Are any of you having Xmas parties? I don't think they are so much parties anymore, but rather a wake as we mourn those who were removed from their roles over the past 12 months. Ours was a very sad event with the sales director degrading everyone... — read more
TDC is $43.25/ sh -6+% on 2x+ daily vol - ELT insider selling? Bad news ahead?
TDC share price is $43.25, down more than 6% on over twice daily volume. NC and SB sold shares? or other ELT cashing out? Institutional investors catching on to the charade? It is about time. Even at the lower price, it is still at a 70+ PE... — read more
Next ELT to go?
Which grifter ELT should follow NC and SB out the door next? Each one have caused so much damage to the morale, culture, productivity, innovation, layoffs, and resource drain of this place. We'll take anyone of them next but just go sooner than... — read more
NC and SB Leaving
Announced this morning.
Why Teradud is laying off so many workers? McK guidance is one of major reason
No longer "our people are our greatest strength", McK is preaching middle management as the key asset of a company. They believe with generative AI, bulk of workers are expendable. Check out the links below. Teradud have been laying off mainly... — read more
Snowflake $2.6B, TDC $1.8B
Probably the best case study on a one time industry leader being blindsided by an innovative startup. Hard to believe after 45 years in a hot market TDC can’t break $$2B when Snowflake blew past it. This is what happens with mediocre, visionless... — read more

Thankful for exposing the realities and the egotistic management in the downward spiral
Many foresaw the charade that the current management is putting on. They predicted the demise of this place, no strategy or product, no new customers or growth in revenue, and continuous layoffs. All reality. The real blessing is exposing the self... — read more
It's not just the leadership...
I was laid off from TD on 11/1 after 2 years and I see all the blame about the poor leadership. IMHO the culture of TD,mostly from the long-timers is part of the blame for the downfall. I've never seen a more self-satisfied group waiting for... — read more
Excellent John Oliver's piece on McK - Recognize the methods they deploy here at TDC
Cut and paste into your browser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=tktUNwtIutt6Kdqy&v=AiOUojVd6xQ&feature=youtu.be. 25:30 in the video sums up McK's strategy for TDC. I can even imagine NC in one of these McK training videos. SM, NC, KCC, can we... — read more
Apparently, this round of layoffs not over yet...
The word is there will be some more in January, although not as numerous. If this is true.... this really becomes wtf???
Company call: SM, CB, JW working hard to put the brightest lipstick on it...
Only failing to understand that nothing they say will give confidence in their leadership and competence while they continue with layoffs every six months... and the argument that the market is changing is laughable when layoffs are not only in... — read more
Talking to an Empty Room with No-one Interested
Sums the company, the level of interest and the poor marketing up really well ;) https://x.com/Teradata/status/1724718891597734017?s=20
Is it too late to get out?
Several of my team members were riffed on Halloween, our future is uncertain and the mood here is one of dread. I would think this is what death row would be like hoping that when the executioner comes in he picks you so that you can leave this... — read more
Anyone know the age breakdown of Oct/Nov RIF?
Seems like a lot of long time employees were targeted, which would likely imply an age focused RIF. Just wondering what the % of those let go were 55 and older.
Why the WARN Act never gets triggered with every Teradata mass layoff
In 1988 the United States passed a federal labor law "Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) that requires employers with 100 or more employees to provide notification to employees 60 calendar days in advance of a mass... — read more
Layoffs still occurring
As of 11/6
Layoff Count
Does anyone know how many people were laid off on 10/31?
Has anyone in US gotten their separation agreement yet?
I was laid off 11/1 in the US and HR said the paperwork would be sent in a few days but my termination date is 11/10. Still nothing in my inbox about a Docusign
AI’s the name of lately ELT joke
RIF to enable investment in AI. TD hiring talented AI and ML engineers ? Let’s be serious ! Who would be an AI master and prefer TD to competition ? Only desperate AI losers would pay attention to (inexistant) TD AI job offers. AI party is... — read more
This one person's layoff could have saved ALL + future of TD !! - Look at a sample of What ELT gets
PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL November 8, 2021 Jacqueline Woods Dear Jacqueline, I am very pleased to extend you this offer of employment with Teradata Corporation and its affiliates (“Teradata” or the “Company”) as Chief Marketing Officer, based in... — read more
2 k !
