- Nobody in the ELT is obsessed with the Teradata technology.
- Not getting RIF’d amounts to annual bonus and raise
- Stop using the word re:invent and re:transform every year
- Moving an existing Teradata account to the cloud does not amount to a new logo
- If GH is running Cloud, “Reply hazy, try again”
- Is RA still referencing the Walmart Story?
- Not a single large new logo in the past two years
- Over engineering is the norm
- Diversity in ELT, not part of either tactical or strategic settings in TASM
- Fasten your seatbelts, this is one turbulent ride

Haha, I think they are right. The posts are always written in the same style.
Take a look at the number of up votes to see what people here think of the posts and maybe ask yourself why you need to blame third parties.
The company is in decline - financially & culturally. Innovation is non existent and positive change is seemingly out of reach for most.
This post brought to you by Snowflake PR department. Best to focus on your own sinking share price than what TDC is doing
To all the unhappy TD employees - if it is so bad for your standards, just leave and let others enjoy the Titanic music for few more years. No point to complain day long. Unless TD does a charitable act keeping you in with this amazing skill set that no one wants to hire. Is so, do not bite hand that puts the bread on the table
There’s at least another 90 to go. Here’s another 10:
- Annual recurring revenue does not always recur - customers have more options to cancel than ever, now that the onprem, lock-in is dead.
- Gross margin in the cloud is clearly less than on premise and if the customer is a heavy user it narrows even further as the CSP costs escalate based on their usage.
- Vantage in the cloud is not the same as Vantage on premise and migrating data to the cloud makes it easier for the completion to access that data.
- Customers have already left, but we don’t always know that is the case and when it happens, then it’s never openly spoken about.
- Account teams have been fired for having strategic plans that don’t generate quarterly revenue . Those very same account teams go elsewhere and close multi million dollar deals - sometimes with the same customer.
- Growth only takes place when total revenue actually grows and it’s simply not been growing despite all the claims.
- Becoming cloud native takes a lot
of smarts, time and money - most of which are in short supply here.
- The competition is bigger and tougher than ever before - they don’t hang around and they don’t need to transform their operations either.
- Management and colleagues will always put themselves first when the pressure is on so sometimes the better and more capable people get sacrificed instead of them when RIFs kick in.
- When you are not growing, RIFs happen all the time. Some are big, some relatively small but face the facts - this is an ongoing process and has been for many years now as the company steadily declines
Brutal... Wonder how much of that is the truth and how much frustration of rank and file that can't progress much and ventils out?
