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?
Layoffs today - anyone have details?
There was a layoff today. Does anyone know roughly how many and which departments? Any big names?
StockStory is not a fan
“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
2025 Strategy - Milk the Dying Cow
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
DEI-2025
Now the DEI will be a thing of the past, any predictions on what SM will do?
2024 results
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
DEI at TDC - Smart Business Decision
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!
Lipstick on a pig
I get the bean counters are losing their minds trying to make this dog hunt.
Advertising at Clippers games ?
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
I’m indifferent about Jan layoffs
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
New Years Resolution
Your 2025 resolution should be to get out of Teradata and get a job with a future. Good luck!
Where the next cuts are coming from
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
TDC Market Cap versus others
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 Fix Is In
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
Teradata - The Mike Tyson of Analytics
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
TDC Still Hiring
Engineering is still hiring just two months after a round of layoffs. I'm not sure what the strategy behind this might be.
Snowflake
...after earnings has a market cap 20x Teradata's . They should buy TD, migrate the remaining customers, and call it a day.
Wow! TDC is getting good press
Wonder how that happened considering what a dog it is.
TD is the worst
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
Company All Hands Today...
Did I hear that right? SM starts with "Beware & buckle up"... not a great positive way to start!!
TDC Stock Lower Than 10 Years Ago
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
What’s your experience with job hunt?
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
Total ARR Decreased - Revenue Flat at $440M
Don't buy the spin - this company has hit a hard ceiling and will probably never break $2B in annual revenue again. Hard to believe that over 40 years in a high growth segment of the industry and differentiated software for many years that it is in... — read more
CPO shown the door
Hillary is leaving the ship, as announced in the earnings call.
Teradata Layoffs 2025
Anyone would care to chime in with a prediction about potential Teradata layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Severance payment
When will severance be paid? Returned my equipment, signed the letter. What else?
To those who remain, is the culture a positive experience?
If you remain at TD, describe the morale now. Is it positive and if not, why not? What/who needs to change?
Revenue Still Declining?
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.
Teradata now finally has a CTO
Teradata finally has a CTO that is not a contractor. However the named was promoted to the role and does not actually have CTO experience. What do we think of this... — read more
It’s a risky bet TD is making
TD might be laser-focused on cutting costs by replacing older workers with younger, cheaper talent, but they’re missing a huge point. The new hires are all about strict job descriptions and protecting their personal time at all cost. Not to mention... — read more
What AIP bonus?!
In current circumstances this information sounds most probably irrelevant. Those poor sods who are on AIP bonus should expect it to be cut to about 20% at best. There is some good news too... CB and her pals will keep their RSU's and will happily... — read more
The Layoffs will continue until Teradata discovers their customer’s needs
Today we chase whatever trend is driving the news cycle. We are not chasing the customer’s needs. We are no their trusted partner/friend. We have no Sales/Marketing team embedded with customers or prospects. No one working with a customer/prospect... — read more
Back to having to pick up work after those who were laid off
I don’t even know how many rounds of layoffs I already survived. Chaos always follows, and the never ending adjustment of crippled teams. I’ve had enough. I’m not taking on the workload. Not my problem. I’ll just be collecting my paycheck from now... — read more
What excuses are next?
When the next quarterly numbers are released and they are flat/down, what believable explanation can the ELT offer? What can they possibly point to in terms of net-new logos, increased revenues, or new business opportunities? After their latest round... — read more
Corporate Age
Why doesn’t anyone talk about corporate age? Why is the entire leadership team including directors and managers all in their 40s and 50s when, in the same breath, they say “We’re going to hire younger talent with new ideas.” These managers... — read more
Impact & Teams
What teams were impacted during this round of layoffs? I wonder if they targeted seniors and high-payers to cut down on the costs.
Back to work….
For those lucky ones to survive yet another layoff it is back to work, if for nothing more than a paycheck. The ship remains rudderless but we keep rowing.
Wake up BOD
Your executive team's strategy is to cut and layoff and to buy back shares. this is a death spiral. where's the promised growth from this seasoned CEO that was hired?
Please, lay me off
Give me a chance to volunteer. I want out. There are more who feel the same way I do. Why not take advantage of that?
Layoffs will last this whole week?
I’m torn between needing the job and wishing to be laid off. It’s clear that TD is going nowhere, so there is no point in staying, really. But I need at least a few more months of job search in order to find a replacement that’s decent. Most jobs... — read more
