Maybe he’ll buy us too? The price is a pocket change for him 😁

Should we go private like TWTR? Would Musk buy us too?

I keep seeing former coworkers from Teradata showing up on LinkedIn with the looking for work banner. It seems like there’s been a steady stream since January. Are they moving away from the mass RIFs and letting people go at a slow trickle? The... — read more 

I am not the type of person who can stay silent and not express his opinion on things that matter to me. I no longer want to work for a company where I have to be very careful about raising my concerns. How to raise a problem at work when... — read more 

It is not confidential anymore. TDC is finally looking for a replacement for HA. Apparently they want a proven engineering leader with an actual track record of delivering products and who understands technology. Don't feel sorry for her, she will... — read more 

Anyone else notice that its been very quiet last few days.. makes me wonder what's coming.. feels like something...

Kurtz is going to have a hard time selling this one to the analysts….

Couldn’t attend and see for myself. Are we selling? New logos? ARR growth?

It feels that the management has lost control over the top line, ARR. Brace yourselves…

Are 1/2 day Fridays coming back this summer? Has anyone heard anything?

When is NC getting his golden parachute? He’s only cost the company millions of $$$ and hasnt done a worthwhile thing with strategy. His time has come to say bye bye bye.

What do you think?

FQ is now at Snowflake. That tells you all you need to know. He was the smartest and most passionate cloud evangelist at TDC, but got tired of being ignored by HA for three years. She dismissed all his product concerns and blamed sales and... — read more 

Three hours looong. Isn’t it time to be done transforming?

This seems to be the prevalent rumor at this point, is there any truth to it?

Question for current employees who post here- Why post here rather than voice your frustrations at work? Are you worried that there will be negative backlash? Is the response different based on what leader you have? It is better for me, but maybe... — read more 

I don't use those words lightly. I've worked at nearly a dozen companies in the past 30 years and I can safely say that yes, Teradata is the worst employer I've ever had. The company doesn't respect us. Nobody here realizes they need us. Instead... — read more 

I am very sad that this company is sinking. When you first got your job here (I mean those who have been here for a few years), could you even believe at the time that TD would look this miserable today? And everything could have been so much... — read more 

I wish I arrived to TD just recently so that I wouldn't know how this used to be a very innovative company before everything went downhill. I'm a little nostalgic these days. They managed to nearly bring down a company that was once very promising. — read more 

Well last year Teradata dissolved their Customer Services Division. They did not sell it but fired everyone. Outsourced to IBM. On paper they will show better performance do to the costs savings. What else does Teradata have to ditch in order to... — read more 

Teradata - One can tell they are the primary analytical technology running in data centers for the last 25+ years. Their booth was well positioned, professional but it was clear they are in a defensive position. They stated to me "We are here in... — read more 

Apparently TD does not seem to understand its direct competitors nor how to monitor the way competitors to business. Still, is it hard to believe that leadership is neglecting competition? Although, nothing would surprise me anymore.

hello guys, i'm a relatively new TD member (less than 1.5 years) and have not seen any growth in my role. although that being said, i am very comfortable in my role, going through the motions daily, and i have a terrific team that gets me through the... — read more 

A start-up just a few years ago will pass 40+ year old Teradata in their own core market. Sad but true. Snowflake is projecting $2 billion next year while Teradata is just treading water. A case study on mismanagement, complacency, and lack of... — read more 

I can't express how i am feeling today. I attended a few meetings earlier and found out that some key folks had resigned. These people are some of the best @ Teradata and their departure sends a message to the ELT and HR that all is not well here. It... — read more 

TD is a relatively good place for those who plan to linger around just a bit until they gain some experience. Those who stay longer eventually realize they’ve wasted their time. It is impossible to plan a career in a company where you cannot even... — read more

Now that bonuses have been paid out, I have heard from many who gave their notice on Monday. Some are being offered all sorts of retention options except these are the same folks who were under valued, under promoted and generally maligned by their... — read more 

With all the hoo harr'ing by HR that returning to offices is the employee's choice, it seems some in management didn't get the memo with one country now forcing employee's back to the office regardless if they are vaccinated or not which is illegal... — read more 

I have to give it to this management, they've certainly managed to do one thing. They created such a toxic and political environment that pushes some of the employees to trip others up to help themselves. Not to mention, we also now have territorial... — read more 

There are so many better options in this industry, that there is no need for anyone to spend any more of their time here. I have never worked in a more depressing environment.

Generally speaking, there are thousand reasons to lose motivation here, and zero to regain it. I’ve been losing motivation on a daily basis because I have to deal with a micromanager, but I know there are many bigger reasons why people hate having... — read more 

I'm so exhausted. Given how much I’m overwhelmed, I think I should be paid much more. I believe the competition pays more and I don’t believe they can overwhelm their employees much more than TD does? Perhaps someone has experience from competing... — read more

I came here to learn new things but the reality is different. TD is not exactly the learning culture I thought it was. Perhaps the experiences of others are different and you are learning a lot more at your current job here?

Bonuses have paid out. Who is resigning today or Monday?

A few others I have heard about that have been RIF'd this year are also over 50. Did any of you get advised of the Decisional Unit and get a list of those who had been separated and their ages? I wonder if TD is staggering their layoffs, so they can... — read more
