Ceremonies have started..
Teradata: Still Crushing Data
Teradata’s still a beast in the data world we're decades in and still running some of the biggest workloads out there. Shifting from an appliance based company to a Cloud, hybrid, real-time analytics, we can't stop winning. The direction of vantage... — read more
Hopefully finally run out of run way
Hopefully those that have been instrumental in the decline of Teradata through derelict of duty to those at TD and their customers have run out of runway. They have been living a cat’s life for the duration of the decline at the company. Let’s face... — read more
What happened to El Segundo?
I used to work there but was let go in 2020. While looking at the site, I noticed on Google Maps that the El Segundo office is marked as 'Temporarily closed,' and I didn’t see it listed on Teradata’s website. Has that office been shut down?
Another round's acomin'
Buckle up peeps - another round's acomin'...
It feels ok here? Am I nuts?
I'm on the marketing team and my skip hasn't called us back to the office yet. Personally I'm not going to celebrate the ELT or cheer on RTO but honestly the day to day still feels just fine, like I don't feel a g-n on my back and the people are... — read more
Why Steve McMillan Deserves RTO While the Rest of Us Need to WFH
Because we’re not a-s kissers like that other guy. Thank you for your attention to this matter! ANONYMOUS, Employee of Teradata (TDC) Corporation
Why are the board members so unethical?
I can't fathom why we have board members that are both incompetent and unethical. How can these people take millions of dollars in payment through stocks despite losing revenue year after year. Also, there seems to be some INSANE conflicts of... — read more
Paychex Articke

Why Steve McMillan Deserves WFH While the Rest of Us Need to RTO
Let’s get this straight: Steve McMillan earned the right to work from home. Period. The man took a legacy company stuck in the 1990s and dragged it into the cloud era. He rebuilt investor trust, stabilized revenue with subscriptions, and kept... — read more
Have there been any changes to severance lately?
Where can I check?
Stuck in a rut
I can’t shake how bad it feels to still be here while most of the talented people moved on. Waiting for change that never comes is exhausting. I know some are dealing by trying to coast quietly, but that just makes it worse since skills fade and it’s... — read more
Another small round of layoffs happening in September
It seems to never end.
An excellent environment to be in
I’ve been at Teradata for 7 years now, and I still feel lucky to come into the Rancho Bernardo office. The gym here is awesome, the cafeteria is way better than most places I’ve worked, and the natural light in the building just makes the day feel... — read more

Second quarter results
What do you expect from second quarter?
Federal law enforcment visit
Has anyone from the finance or legal department been visited by law enforcmenet and asked questions about two recently departed members of the ELT team?
July Layoffs
Someone said there were supposed to be layoffs in July. Did that get scrapped or is it still coming?
Is quarterly connect necessary?
Is a quarterly connect necessary? None of my clients and previous employers implemented it. What benefits does it bring to our company? So far, it hasn't added value to our team and seems to create unnecessary manager touchpoints that risk alienating... — read more
It's too much
TD culture encourages you to give up your nights and weekends just to be seen as dedicated. If you're not constantly online, it’s assumed you’re slacking. I’ve seen talented people burn out in under a year. There's no reward for working smarter or... — read more
Annual number of employees
What do you think 2025 number will be? Annual Number of... — read more
Possible 2025 Announced!
Another stellar event in Los Angeles in October to showcase the amazing Teradata solutions, demonstrate how Fortune 100 customers are flocking to us, and to highlight how we’re so far ahead in AI! You won’t want to miss it!
Is teradata worth joining right now?
I've heard that teradata has not been in a good shape on Glassdoor and I'm not exactly thrilled by the offer I got. The pay raise from where I'm at is solid but like 90% of my team is outsourced to India including my manager and they told me I'd be... — read more
Leave if you can
I used to think things would get better if I just hung in long enough. Turns out the truth is, you wake up one day and realize years have passed and nothing’s changed. Sadly, you don’t grow here, you just survive. It’s not worth the mental toll. If... — read more
Sumeet is pushing for a RTO mandate
In case you haven't heard, this 4'10" johnny-come-lately has been working tirelessly with HR get people back into the office. I have it on good authority that the RTO mandate will get enacted sometime in late August. If you live anywhere near a TD... — read more
new CSA role
good or bad?
Gone the times when the whole company…
…was working hard at the end of a quarter. These days the CEO along with some key figures are OOO. Must be a great quarter then with early successful deals closing?
Extremely challenging but not desesperate
To survive and thrive, Teradata must continue its pivot from appliance-based legacy to cloud-first, AI-infused platforms — and win the mindshare war it’s currently losing.
WHERE TD STANDS UN MY VIEW
🔹 Sting or Weak? Moderate sting. Teradata is not a weak player — it’s solid, especially in large-scale enterprise data warehousing and analytics. It still stings in use cases requiring: • High concurrency • Complex SQL workloads • Integrated... — read more
AI Factory launched
Oh boy! The company is saved!
Will there be another round of RIFs in Oct?
Who know? Given it’s been the norm for the past handful of years it would only be a surprise if it didn’t happen.
C Level making money on bad decision after bad decision
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong. That is Teradata leadership.
It's Time for Teradata to look at the Data....
The company has been in decline for a number of years. That should partly be blamed on the product but dig deeper and identify the other constant. With a last in first out policy, recent hires who have not created the negative impact on existing... — read more
Still no press release on JW
I would think they would celebrate that useless diversity hire getting canned.
Most recent RIF Headcount?
How many people were laid off in the June sweep, all salespeople or others affected? Glad to be with a competitor!
Was that all for now?
….or will there be another round?
Must be good to the big guy’s buddy
The new cost cutter is getting an inducement award to board the sinking ship. The awards were made pursuant to Teradata’s previously announced 2025 New Employee Stock Inducement Plan (“NESIP”) and as a material inducement to Mr. Rogers joining... — read more
Time for Evan Randall to fall in his sword
After leading a disastrous systems 'upgrade' (Optimus Prime?! What are we? 12yo?) and with a disorganized and dispirited workforce that he rarely communicates with in any meaningful way, its time to see if others can do better. At the very least, we... — read more
