Since none of us can change anything here, I am aware that all my frustrations are in vain. For example, our technology. Does anyone think our technology is relevant enough today? I don't think so.

Any new customers? New logos? Deets? Is RG’s TC selling? Did we get the fruit company to buy shiny new nodes?

Looking back on all the years I’ve spent here, I’ve managed to expand my skillset and I’ve learned a lot, but I also feel like I’ve wasted a lot of time. Colleagues who left a long time ago, in most cases, found better jobs and progressed in their... — read more 

By know HA knows her vanity project is basically the Hindenburg? Right??

PMO person procedes to say I am not making myself available. Noteworthy, PMO person keeps scheduling regular 7:00 am and lunch hour meetings. Are we expected to work 630-530 and then 730-10? What happened to working hours and work-life balance?... — read more 

What's wrong with people? He had the audacity to say I was free at that time. What happened to work etiquette? No lunch meetings unless you bring lunch. No meetings before 9 am unless emergency, then 8am is ok (once in a while). I'm sick and tired... — read more 

So our strategy at TDC is working…. This story will be spun up. TDC’s leaky bucket challenge is leaking customers far more than any competitor, so our next quarter will be worse. Save costs and cut expenses, is the mantra for Engineering. But... — read more 

You don't need an MBA to figure this out. Legacy technology, late to the cloud, existing customers leaving, no new customers buying, brain drain of what little talent was left, inexperienced leadership team, toxic & political culture, and low... — read more 

My team has been understaffed for a very long time. I am overwhelmed by the growing list of expectations from my boss. Considering we are short-staffed I would expect some proactive communication from our manager to determine what the most... — read more 

I have been working the bare minimum for a long time but in the meantime I am diligently looking for new opportunities. I worked hard until TD decided to lay off colleagues who were employees that any decent company could only wish for.

After a ton of agile coaches who thought they can teach us SAFe safely and a bunch of wannabes who blindly implemented these ceremonies without knowing the value of the same, it is time to ta-ta the Project Management Office. They do nothing but... — read more 

How many of you have been told in the past several years "do as I say or you can kiss your job goodbye" when trying to fix something that's obviously broken? I keep trying because it would make my job significantly easier if we implemented some... — read more 

Generally people don’t talk about it but at this point the atmosphere at TD is so desperate that many openly say they would love to be RIFed. Is it really worth waiting for the package? I don't think so.

Bury it, don’t resurrect it. It was supposed to be a POC that shouldn’t have been made into a product. No wonder customers are looking for alternatives. Hopefully the IC replacement is a better bet?

“We are freezing hiring, so that we don’t have to RIF you later”. Understatement of the century.

As part of Snowflake's quarterly earnings they always report total customers, Fortune 500 customers, Global 2000 customers, and customers with >$1M ARR. They don't have to be asked since this is basic financial information that investors expect. ... — read more 

I guess if the company after three months hasn’t hired anyone new to replace the colleague who left, it doesn’t even intend to do so? Any thoughts? A colleague who left did a huge amount of work and now, of course, those of us who are still here... — read more 

I work in the cloud engineering team and just put down my papers. Can’t work any more. So much negativity and turf building with no idea of where the vantage product should be in the next few quarters. SAFe is not quite safe any more. Line managers... — read more 

I'm am new to the company and was looking for some tips from employees that have been here longer. I think that the relationship with my direct manager is one of the most important aspects of everyday office work. Just to be clear, I’m non an... — read more 

Several PMs out (left, thrown out) in the last few months. With the hiring freeze, cost cutting, we are not going to backfill PMs. Engineering can relax now.

We don't need to figure out why the schedule keeps being affected. We need more engineers and less wondering by clueless program management!

All is fine here. Nothing to see. The stock is down because of the conflict in Europe. HA is not here, but SM is good with sci-fi.

I have been with Teradata for 14 years and I have to say that I have never seen a company fall so far from grace so fast. The simplistic problems I see are: Moving the headquarters from economy minded Miamisburg, OH to San Diego, California, the... — read more 

Total number of customers, and new customer wins. TDC had ~1200 customers in 2015, now they have less than 800 customers. This should alarm all investors. We reported the number of new customer wins a few years ago and had a goal to win 100 annually... — read more 

The whole situation at TD is frustrating. Why is TD so stuck in the past?

I'm trying to stay positive but it's getting harder each day. A lot of people are leaving and those who stay don't care about this company anymore. The leadership doesn't have any concrete vision and it seems quite powerless to take advantage of... — read more 

Reading these posts, is it a smear campaign by a competitor or a bitter employee. Why not compare the good things. The market cap difference. Better to compare the total valuation decline over the last year. Total new logos. Better to compare... — read more

If your team was behind in a football game 49-4 you would be firing the coaching staff. Instead TDC's board compensates their ELT without heavily factoring in revenue growth, stock price appreciation, or market cap. What a sham. TDC posted flat... — read more

That says it all, and because of Sarbanes Oxley the CEO will not spin that like he does everything else. 1% revenue growth in Q1 in a hot, fast-growing market? Snowflake is eating TDC alive. With a mediocre, lukewarm BOD and an ELT more focused on... — read more
