Is this still true? Which department?
$100 million? Hahaha
@19a, So, could we generate 100m+ ARRG? It looks very positive! Good sign for us!
We have many clients and projects in Saudi Arabia - some of our largest clients actually and we are also already in discussions with MbS regarding some of his most significant projects which involve analytics (e.g. healthcare).
the product is half decent, not great, possibly not as good as others but there are numerous examples of inferior products outselling better ones.
smoke & mirrors and a credible sales force will sell, backed by good marketing.
the salesforce in this company from AE's to Petley are not even 3rd rate
basic questions should be asked and pipeline scrutinised, "i've got a £20m deal in Q4 honest" ... "oh great keep it up"
pathetic!
don’t think they want to spend their money on half azz product that doesn’t work
Where is TD deal in Saudi Arabia? They want to spend 600B…if still no significant deal, we should restructure our whole growth team or whole sales team.

@134. "half decent product"? That's not going to cut it.
What if AE & SE's have developed relationships and trust over many years and now they have to push a "half decent product" with some smoke and mirrors?
Your credibility is all you've got and if you can't deliver on the slideware and promised timelines, you're sc--wed.
Wow
“because if these CSM/CSX/CSE/AE's got off their a*"s and tried to sell something rather than wait for renewals and upgrades them maybe we wouldn't be where we are.“
There is nothing to sell. Teradata Solutions aren’t! AWS and Snowflake beat TD every-time. Very sad to say Teradata Glory Days occurred twenty five years ago.
It is hard to debate your logic or the lack of it. Performance is never a metric for large-scale RIF, which is the only leverage they can use. So why bother?
Hutch is not your friend. No one likes Steve. Arora is not good. You got canned Petley. No wonder you figured out how to pick wrong people, you are one of them.

go visit a client or two, make relationships, know what their issues and how your product could help them. of course you need a half decent product but people buy from people and we do have a half decent product
severance will hit the wrong people first because of a 3rd rate salesforce of Oracle rejects
Who hurt you? You may not see value in a particular role, but these are people. Severance will not be enough for many in this job market. Why would someone wish ill to complete strangers? Seriously, why?
If layoffs are unavoidable, could we prioritize letting go of the less effective CSMs/CXMs first? We already know which clients are likely to leave in the next two years and need retention efforts. We don't need these expensive 'coordinate managers' acting as mere messengers in between. This should be the least disruptive approach to the company's operations at the moment.
They think they can get away with it. The more layoffs the more people stop working. Employees don’t care anymore . Think of all the cutbacks, they are lining it up for takeover but I feel they have cut too far and can’t make the books look good.
Hahahahahaha Can they deliver anything now?
I doubt there is going to be a mass layoff but we can expect few folks to be let go of. Tdc won’t be able to deliver anything if there is a mass layoff again.
Like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, it's going to happen
Layoffs continually. You heard it here second.
