I'm so tired of TD's toxic culture, of being overworked because I work in an under-resourced team, and having to deal with constant changes in strategy and priorities. Weak leadership has all but destroyed the company and is forcing us to deal with... — read more
Not paying earned commissions
External companies now informed that TD is refusing to pay earned commissions to sales team from 2021 business. Coming up with excuses but no explanations and erasing internal presentations that committed cloud bonus. People getting 1/4 of earned... — read more
The Margins Are Not There
TD is not making money. Consolidating and reorganizing is not making money. Without good margins, the future is grim if there at all. This is not good. A successful company is expanding and hiring additional staff. That is not happening here at... — read more
KCC Needs to go. HR is a joke.
Or People Org or whatever they are calling it. Rebranding your terrible org does not make it better. It makes it another waste of my time having to read another email and go to a new place to find no real help. NOBODY has time for a 3-hour virtual... — read more
Is there a package being offered?
Seems like there yet another reorg. If there is, are they offering an exit package?
Leave if you can
I don't understand folks who are not looking to switch companies. We're not paid enough, we have to go through too many organizational changes, and we are constantly stressed due to too many layoffs. Nobody is safe, but especially those who've been... — read more
Over it
I’m done. Can’t take the daily abuse any longer. Overworked and underpaid.
Be honest
How many of you would accept voluntary separation if it was offered?
CIO
How's the newish CIO doing? I had an offer to go work for her, but not sure.
Russian customers
I wonder what the impact of US sanctions against Russia will be for Teradata. Sberbank at least is a massive customer. There are also VTB and retailers.
Oh, the JOY! Goodbye Teradata!!!!
The best week of my life in the last four years when “The call” happened with the biggest fake @$$h0/= I have ever met in my career here. Couldn’t get the equipment out of my virtual office fast enough, delete any and all files that were no longer... — read more
Details, please
What departments had RIFs? ----- I'm referring to another thread below. I guess those must've been some minuscule RIFs considering there are no more details !?
Speaking of RIF, how many over age 5o been riffed?
Is a cl@$$ action l@wsuit a possibility? I heard management sent down the wire to recruit and retain young, malleable college kids …let middle age leave or find a way to RIF them. Any truth? How many over 5@ got riffed.
RIF today
People have been RIFed this morning
Almost everyone feels stuck here
I don't know anyone who's here just because they want to be here. Most people I know are still here because they haven't been able to find something else. Perhaps only those in higher positions are comfortable enough so they don't have to think... — read more
This was a mistake
I joined eight months ago. I'm going to make sure I don't see my first anniversary here. This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for when it comes to the work environment and company culture. If they paid better I might consider staying... — read more
Marketing All Hands
What do you think about marketing all hands today and J direction?
The end of consulting
Do you share the opinion that consulting is being left to die? Sales are only focused on migration projects to achieve your ARR goals. There is no attempt to sell consulting projects for us to do internally. They just want to place one or two... — read more
Make your manager look good
I've been convinced numerous times that the general rule at TD is that those who have vast knowledge and skills will not be here for very long because they intimidate their less knowledgeable managers. It is never a good idea to show yourself to... — read more
All Company call
As I am listening the recording of the All Hands, I am losing the will to live. If you replaced Teradata with Acme Inc, the platitudes would be equally applicable. There isn't a single intrinsic assertion or utterance or value proposition to single... — read more
Invest your time wisely
There are people here who are very unhappy in this company but are not looking for a new job. That's really weird. They spend time trying harder and harder (as if the situation at TD will change for the better), but they do not invest even half an... — read more
Why only 105%?
To be honest, I am a little surprised since our results were so good. I guess we should now prepare for 1% merit increases.
New Logos?
What new logos? What about the ones we’re losing?
Confidential search for new CSO
Headhunters briefed and ready to pull the trigger on replacement due to failing strategy. Expect announcement imminently now Q4 numbers have been released.
Trolls, where are you Trolls?
Silent, thought so. Results speak louder than Trolls, oh I mean words.
It's all rigged
Even if you are the best choice you won't get the promotion. They will promote whoever they want from the long list of brown nosers who spend their days agreeing with everything management says and kissing their as--s. This joke of a system is... — read more
AIP Bonus
Now that the Board of Directors meeting has concluded has anyone heard what the AIP percentage will be?
The market is hot
Everyone keeps saying that and yet they are still here. Is it really that easy to find a better job now? I don't think so, because there are a huge number of people who are applying for every position. The market is hot and in theory you can find... — read more
What a disaster
A year ago, our EPS was $0.22. This year it's $0.10. I'm betting we don't even meet that on Monday.
SEMs get out before too late
There are news ( not rumors ) SEMs are next , all SEM work will be divided and moved to nearshore / offshore . They will remove most but not all. If you know a SEM , ask they to look for something better . The end is near . Possible layoffs in two... — read more
Productivity
The manager sets unrealistic goals and I barely get the minimum done. I don't know how you manage to stay focused on work, but I can't constantly worry about whether I will end up on the layoff list and do my best at the same time. I think... — read more
Everything works out in the end!
I know a lot of people who wouldn’t have left TD if they hadn’t gotten laid off. My colleague and a friend thought it was the end of the world after he got cut. However, if you asked him about it now, he would say it's the best thing that's ever... — read more
Severance package
Can we get more info on the severance package for the latest round? Somebody mentioned 6 months' pay and a full bonus, which to me sounds a bit too good to be true. Can anybody confirm this? Shouldn't it be dependent on time with the company? If... — read more
Don't expect to see an end to layoffs
I don't think it will ever be over. This is an on-going process. This quarter they targeted GTM and CSE's, next month they may target Operations, then CS. Consulting is always on their radar to shrink, they will squeeze that until SM will have to... — read more
They don't seem to care about the competition
I'm interested in what the competition is doing. I failed to get a job with one of the direct competitors, but soon I have an interview with another competing company. According to what some people who are there told me, it is not ideal there... — read more
This week's layoffs
Do we know exactly what happened? How many total people were affected? Are we certain it's done? I'm guessing it is since I haven't heard about any more people being notified today, but you can never know for sure. I wish the layoffs process was more... — read more
How to handle backstabbing colleague?
I guess this is not abnormal here at TD. If you have a colleague you have to work with every day, who licks manager’s a**, and keeps backstabbing you, what would you do to handle it professionally?
Upcoming Q4 results: bo-m or bust?
I am a bit confused. Stock price stands firmly above levels from some time ago, thus maybe SM is turning the tides and the growth is there. Layoffs maybe just a sign of putting cloud-optimized org in place and chopping the deadwood. However, I just... — read more
Culture comes from the top
Every time I see that bullying is allowed here, spreading gossips, backstabbing, appropriating someone else’s merits, etc., I remember that culture comes from the top. So I don’t believe it’s even possible to fix the atmosphere here without some... — read more
Wrong timing
Someone here said that the start of the fiscal year is the worst time for RIFs and that person is absolutely right. Couldn't TD at least have better timing, if they don't want/ have no way to save jobs already?
