It’s a bit of a surprise she was the first one of the current C-level bunch… or is it? 🤷‍♂️

Good luck SM and CB spinning a plausible story on 11 Feb. What version of the truth will you tell this time? Surely a CEO is responsible for strategy and execution but you couldn’t come up with your own plan when you got the job so you hired a... — read more 

“ Teradata Corporation faces significant challenges that could hinder its long-term success, including increasing competition from cloud-native data analytics and storage providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Snowflake. As enterprises shift... — read more 

Just saw that some BDR's in APAC have been let go. Not that they were widly successful as they spent much of their time explaining to prospects that Teradata was still in business, but it again demonstrates that as revenue dries up, no new logo's are... — read more 

and folks come to work for TD. So wondering, is the market this bad, so there are no choices, or do they know something we, who want to leave, don't?

There was a layoff today. Does anyone know roughly how many and which departments? Any big names?

“We cheer for all companies solving complex business issues, but in the case of Teradata, we’ll be cheering from the sidelines. With its shares lagging the market recently, the stock trades at 1.7× forward price-to-sales (or $30.59 per share). While... — read more 

SM, the ELT, and the Board are well compensated for just milking the cow. There is no governance, so nothing will change until the cow dies, and the cow will live on life support the next 3-5 years. It will be miserable for the average employee so... — read more 

Now the DEI will be a thing of the past, any predictions on what SM will do?

Has Teradud announced when it will release its 2024 numbers? Should be fun. I can’t wait to see how Marketing, which has nothing to market, and PR, which has nothing worth saying, will spin it. I image the sycophants are already crawling up the... — read more 

Our HR training says diverse organizations perform better. Thanks goodness for DEI at TDC. Imagine how bad our results would be without it…our stock would be under $20. HA, KCC, and JW saved our company!

I get the bean counters are losing their minds trying to make this dog hunt.

I was watching the Warriors vs Clippers game tonight, when what did my wondering eyes see but a bunch of TDC logos all over the backboard and sideline! I had to rewind and check cuz I was d-mbfounded. How long has this been going on ? And who is... — read more 

There will be a round, for sure. TD has already proven that they lack capacity to resort to anything but layoffs when facing bad results. God forbid they would actually come up with a growth plan. But maintenance mode also doesn't cut it, especially... — read more 

Your 2025 resolution should be to get out of Teradata and get a job with a future. Good luck!

With a very bad end of Q4 incoming, we typically see cuts in early Jan. Many reps are not even at 50% of quota so the revenue numbers will be in reverse. We've seen cuts in so many areas, it's hard to see where else they can cut. Anyone have any... — read more 

Databricks just announce another round of VC money with a company valuation of $62B. Between Snowflake and Databricks (both of whom are taking market share away from Teradata), they dwarf the market cap of Teradata. How much longer can the company... — read more 

The posts over the past year have highlighted the many issues with the Board, management, and lack of competitive, differentiated products. Many would like to see this once-great company return to some level of market success; however ... the "fix"... — read more 

Watching the once great Mike Tyson attempt to fight the younger more agile Jake Paul, it was like watching Teradata try to fight Snowflake, Redshift, and Databricks. It’s pitiful and I feel sorry for the average employee still stuck there. The ELT... — read more 

Engineering is still hiring just two months after a round of layoffs. I'm not sure what the strategy behind this might be.

...after earnings has a market cap 20x Teradata's . They should buy TD, migrate the remaining customers, and call it a day.

Wonder how that happened considering what a dog it is.

Terrible management always blames you for everything and never has your back. Work-life balance doesn’t exist anymore, and the expectations are completely unrealistic. The team is understaffed, meaning we're expected to pick up the slack without... — read more 

Did I hear that right? SM starts with "Beware & buckle up"... not a great positive way to start!!

Now under $30. Wow, how can any company that is a self-described “analytics leader” perform so poorly in a hot growth market? Bain and McKinsey should give us a refund. Executive bonuses should be revenue based. All they do is RIF people to reduce... — read more 

I’ve been trying for months now, and the job market hasn’t been kind to me. There are options, if push comes to shove, but not many actually good ones. At the same time I just can’t convince myself into staying with TD. We have been in decline for so... — read more

Hillary is leaving the ship, as announced in the earnings call.

Anyone would care to chime in with a prediction about potential Teradata layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

When will severance be paid? Returned my equipment, signed the letter. What else?

If you remain at TD, describe the morale now. Is it positive and if not, why not? What/who needs to change?

Will TDC continue the trend on the next earnings call? Any insight? I know SM will soon “cloud ARR” growth, but I’m asking total revenue growth.

What teams were impacted during this round of layoffs? I wonder if they targeted seniors and high-payers to cut down on the costs.
