How far are we from the rock bottom? I think that TD is not far at all and that it is very important not to get our hopes up too much that anything will change, but to look for better opportunities.

NC has been here more than a year now. He’s paid tens of millions to McKinsey buddies, and even hired a few at hefty salaries. Can anyone articulate any value we’ve seen from his “new strategy?” If so, please respond.

Snowflake built their business right in front of Teradata in their core market. How did this happen? Talk about being asleep at the wheel. And now TDC can’t even build a second place cloud product after Snowflake showed them what to build. This will... — read more 

I’d love to work for an innovative company, but TD is certainly not that. There has been no innovation here for a long time. I wonder what miracle needs to happen for TD to become an innovative place again? Maybe it's better to forget that because... — read more 

Wow - with this impressive list of modern companies she will turn around our legacy image in no time. The website she built last for a failing company taken over by private equity says “started in 1923, but built for today.” She will fit right in at... — read more 

Enjoy your time off knowing you did as good a job as any CMO could do at Teradata. You put lots of lipstick on the pig. Even renamed her and put a dress on her. But customers can still smell her and that gives it away. If HA could turn the pig into a... — read more 

There was a post 1-2 months ago regarding potential layoffs by mid December. Anyone head anything?

This exercise will show you the main issue with the company. Unfortunately it will also depress you. I’ve lived through all these and it’s been torture. Scale of 1-10. MK (3) VL (2), OR (3), VL (2) SM (5). The BOB failed us since their main job is to... — read more 

Whenever new employee comes in, talented, enthusiastic, with a lot of desire to work, either he very quickly leaves this company or TD finds a way to get rid of him. From all this we can deduce that the management is actually allergic to new... — read more 

The perfect tagline for TDC. The new CMO can save money on a branding study. A close second is “TDC, More expensive than you think!” Or “Vantage, the industry’s only non-elastic, hard-to-provision cloud 😉”

I am trying to find a new job but honestly, I am a bit ashamed to have so many years of experience in TD on my resume. Is there any value in having TD on resume when looking for a new job? Or just the opposite? That would not surprise me either... — read more 

Posts questioning all the diversity training we are forced to take are being taken down on this site. Why? None are disrespectful to any groups. Just wondering why there is such an imbalance compared to company strategy and product training. The CEO... — read more 

Wake up TDC, results matter! No innovation, poor leadership, rookie CEO and CFO, even worse execution. Awful Q3, lowering guidance for the year and 2022 projected to be flat. Unacceptable. All the time the product teams continue to deflect, blaming... — read more 

Made bad decisions.... confidently.... daily Let great employees go Had no idea what Teradata did Was not respected by management, peers, or employees

I got Kaiser, but thinking about changing to Cigna. Cigna seems more expensive, but at least HSA is easier since it's supported by Teradata. Anyone have feedback on Cigna costs, ease of use, etc?

Just curious, the transition to IBM doing the premises support, has that finally started getting settled down? Has the GSO organization been able to hire and train enough individuals to provide walkthroughs/live phone support for all the various... — read more 

I admit, stayed few years as work life balance is amazing. But now feel the pressure and want out. Wondering if TD is becoming a drag on our Curriculum or this is just internal depression and to the external world we are still a solid brand?

Not a great time to be white, male, and over 40 at TDC. Especially if you are straight and conservative. KCC has you on her list. GTFO

Morale has never been lower, people lack motivation and that is very obvious. Yesterday another colleague of mine resigned. I don't even know what would motivate me now. Pay raise? Perhaps, but for a short time. Is there anything that would motivate... — read more 

https://apple.news/AxT8kSW7eStSoOyn6bZHBHw Hallelujah! A diversity hire! I wonder if she knows anything about marketing?

TDC can’t even fire someone the right way. ELT peers leaking a confidential search on this site a month ago is shameful. ME did all he could do in a cr---y legacy company. HA and NC will get theirs soon. #shameful

Marketing is the least of TDC’s problems. HA successfully got SM to focus on Marketing while she delivered nothing. No CMO can help until we start building innovative new products. Congratulations Hillary!!!

But no surprise. It’s been coming. Let’s see if the new CMO is up to a task.

Most people here realize how stagnant their skills have become while working at TD, only when they leave this company. A friend and a former colleague who managed to get a much better job told me that he is now under tremendous pressure to upgrade... — read more 

clear candidates are: R&D (apparently there is one) GTM (no new logs + sitting ducks for retirement)

As our CEO ensured analysts, the pipeline is looking strong and Q4 is going to be crazy successful. Putting some more optimistic tone here: how do you plan to spend your bonus?

What are your thoughts about potential Teradata layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Millions on Strategy team, McKenzie and now hear that TD has hired another Consulting Firm (SBI) to set everyone's quota for next year....this is super crazy. On the other hand, there is more RIF's on the way even for Sales Orgn while every... — read more

JJ. CH. Seems like 2 or more a week at high levels. Turnover is to be expected, but wholesale hemorrhaging is a bit more painful.

I’m pretty sure I’m not going to survive this round and I’m trying to plan my kids Christmas. This time of year sucks because no one starts hiring people around the holidays.

Forget poor quality, a cloud product that’s not elastic, no innovation, flat or declining revenue, and paucity of new customer wins - micro aggressions are our biggest issue. KCC to the rescue!!!!

Much easier for SM, KCC, HA, and NC to talk about social and woke issues like racism, gender, white privilege, se-ual orientation, climate change, …than why we are not winning any new customers or growing revenue. Diversity is actually a diversion... — read more
