Did the Oak Brook site close or did they just relocate?

Not that I blame people for leaving this place... But I do blame the company for being in no hurry to hire replacements for many of them, so we end up with twice more work than we are supposed to have - and not enough time to do it all. If this... —  read more

Just as there was the open target of JG it is understood that DW has the cross hairs on DC. The word is lots of back room discussions with shareholders and stakeholders with a public "not true". You just never know, given the recent talent choices... —  read more 

Someone mentioned on this board yesterday that layoffs are happening in Zug due to the closure of the office there. As far as I can see, none of the other posters commented on that or gave any more details. Is the Zug office really closing? Has that... —  read more

How about Sales? I heard they are gonna be next This was asked by @11lyU62q-1ydg in a reply to a different topic. I wanted to ask a wider range of people the same question, so I made it a thread. Has anybody heard about Sales being hit in the... —  read more 

Eagan-based Technology (~175 folks) is being shut down by Q3 2020. Sounds like most end dates were not until at least Dec. 31, 2019. Some folks have been offered relocation, which sounds like St. Louis being the main transfer spot. Made into a... —  read more 

Sounds like Q4 2019 is going to be another bloodbath. So starting a separate thread for the latest wave of Q4 2019 layoff notices to avoid posts getting buried in other posts. And reposting some notices from @11jP4X34 as well. Over 400... —  read more

Rumours of someone walked out of the building yesterday and today a change on the Refinitiv Executive Team page.

Looks like an announcement very soon on tie up with London Stock Exchange. Any one got any news on this, other than what is on main news sites (including Reuters ) ? Sit tight, it's all going to kick off again.

I know that this is not "layoff" news but those of us who have been laid off might be interested in knowing that Talent Solutions Group Inc is a recruiting agency for Refinitiv (in Brookfield, Wisconsin at least). I caught 2 initial postings on the... —  read more 

Bloomberg was kicking TR/refinitiv’s butt for a long time. Leaner, meaner, smarter people, better products. Is that still the case?
