Teradata is no different than any legacy software company. It isn’t someone’s fault - they live qtr to qtr without regard to the innovation surrounding them. New co’s have a distinct advantage! Old co’s trying to become New co’s are rarely... —  read more 

Do you believe leadership will not be able to determine individual responses?

Anyone else notice that OR's glass door rating doubled in the last two days. Clearly marketing is filing all of it's reviews. How about we return the favor.

I’m from HR and is amazing how many employee are living in addition to people fired. I believe an AVG of 40 and office are empty

Yes, and the reason for the constant doom and gloom is because of rolling layoffs -- meaning they never really end. There might be 15 laid off here and 25 laid off there virtually anywhere at any time. This. Layoffs are taking place at Teradata every... —  read more 

Hearing about a bunch of people in Americas Professional Services that were laid of today. Those that i know of were in the CIM/RTIM group. Not sure about others. Anyone else hear?

FYI - after receiving several bills for COBRA even though I never registered, I emailed HR and was told because they screwed up last year's layoffs, everyone that was fired in Jan was automatically enrolled in COBRA and that if I don't want it, don't... —  read more 

Ever since Eric Tom was appointed the C-suite has collected people with simply the wrong set of values. They do not care about the customers and they do not care about the people. They're only about cutting cost and increasing prices: gee, if it's... —  read more

Growth is necessary. If no growth, no talent. If there is growth, opportunities open up, new departments, more headcount, more maneuvering space, new projects, new product, careers flourish. If there is no growth, all land and property is taken... —  read more 

Successful technology companies grow revenue. Today there is very little focus on winning new logos versus prior management team who drove stock to $80. In addition, there will be significant revenue leakage from accounts below top 500 who will be... —  read more 

TD is doomed because the CEO vision was excellent 20 Years ago. Trasformation require intelligence people not only a famous consulting firm. The best TD R&D is gone ... only the traveler Steve repeat story that are good for students not for CIO. —  read more 

Is this the first step for SAP and teradata to a unified transformation front to go in together in a huge M&A transaction that will disrupt the industry. Consulting needs to go first then it’s all business. —  read more 

Any layoffs planned for GDCs..PAK, Prague and India..any insights.Who will be affected ? On bench folks or just higher salary people will let go.

I look at the hirings of young employees as a part of a bigger plan to make the company look more attractive if it becomes the object of acquisition. I think they are going to demand from the older long-time employees to train the new ones and once... —  read more 

The result of this lay-off if that office are now oversized. In Germany I believe that some locations will be closed and in Prague all will move in one floor . People will end in Feb but are already gone. How is the situation in other place? —  read more

September layoffs like August, under the number that requires reporting to SEC. Package offer is 1 week severance per year, subsidized COBRA, but I heard that some people negotiated the package. Don't know how much success they had.

Rumors of RIF is still going around. I fear that I am next to be canned. I am exploring other job opportunities but these things take time. I hope I can jump ship with a life raft before I am push over with one. Sad to see this company go down.

How likely is this?

Hermann got let go today. After Rocky this is the next big one. Koehler has stepped in but his days are numbered too.

This is hopefully not just a rant but a reasoned view. I have been in and out of Teradata for almost 15 years finally leaving some time back. This is what i see is wrong , in no particular order. You can't tell someone they're doing it wrong if what... —  read more
