Splurge before Layoffs

Possible! events in EU/US/APJ. CxO travel across the world. And then Headquarter ‘celebration event’( Google general availability ). Very insensitive to celebrate with folks that you are letting go shortly

Possible 2024

From 7 Possible events "We're going to the customer all over the world" to 2 this year. Besides being the WORST name for an event ever, now the rumors are that trouble is brewing regarding attendees and no customers want to agree to speak.

Redundancy List?

When will the redundancy list be shared? This uncertainty is negatively impacting productivity. Also it will be nice to understand what a severance package can look like. For those who have been through layoffs with Teradata, what was the severance... — read more 

Are you also hoping to be laid off?

This has become the most depressing place. I’ve recently started looking for another job. If it all works out as I hope, being simultaneously laid off would be a win-win.

Now we're being told to not be so negative

Managers are calling staff and telling them to cheer up and stop being negative about the product/culture. Is this the new mandate being handed down? We've got a cr-p product, our processes are cumbersome and it takes ages to get a response back to... — read more 

SM - The Ryan Leaf of the Analytics Industry

The last time a San Diego organization had a bust this big was when the Chargers put their money and faith in a rookie quarterback. Teradata’s rookie CEO is as big a bust. All we got was DEI, RIFs, and declining revenue. At least Leaf moved to San... — read more 

Time to leave

By now, if you’re not even applying for new jobs, you’re intentionally choosing to ignore what’s going on. Don't do that to yourself or your family, because you're guaranteed to find the rug pulled from underneath you. Stay alert and be ready to move... — read more 

Another customer moving to Databricks

Today my major customer announced they were moving to Databricks. There are nine months until the renewal date and that is their target. I am now assuming this will put me on the local Redundancy list. Just sit and watch and wait it out.

TD is such a toxic workplace

Even when we ignore constant layoffs, the work environment has become unbearable. The work drama never stops. The management is, mildly put, clicky and treats everybody outside of their inner circle poorly. The rest of us are not treated like human... — read more 

SM Raked in $15M for What???

This is insane. Average workers making $100-200K get laid off to pay SM this much? As Chief Executive Officer at TERADATA CORP, Stephen McMillan made $14,732,749 in total compensation. Of this total $800,000 was received as a salary, $950,000 was... — read more 

I’m not committing

Let them figure out first who they are going to lay off. Then I’ll wait to see if they come up with the strategy that can save TD. By the time I can actually consider committing, I would have probably found another job and be gone from here for good... — read more 

Voluntary Redundancy?

Why don’t they ask people to volunteer to leave with an agreed severance?

What idi*t asked about WFH?

And of course it would have to be the last question of the call.... to finish, so to say, on a very positive note... smells HR all over it...

Golden parachute

Half of these guys on stage are seriously making arrangements to trigger their golden parachutes but we are told to keep our heads down and work. Such nonsense!

Captain Cost

He seems so disoriented or disorientated since we are a global company ;). Is he justifying his job and position or coaching us. What a joke.

Final countdown (revised) !!

To avoid bankruptcy, TDC must urgently overhaul its strategy. One more year of apathy and delays, and the lights will go out for good. It's easy to agree on one thing: AI has launched Data Management & Analytics into an interstellar orbit, where... — read more

Too late, too bad !

AI is everywhere. For Data Orchestration and Analytics, it’ becomes a pivotal piece of technology. No way to escape. Hard to imagine TDC competing successfully against monster AI companies. Do not blame SM, HA, JW….or DEI. It’s tougherthan that... — read more 

If only we had a good leadership team

Cutting costs through layoffs is the only thing that McK can think of as a strategy. If only we had a leadership team that we admired and looked up to. A leadership team that provided vision and admitted when they make mistakes. Instead we are... — read more 

I'm mentally checked out

I don't care if I do my job well. I just don't care about anything work related anymore. I don't even care if I'm laid off or even fired. I'll move on. This actually feels liberating. Thanks, TD. I know this was not what you hoped for, but it's the... — read more 

Back to basics.

RIF is a common decision in any public company. Not being prepared to such an option is pure carelessness. So are negative posts following RIF announcements always relevant ? Any employee has indeed two options: being 100% loyal and committed to... — read more

Teradata Cares…About the CEO and ELT

Downright shameful how much they rake in while the ship sinks. The apathetic board just takes their comp for a few hours work each quarter and looks the other way. None of them even know our industry or technology. Would you put any of them in... — read more 

TDC - The Walking Dead

Ever see The Walking Dead? Reminds me of my time at Teradata. The zombies are the employees who get axed by the 10 minute HR phone call that appears on their calendar. The rest are just surviving until they get cut. The ELT is who needs to get cut... — read more
