Salary increases will be way below inflation in the US, UK, Hong Kong and other high cost centers. Members of LSEG Exco believe that employee engagement could increase with recognition bonus points. The equivalent of gift cards. So you might be... —  read more 

I was put on PIP and it was a big surprise for me because I worked more than ever. So I guess there is no reliable way to survive PIP? For private reasons, the worst thing that could happen to me at the moment would be to lose my job. I would love... —  read more 

Is everyone graded underperforming in one area automatically put on PIP?

A coworker who is one of the hardest working men I know was recently put on PIP. He has been butting heads with our manager for a while, so that could explain it. He believes there's no beating this and is already looking for a new job. I'm wondering... —  read more 

People looking to advance their career at Refinitiv don't need to focus on working hard, but on kissing the right butts. Make sure that your manager knows he can't do wrong, that every idea that comes out of his mouth is fantastic, that he deserves... —  read more 

I know some people are staying because of severance and frankly, I think that's a huge mistake. Severance never lasts as long as you hope it will. I know, I've been laid off from another company before. Right now, with the job market as good as it... —  read more 

So all exreuters UK staff will have their redundancy benefits reduced in line with LSEG. That the thanks you get for surviving the last 13 years of reorg after reorg. Note this only happened after the cleanout of management after the lseg... —  read more 

The previous meeting invite had a sli.do link. Some very interesting and embarrassing Qs were asked, and I was looking forward to the townhall, to see how the Qs get answered. Many on DS's 25% sal jump vs. the poor stock price performance, some on... —  read more 

I'm interested to get a feel for the forum and understand what other posters here see as the main benefit of TheLayoff - is it to learn about potential layoffs, to gossip, to vent at HR and management etc. This questionnaire is completely anonymous... —  read more 

I was listening with 1 ear due to a lot of work (Tue this week), but remember this: 1st part with both AS and DS participating: all is great, growth is good, future looks awesome, we will fire some more people in some areas, but give them... —  read more 

Those who complain about everything here? I don't want to sound sarcastic, but I'm really interested in why people who obviously don't like anything here don't leave? Especially now, when it's easy to find a new job. Perhaps I'm wrong, maybe for some... —  read more 

Any news if this is happening this year?

Is it possible that I don't know anyone who has left here, or got cut, that isn't much better off now than they were at Refinitiv? I intend to leave, but first I asked my former colleagues a little about their new companies because I know that no... —  read more 

Is it only my own experience? I've been choosing my own next work challenges not to get bored to death, zero signs of any kind of leadership from anywhere...

Is it possible to get a layoff.com page up for LSEG? How? Can anyone do this?

good read for those too busy (99,99% of us) to track what's been happening, check the comments too: https://www.ft.com/content/0c7c6931-9f56-4e43-87cf-91422630a146#comments-anchor

I don't understand those who have been complaining for months and years, and they are still here. I'm not saying this company is ideal, but it's not all that bad. There are also people who have regretted going to other companies, having convinced... —  read more 

New survey is out, described as confidential, then you have to enter your email and birth date to complete it - WTF?

Those who have no other option Those who need little experience Those you don't like To no one

OK, I understand that it's hard to make yourself indispensable to Refinitive, but I'm wondering what to do to stay marketable and irresistible to a new prospective employer after a long time here? _______ I have colleagues who, after 5, 6, 7 years... —  read more 

They probably think that it is unnecessary to motivate employees in some way. I guess they think that having a job is motivation enough in itself. I gotta admit, I don't even know what more could be done to boost the morale here? Even if they gave... —  read more 

It’s okay to be dissatisfied and look for something better. However, I have worked in several companies in this industry and I can say that none of them were much better. It all depends on someone's priorities. Someone will say that it is much... —  read more 

I don’t think I’ve ever worked more than I have in the last year. However, they judged me to be underperforming. I worked more extra hours than ever. Of course, for nothing. If I gave 100 percent of myself in the past, during this year I gave 120... —  read more 

This is the worst. Day in day out I work here even though I don't feel any satisfaction and yet after the workday ends I just... drift through the rest of the day. I know the only way for me to get a better job is by improving myself in one way or... —  read more 

No sense in continuing to do extra work for nothing. My manager has noticed that I no longer work as much as I did before and I'm expecting to hear his criticism,,,,,,, Everything I have done so far will probably be belittled, because this company... —  read more 

So if someone gets graded underperforming because every manager has a target if 10% of staff underperforming. What happens next? If for some reason they decide to stay in role and not leave will they be made redundant? If they are in impossible role... —  read more 

Has there been any info on more layoffs that has been confirmed by an official source?

I'd rather work for a company that CFTC hasn't ordered to pay a civil monetary penalty for swap data reporting failures, so I wouldn't have to read news like this: The regulator added that Refinitiv was aware or had reason to suspect that this was... —  read more 

I'm totally disappointed with this company. Refinitiv's main strategy seems to be cost cutting and I'm wondering where will such a strategy take it?

I absolutely understand all those who say they don’t give their best because it’s not worth much here. However, I'm not sure what it means when someone says that they do the bare minimum. In my case, that minimum - what needs to be done - is still a... —  read more 

Here's some honest, if painful advice. Start working on your resume and looking for a new job, if only for your own sanity. The senior leadership are jumping off with their golden parachutes and don't give a flying cr*p about you. Your superior... —  read more 

What are my chances of being cut next month?

I don't understand how they think it is sustainable, whenever someone leaves their work passes on to those who remain. Ever since my colleague left, his job has been done mostly by me. Now there is a person who was supposed to be a replacement but... —  read more 

I was made redundant last year. With the redundancy package and a job in a lot better company with management who know what they are doing, I’m so happy now. Don’t worry there is a better world outside Refinitiv! Those of you who are working... —  read more 

I'm getting more and more worried each day.

DC gone, DW retiring, ED leaving next year... What are your thoughts on this?

It's my second anniversary with Refinitiv this week and trust me when I tell you it hasn't been fun in any way, shape, or form. Maybe I got unlucky, but between an as----e manager who uses fear as a management technique and constant increases in work... —  read more 

October is a month away, anyone worried?

What’s Refinitiv’s reputation like at the moment after 3 plus outages this year? Guess LSEG must be having buyers regret now.

I am looking for a new job. I am beyond frustrated. Once someone announces their departure, there's no recruitment and no knowledge transfer. There's no planning, only putting out proverbial dumpster fires. Will the management ever wake up, or will... —  read more
