Thread regarding Teradata Corp. layoffs

Our stock is at a near recent-history low. We're outspent, outmarketed by smarter, younger companies. Ignoring whether or not their tech is better, they aren't afraid to lose to win or have much deeper coffers. Yet we insist on eeking out profits to not scare away the investors still hanging on as we continue to get our as--s handed to us. There are a few really sharp people in the org, some of which actually get listened to, but far more people in position of power that shouldn't be there... unqualified, too young... then they have the AUDACITY to put out JDs asking for people with 15 years of amazing experience to report to people with barely more than 5.

More money for Marketing? There’s nothing worth marketing and a diversity hire in charge. Good luck!

The "Infinite Game" is a phrase coined by Simon Sinek (https://youtu.be/3vX2iVIJMFQ). It describes a style of management that Teradata isn't really very good at. Right now, they give it lip service. They have become slaves to the quarter by quarter thinking. At this point, they may have gone so far down the ho-e that they either succeed or the company goes away.
Teradata has very good technology but a limited understanding of how to implement it in a real situation. This is why they have a heavy reliance on templates. Their people don't know how their own product is used or how it needs to change and grow to fit the ever changing customer requirements. You see this when, where they do sell, it is MVP and they struggle to get beyond that. Normally their vertical industry knowledge is 5-10 years in arrears and, by themselves, they are trying to solve old problems. They should be leading what their customers need in the next 3-5 years. They are very poor at that. Their competition is excelling at it.
