"Trick or Treat" cruelty from ELT

ELT always manage to sink lower with act of cruelty. Layoffs before the holidays was a low but on Halloween is just right down cruel and revealing of their true character. After each layoff thru this year, ELT spout the worse is over and we have... — read more

Heard of several today in Australia. Unsure of how many in total, but I suspect the europeans are going to get theirs today and then the US in a few horus time. Oct 31 seems to be the date for RIF's

Flawed strategy the cause of annual riffs at TDC

The strategy of focusing on your competitors and cloud first rather than building on strengths and what customers actually need is the cause of annual resource actions at TDC. ELT, regional leadership and middle management are the real reason for... — read more

Caring words ELT used before laying someone off unexpectedly

"You're an important part of our future" "I've got your back" "What you're doing is high priority for the company" "You will thrive in the new role we created for you" "Trust me" "You're safe" Some from recent postings. What else?

Teradata has no marketable solution

Think back. Teradata was created because the market needed a competitive solution to Mainframe storage costs. The DBC 1012 provided that with around a 70% savings to the customer. The product evolved becoming more expensive with each added... — read more

More Layoffs

Layoffs again. Expect pushing the narrative of cash flow and profits as an attempt to offset slowing growth in cloud. Predictable and uninspiring playbook.

Real talent is being ignored

There is a lot of incredible talent VP/below ironically from more successful, larger IT companies that is overlooked each day. I've seen ideas completely disregarded from people who came from actually successful growth-oriented companies. And this... — read more

SKO 2024?

Each year the number attending gets smaller and smaller as the employee base gets rif'd in the months prior. The same old faces will get up on stage and preach about DEI, how they adopted a gender neutral baby from China and may even try to link... — read more 

RIF season is here

Folks, it is that time of year again at Teradata. Another Fall, another Layoff. Any idea who the nest wave will affect? I am hearing Project Managers……..

Very few job listings WW on Teradata website

Took a quick look at the Teradata careers site + did a WW search for all available positions. There were 67 open positions. Interestingly there appeared to be more Teradata job postings on Linkedin than there are on the Teradata Careers site. Also... — read more

Jet engine factory managed by travel agent operators

This is how many engineers feel about the current management and our product/technology. HA and DS are guiding the engineering org into the abyss. They are very smooth talkers but judge by who they eliminate to get their way and the results. ... — read more

Im-Possible

Photos posted on LinkedIn show low-level non-Teradata people and the “CTO” guru complete with Hawaiian shirt. And why would anyone listen to him? What a waste. But it did give Marketing plebes a free trip to Europe.

Teradata Possible?

Interested ... how did it go? If you go to the website there was an army of speakers, the vast majority of whom were from Teradata. (Including SB, which was interesting.) Did anyone show up?

Something to consider as new layoffs approach

I was laid off last fall. The week before I was let go, my director told me they were glad to have me on the team and they had built the team they wanted—and I was on it. They were telling me this all the while knowing I was about to get let go. The... — read more

Layoff planning

Layoff planning underway. Old timers should be concerned. It's not if but when ELT want you out. Any factual basis for this or is this just somebody talking out of their a-s?

But we get you ELT!

Unlike ELT, we are loyal TD workers that are here to build great products, serve our customers, support our peers, and for our share holders. What do you do ELT? objectively? but are clueless, incompetent brown nose, never did anything for TD but ... — read more

Simple question ....

What is your interaction with directors and ELTs? Would you say hi if you meet them outside of work? Would you avoid them if you see them? Are you BFF? What would it take for you to like ELT and minions more? If you are laid off by them for... — read more

TD live by the conversion & will die by the conversion

TD has been touting increased in cloud revenue but it was basically all from conversions of trapped existing customers. Word is that one of the early customer converted to dis-Vantage half baked Lake is fed up with perpetual performance issues with... — read more 

Teradata´s latest acquisition, Stemma Technologies

Here we go again, aquiring another entity. None of our other acquisitions have done anything for us and even did more harm like the StackIQ acquisition that left us with a spineless engineering executive in training. Any thoughts on how wasteful... — read more

Q3 ELT yearnings ...

Fact is TD reported a good quarter this week with no new customers, declining revenue... Anyone want to wager me TD share will continue to dive and ELT will want layoffs in near future?

The writing is on the wall

Why is anyone even surprised Moving your own customers to the cloud is hardly growing your business. Non-technical, clueless and directionless ELT are only focused on cost reduction through layoffs, limiting travel and mindless... — read more
