Thread regarding Teradata Corp. layoffs

Lack of autonomy and dictation is accurate these last 1.5 years.

Why bother having a team of dozens of salaried subject matter experts, when you ignore them and just constantly bark down orders with a lack of proper strategy, process, and consideration for what the business needs.

But all is well. The executives get their cute little world tour and can pat themselves on the back again soon. Maybe another pay for play article or photo op around the corner for them soon to boast about, while brushing the continuing incompetence of leadership further under the rug. Just in time for the annual layoff in the fall. Nothing to see here as long as the ELT can continue to cash out their stocks at $50+.

Marketing department does not have autonomy, everything is dictated to them - go along or else.

Ugh! It's so hard working with the Marketing Department here. The 'COE' comes up with some rando one liner and we have to stick it everywhere as if it's the best thing since sliced bread. I wish we'd stop creating new one liners and just create a new legit product. :(

Has Teradata accomplished anything in AI even? Which breakthroughs were achieved here, anything? Are they involved with anything like hosting infrastructure for LLMs or anything? Serious question

JW's hairdresser has been given a new role in fusing terms together. Next we'll see them referring to Vantage as the new shampoo for data

Doesn’t TD boast about planting trees? Fuel feels counter to that.

Wonder how much they paid an agency to develop that theme. Would have been better to spend that money towards a new contractor on the event programming staff.

Smoke and Mirrors are on sale!! Come and get some!!

Maybe JW has a special bingo card for people who like to use marketing speak.
