at support, demanding her way even when she doesn't know, and lining up anyone for her own failures. Her fake personality will likely not fit where she's going.
LOL - Cloud is supposed to have rapid provisioning. This is what happens when you bolt a 40 year old database on public cloud infrastructure. HA still hasn’t figured out the entire system has to halt to resize, and all inflight queries die with no user notification. She thinks Vantage on AWS is elastic. I guess ignorance is bliss. #NotCloudNative
Consulting didn't do the Pepsi migration. The VP who was over that team retired (while lining up the outsourcing of the SSE positions to IBM) and the replacement VP left after being in the position less than 6 months. The Directors under those VPs are the constant failure throughout this.
Consulting used to do EDW implementations. Consulting headcount and revenue both are now about a half of what they used to be in 2018. The reason is that margin wasn't good enough so they raised the prices so that customers stopped buying.
I was never able to figure it out why consulting profitability with single digit margins needs to be increased if it drives consumption of software with 70-80% margins.
@3oun+1cwQksfq - sold in 2018 but it's still not implemented? what kind of people do we have managing getting things done!? It sounds like we really need to look at who is tasked to make things happen.
Pepsi was sold in 2018 and still isn’t implemented in production yet the $$ still count as our largest cloud ARR customer.
For premier bu-t kissing, you can’t beat the managers and directors in Marketing. They have made a career of worshipping the proper rear ends to keep collecting their huge salaries. Of course, people who actually work are laid off while these high-paid leeches prosper.
Vantage cloud is the biggest failure and joke of Teradata's history. Provisioning a vantage system in cloud takes weeks if not months. And yet, is riddled with countless bugs. Even if HA knows this, she does not know what to do about it. Her entire chain of PM leadership is riding the wave of "Stock appreciation" which clearly has nothing to do with building great products, to say the least. PMs are overrated and underperforming, and there are too many of them.
