Feel bad for long term Teradata staff
The ones that have been there 10 to 15+ years typically have no other marketable skills. When TD collapses they will struggle. This entire group generally is fairly low calibre anyway (Especially in PS), which followed weak leadership. The result... — read more

Eliminate all positions between C-level and 2nd level (Director)

Are there any layoffs in india any managers who are not worth removed
What a shame...
If Teradata's director levels and above had any honor, they would be letting themselves go and getting replaced with professionals who can actually manage and not just kiss butt. But of course, they won't. They will watch their underlings head out... — read more

SD Layoff's
I wonder how many people who moved to SD in the last year or so from different parts of the country and some International are let go. These people packed up with enormous disruption to their families but still moved believing in the company and its... — read more

A business analytics company that can’t even analyze
I find it extremely funny that a company that prides themselves as the best decision possible and invest in answers can’t even help their own business case in terms of analyzing and forecasting for the future. How the hell are companies suppose to... — read more
Bob Joyce is out
Thoughts on the fact that Bob Joyce already got canned?
Oliver out...but still circling the drain...
As long as Teradata has the same inept director levels and above, they will be a bit player and lose market share. What a shame that a once-good company has such id–ts for management.
Class Action?
Is anyone else out there thinking about what it takes to file a class action against this company? Complete incompetence by the board to allow such failings. The whole VL/OR thing is crazy enough, but then fold in Dayton, Seattle, ThinkBig... — read more

There are 11 EVPs on the Executive Leadership Team, not counting the other EVPs that report into EVPs. 3 hired in the last 3 months - who should go first?
Has there been any talk of buyout for older employees?
Everyone I know is waiting for one. The place would be empty. You think it's bad now?
OR
Olivet’s glass door ratings are still at 82 per cent. Someone should tell Martyn’s team that they can stop posting to boost Oliver’s ego. Martyn and team can locate more airport signs to place TDC billboards or replace the Vantage brand with... — read more
Do the cleanup in one go

Dayton is not the problem
Problem was not Dayton ...the real problem was lack of tech leadership and vision. VL and OR are not qualified to lead this company. VL needs to be kicked out. He was the worst leader in Teradata's history. A failed and retro retail person to lead a... — read more
Lara Nyquist, General Counsel
In her interim HR role, she oversaw the reduction of hundreds of customer facing associates and lost revenue. Teaming with Vic and Oliver, they had no idea of the negative impact. In addition, layoffs were handled with zero respect. As General... — read more

HP, Xerox and TDC - a possible threesome
HP and Xerox are getting together to save $2 billion. Maybe they will invite TDC to a threesome and cut even more. The layoffs created from the threesome would be scary. Last month, HP said it will cut between 7,000 and 9,000 jobs by the end of... — read more

Dave Kepler and Bill Stavropoulos (Both Retired from DOW)
