Looks like they used the shadow of Meta and Twitter layoffs and cleaned some re-evaluate experienced resources at TDC. Layoff is the fault of management not the employees, let that sink in. Can the LT take moral responsibility and quit.

Which teams are impacted in India?

I guess we don’t have any thing to sell, so no need to QA test. Lot is very senior resources (old timers with 20,30+ years experience) just disappeared today. No respect.

Any good?

First of all, I hope that everyone who is impacted will find new jobs very quickly. How many people are affected? Who are the biggest target groups?

Laying off some of the best and most loyal people with no prior notice at all....... I hope that those who survive these cuts will remember this disrespect shown towards their laid off colleagues!

Laid off with no prior notice, effective immediately. Lots of people losing jobs, not looking good for the company.

Got laid off from Teradata today. Workforce reduction program. Had joined recently. Absolutely heart broken. Don’t know what to do.

Total revenue was $417 million versus $460 million, a decrease of 9%. Hard to spin this…#TDCGotSnowballed

One person i know in engineering team was let go today… wondering if this is happening across org?

It wouldn't bother me if someone did the bare minimum, if it didn't negatively affect my work. However, it bothers me considering that it makes my job very difficult, and in addition, some slackers are somehow protected here. I think the ratio of... — read more

I am nervous about layoffs, so have been watching this site over over the last few weeks. Instead of information, all I am reading is updates from people saying that the employees at teradata are lazy, incompetent, or checked out. I am not lazy or... — read more 

Maybe we can pick up some former Twits and Tweeps. After all, they are used to getting paid to do nothing and they would fit right in.

Less than 85 people showed up. We are way more screwed than I thought.

Unfortunately, TD has become the epitome of a bad company to work for. After the best left, TD now has many slackers, pretenders, as well as employees who used to do their best, but now are almost completely demotivated. Does the management really... — read more

Teradata should be a private company. Break the bonds of quarterly tactical planning. Plan for the future. Jettison DEI. We need and Elonesque figure to buy us, gut the ELT, and fire the entire board.

Although I think there are still talented people here, they are in the minority. Shortage of talent is the biggest threat to the future of their company, but apparently the leadership doesn't think so?

TD is rapidly changing for the worse. Best employees left a long time ago, average talents continue to leave as well. That's why I'm surprised by the rumors I hear about layoffs. Is there anyone left to be laid off?

Teradata used to have a policy to not do a RIF during the Holidays. What are the odds they RIF in December this year?

Someone mentioned that JW travels with a professional makeup artist. If this is on Teradata's dime, I hope she has to pay it back. If she is paying for it herself, she should demand a refund!

Scott Brown should have been our CEO. Instead, we are stuck with a tiny man that doesn’t seem to understand sales or engineering. Our board jumped the shark on SM. We get what we deserve with that choice.

I think that there are still many talented people here who, for some reasons of their own, are still here, and not in much better companies where they would be much more valued. However, the question is how long will TD remain lucky enough to have... — read more

PSW is gone. Circumstances seem mysterious, or at a minimum very sudden. The good ones go, the new ones, not so good.

I hope no one has heard any new rumors about layoffs? Please share if you have any insights. I am very worried because the atmosphere at TD has never been gloomier, at least since I have been here.
