Wow, whether it's company trolls or hardened supporters, recent discussions triggered responses that make one wonder. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Just give us the info, good or bad, we're more than capable of observing what's going on at... — read more 

All recent discussions coming together. Companies rank their people low, get layoff list ready, and pulling the trigger after saying no more layoffs. This place is a follower, had and will continue to do the same. Read, learn, and decide for... — read more 

And he still has the CTO role at Teradata?No accountability for lack of vision. Most of the responsibility for Teradata being a #CloudLaggard rests on his burning man shoulders.

Why is Teradata not transparent on these metrics? Snowflake reports this every quarter. From their last earnings announcement - 7,292 total customers, 287 customers with trailing 12-month product revenue greater than $1 million. Simple math and we... — read more 

What have I learned from this forum? When someone says something positive and remotely intelligent about Teradata, this group is quick to denounce and downvote them, and claim thay are hr or ELT - even if the individual explicitly states multiple... — read more 

Interesting insider actions that may say something about this place https://www.secform4.com/insider-trading/816761.htm

Looks like pressure is mounting for more revenue from cloud. We see posts using RG as the scapegoat and admission this place is a sh**show. The infighting has begun? Everyone positioning themselves? Who will be first casualty?

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

This hashtag goes out to our CSO 😀

Investor beware of TDC's "cloud growth" sleight of hand. I worked there and I saw what the previous and current CFO are spinning. It is technically true, but not a smart metric to focus on. Let's do some simple math. If you had two buckets and... — read more 

For 3 years, RG sold a dream to us in field in monthly clls tht he is buildng a product to handle scale of our largst customers. Every month canned demos were given to us tht we now understand were completely bogus. RG was so smooth at deflecting... — read more 

IMHO - New customers and higher total revenue are the most critical metrics that determine if this place will continue its downward spiral or have some life left. ARR is like a freebie starting point and serve as the existing customer base. Any... — read more 

What was the main reason given for the recent Nov and Jan layoffs? Anybody buying it? As we know, the incompetent so called ELT we-ponized layoffs to get rid of political victims, those that are deemed old timers or too old, etc. The following... — read more 

As usual, this place is a follower and as mentioned in many posts, this place has adopted a continuous layoff model and no end in sight. See article below to fully appreciate layoff implications. That's exactly what seems to be going at this place... — read more 

What else could push the stock price +24% since Friday close? I mean ok EPS is up, but business is contracting (based on falling revenue). If indeed it is a buyback, it’s a Google type of story, layoffs on the one hand, shares buyback on the other…... — read more 

Someone asked here for our opinion whether Teradata will ever break $2B again. I don't think they will. You?

Good job to the carpet baggers for pulling out Q4 and 2022 but it will be short lived and won't avoid layoffs.... First, great for those that were laid off because they will get some bonus payout and put everything in the rear view mirror. ... — read more 

Total revenue was $1.795 billion versus $1.917 billion, a decrease of 6%. Once the street figures out the shell game the stock will return to 2009 levels. This is a dying company, trading on prem revenue for cloud with minimal new customer growth

Everything else down. Total ARR -- down 1%. Total Revenue -- down 6%. Gross Margins -- Down. Operating Income -- Down. Down in virtually every metric from 2021. All 'success' is being measured versus Public Cloud growth, and that cow has about... — read more 

I imagine the diversity hire and her minions are feverishly trying to put lipstick on this pig. Like Kevin Bacon in Animal House: “Do not panic! All is well!”

Lots of pressure and layoffs everywhere but it does not have to be that way. If stakeholders really know what goes on day to day, they would demand mgmt be fired. Good management take care of their people through the rough times, build trust, and... — read more

Many are just hanging in there for the payment and sayonara. Any guesses on number and which area will be hit most?

Another case of this company being a follower and not a leader. Just like IBM, this place RIF so many competent workers via age discrimination (see recent stats and all other posts) under the guise of needing some skillset quickly to... — read more

I see no doom and gloom posts. Less chatty. TINO spammer took a sabbatical. Stock looking up. I think the quarterly results will hit the stock price out of the park.

Anyone laid off in November 2022. Did you receive the final payment?

This should be interesting. Huge RIF at IBM.

This is an honest question from long term TD employee who left about a year and a half ago (voluntarily I might add, and with absolutely zero regret). Is Teradata landing any new logos at all? My experience talking with customers in my new role is... — read more
