Aware of numerous people affected, but not unaware yet of the overall number.
"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
RIF happening in EMEA too
It is the last day of October and people are being informed right now.
RIF's happening today in Australia
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?
ELT managing to the desired results - you do not matter to them
"manage to the desired results" is a favorite directive of engineering ELT/VPs/directors. What this means is do what it takes to get the result that they want to benefit them, not necessarily to the company's benefit, or what's right, moral, or... — read more
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
Q3 Results
Any Rumors about Q3? US are doing well? What’s about EMEA?
How many Marketing VPs does Teradata have? And how many do we need?
The answer is to the first question is 11 - under the chief marketing officer What is the answer to the second question you think?
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
"Please please please stick" prays ELT and brown nosers each day at TD
This ELT is know to be clueless of what they have on their hands in the Teradata database crown jewels. For past 8 years, it was fumbling through Hadoop, SaaS, and now AI... chasing again and again. Instead of utilizing the power of all the... — read more
HA + DS in engineering = JW in marketing = incompetence + disaster
HA, the glorified product manager, and DS, the process evangelist disguising as an engineer is driving engineering to the ground just like JW in marketing. Much have been said about HA but DS showing true colors of political vindictiveness and my... — read more

Layoffs in October/November
Are there any layoffs in sales and marketing this October/November?
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?
It's been nice and quiet devoid of noise from ELT and their sympathizers
ELT and minions have tried to suppress many posters and useful information on this board, took passive aggressive actions to push real TD workers to leave, gloat after layoffs and earnings, and even go so far as calling our TD peers names and... — read more
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
Quiet layoffs in support
Many support people were told to go find a home or out of a job recently. Engineering scooped up some. Any idea how many affected and how many had to leave? It was all done quietly as it is the ELT way to maintain morale ... u won't care if u... — read more

TD live by the conversion & will die by the conversion

Scared straight ... ELT and minion VPs and directors shaking right now

How low can TDC go? realistic PE in the 30s says fair price is around $13 to $15
TDC PE is absurdly high for not accomplishing anything.... PE of 124? Share prices will continue to nose dive until ELT pay some place off for some favorable announcements linking to ai. Good luck, TDC demise is inevitable due to lack of core... — 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?
More layoffs ... Engineering mgmt is a root of problem
TD Engineering used to have knowledgeable technical leaders at all levels, now we have none at all. All the knowledgeable people, mover, and shakers have been RIFfed or resign on their own after trying to help. All current mgmt are yes people... — read more
Eery similarity ... arrogant leadership and under performance
Whether it´s a cloud service company, a beer company, or a sports team. Arrogant, heartless, clueless, narsarcist leadership is leading toward more layoffs and failures. TINO ELT epitomize a business in a death spiral. Read all the posts from... — read more
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