2K employees being RiF’d ? Lot of emotion we all understand, but few precise numbers to analyse. Across Geos and Orgs, it’s time to come with numbers to rate the amplitude of the horrible and unprecedented massacre that has taken place.? We heared... — read more
Go woke, go broke
How many times have we seen the ELT over the past 2 years drone on and on about DEI? Now compare that to how many times they've actually commented on business challenges and how they are going to fix it? Yep, you got it right. DEI conversations... — read more
TeraDEAD - walking zombie for over 8 years now
It started in 2015 with the misguided transformation, worsen in 2017-2018 with departures of a whole generation of future engineers and leaders groomed to take over, and pass the point of no return in 2021 with RIF of experience and knowledgeable... — read more
A miracle or nothing
Teradata : from leading proudly the analytics database race to struggling painfully to catch up. The bell has rung; one more lap to go and race is over. Game’s over…unless a divine miracle. Who knows ? SMc raising the dead, HA walking on the sea... — read more
Why is ELT & underlings happy to do layoffs, getting big $, and being rewarded?
For the past 4 years, this ELT bunch has made so many bonehead moves and layoffs that continuously destroy this company. It is clear now that they were hired to dismantle the company by laying off people over time to not attract attention of age... — read more
Teradud ELT - infestation of the B team
Why would you want to be a part of this subpar team? From the top to the bottom, not who's who but who wanna be who. They failed at previous companies and are 1st timers in their current role, learning on the job. They are not fit for the real job... — read more
Is 2k the correct number?
That seems a bit high, but with TD you never know.
How would you rate CEO's performance and why?
I wander what folks will say on this forum, it's anon after all. There is so much praise on Glassdoor and the Board seems not to care. What's your evaluation?
ELT and supporters are clearly rattled and spooked by this board
There was a post yesterday from ELT supporter, if not NC or HR, trying to rebut posts on this board. It's been deleted. So it seems like they got admonished again for chiming in or their responses were too revealing and might be a legal liability... — read more
A message from the ceo
Confirms worldwide lay-offs in email to all staff. He couldn't explain why employees with more knowledge in the industry with more expertise than his ELT team were let go. This is a CEO managing a once great company into oblivion. His inexperience... — read more

The Board + ELT is setting up to sell Teradata
Literally, when was the last time you heard of a business do yearly layoffs for 4+ years. Then in the last year do 3+ rounds of layoffs? ELT is trying to cut expenses to make Teradata appealing to Buyers/VCs. It's time for current employees to face... — read more
RIF’d by TDC? You are lucky!
Ask yourself if TDC would be on your list of the Top 25 companies in tech you want to work for? Now you get to escape from this dying, woke, laggard and move on with your career. You may be sad or worried but you’ve been trapped and now you are set... — read more
Teradata, now becoming company that resembles a Circus run by clowns
Although clowns probably would do a better job than ELT
Another bites the dust
I joined the RIF also, out of the blue. Hearing that they need to reduce 2k staff globally from 7k total. If that is correct, then you aren't getting due settlement in my opinion.
ELT will continue to get bonuses and RSUs for failed strategy, decreased revenue, low morale, and layoffs
Only at TerribleData that this can happen. Constant failure by management and workers get the shaft. They will complete the week, congratulating themselves for a job well done is dispensing so many.
November 1st and they're still cutting
I got cut this morning. People say there's an HR backlog and many more are still pending.
If you've been laid off ...
If you can read, thank a teacher. If you enjoy your freedom, thank a vet. If you've been laid off from Terribledata, thank your lucky stars. You've been asking for divine guidance and now you know how much Terribledata value you. It's su-k what... — read more
