It's time

A lot of people in India and Pakistan who were not billable or working on internal non revenue generating projects were let go. This ship is sinking fast.

Teradata having a celebration event is like the Colorado Rockies celebrating their star players. And flying them to Rome? Shows how out of touch and privileged the ELT is. I guess there is an award for who’s revenue shrunk the least.

It’s time for the lazy incompetent AE’s and the Service Sales Executive in the UK&I who have been hiding behind the promise of sales on large accounts to go. They have been BANKING on being shielded by the sheer fact that they have ownership of the... — read more 

That embarrassment of a CMO is gone and off the website. I imagine Marketing types globally are dancing in the streets.

Managers here don’t manage anything. My boss doesn’t even know my name, doesn’t train me, and doesn’t care. I ask for help and get ignored. What’s the point? I’m young, not stupid. This isn’t how you run a business. I already have two interviews... — read more 

I’m astonished how the some of sales people in EMEA (specifically those incompetent ones in UK&I) are unscathed by the latest round of rifs. More than likely they are being protected by incompetent geo leads a yet once again our company has lost... — read more

Lake is what ultimately led to the company’s downfall. Six years of investment driven by HA, TM, and DS yielded no revenue. It’s disheartening to see Teradata—once the undisputed leader in data warehousing—reduced to this.

Shake out CxO, re org here and there to distraction from core issues, bring buddies from previous companies . Same pattern everywhere and every time

For those of you that have been at TD for a couple years, you've seen how quickly the company is collapsing. Declining revenue, stock price below IPO two decades ago, huge turnover in management, ZERO product innovation, consistent layoffs in high... — read more 

It's ok to feel bad. Despite what some ungrateful individuals might say on here, it's never a joyous occasion to find yourself out of a job. Best of luck on your job search.

Yes failed leadership and vision has led to the decline of Teradata. Too engrossed in the hype of a legacy solution which now has been overtaken by creative, visionary competitors who connect with customers at a both technical and strategic level... — read more

What will most definitely be another difficult week for some hard working employees who will be faced with redundancy through no fault of their own, is it time to start calling those culpable individuals out who have just taken an easy ride. Let’s... — read more 

In sales it's all self evident really. Look around you, you will see people that have survived the RIF action YOY. Survival is not always down their capability...it's about several things and they have got it down to an art. Firstly, make sure you... — read more 

Getting laid off from this demoralizing, crumbling company would be a true liberation.

As the inevitable looms for many at TD across the globe, will those fortunate sales people who have avoided the cull year on year self reflect and acknowledge they could have and should have done more. I see from a recent post, Sales were... — read more 

Good luck, TD. But I fear it's too late now. When I worked there years ago, I remember the CTO — in his Hawaiian shirt — confidently denying the relevance of Cloud technology, while senior Solution Architects nodded along like it was gospel. I felt... — read more 

TDC stock lower than IPO 18 years ago. Dismal and depressing company. Who still works there? Must be a grind every day.

Tools down guys, first round June and second round July. AEs with no pipeline, overlays and underperforming BUs are gone first then marketing. Deeper cuts in July. Reliable senior source. Stop working now and get your CV out. The ELT has gone too... — read more 

I’ve worked myself into the ground trying to prove I’m enough, and for what? To be ignored while others coast by on favoritism? I’m done chasing approval from people who never intended to give it. From now on, let them complain. I won’t be bending... — read more 

The environment is so toxic these days, we can’t get anything done because so many people have been let go. I personally have IT tickets pending for 3 months. God help you if you need to find an SE to help spec a sale. No leads from marketing. Every... — read more 

I posted an honest view of the challenges at TD yesterday and within several hours it was removed. A company fails not purely on strategy but also the incompetence of those charged with the responsibility of driving success through growth. When... — read more

There’s been a rumor going around for a while. June is just around the corner.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out where things have gone wrong at Teradata. The company has a history of the leadership rewarding incompetent employees by promoting them into roles that require strategic vision. This is evident in EMEA... — read more 

I worked for Teradata for a number of years, was there for the VL & OR era. I was part of the rif end of last year. There is a lot of disgust with the ELT on this board. The blame starts and ends with the BOD. They hired and continue to support these... — read more

You heard it here first

Does that mean we're safe for now?

Should we read anything in to the new CFO John Ederer's experience of the "successful sale" of his previous company? Not the only one either and specifically called out in the announcement.

Congratulations to TD executives for continuing to ride a once-great down the drain.

Microsoft shares jump on earnings, revenue beat as Azure cloud business grows 33%. Huge market and TD sinks. Management is a disgrace.

Management rule with fear, constantly blaming others for their shortcomings. This is not the fault of the managers, it’s the fear of loosing their job. Layoff after layoff after layoff. We must be below 5,000 people from 10,000 a few years ago. ”I’ve... — read more 

They have laid off so many people, it is impossible to get anything done. It’s now bone deep. Before people would long finger your requests, now they laugh.
