Rumor is that SM will take him out by the end of the year. The Strategy team has zero respect and NC has poisoned many relationships. If not for woke concerns he would already be gone. Yet another disaster ELT fiasco.

Any update here? I was really hoping...
If KCC opposes so much, why keep her too? I didn't detect any overwhelming irreplaceable competence in her. Politics instead? Galore.
Hopefully gone by end of next week. SM wants it to happen, KCC says no it would be a bad look firing a woke ELT member. It would derail her woke agenda
Could be the next South Park episode…
If NC had an ounce of self awareness he would resign so SM doesn’t have to fire him. But narcissists have no self awareness. Seriously, who joins a company and brags about how many languages they know? When the stock was going up he even said “look what Steve and I have done” trying to take credit for others work. PF left after one meeting with this guy.
DH, DS, HA, RK and SM himself have to go.
"KCC is trying to save NC since firing him will look bad for TDC wokeness."
This may well be true and, if so, it explains why Teradata is going down the tubes. That is, retaining a value-destroying employee because he represents a particular demographic. On the other hand, KCC has had no problem laying-off thousands of employees who historically have added-value. When the company is on fire, what is more important: saving the company or preserving the company's image? Here's a hint, no company, no image.
were SM actually to fire NC, one could say that SM will have awoken!
KCC is trying to save NC since firing him will look bad for TDC wokeness. We are probably stuck with him for six more months unfortunately. Hard for SM to make this decision even though it’s clear NC is one of the worst ELT hires in the past five years.
He’s the one who leaked M.e.’s firing. Total lack of class. Even if we had a great strategy he should be fired for that. There is no trust or respect among the ELT. That’s on SM - he needs to lead!
Dinning - no flippin' way - the guy was a COMPLETE empty-suit!!
Bring back John Dinning, all is forgiven
“We are not a solutions company” was the best strategy ever. It was so fun to see management twist themselves into a pretzel trying to say we weren’t a solutions company but that we were a solutions company. Go sell our non-solutions solutions, people!
What does it say about SM if he fires "one of the best human beings he knows"?
Less than zero results. Negative results. Waste of time and money. Huge opportunity cost.
NC lined MK’s pockets and spent tens of millions $’s, with zero results
Nobody can articulate the new strategy, the regions are running their own plays. Nobody listens to him/it/we/them/us
This kid is an obnoxious, narcissistic, know it all
His team cannot stand him and he has alienated himself/he/we/it from everyone
Fired from last job and by the amount of rumors and leaks it looks promising his/they/him days are numbered.
