another round coming in Q1. Can anybody confirm this?
What is Betanxt?
What exactly is Betanxt?
4th quarter '22
Surprised to not find anything about this on this page. 80-100 people in the UK given redundancy packages. Not sure about how many in the other locations. The £50m additional cost synergies promised to investors had to come from somewhere.
Evaluated Pricing LSEG- do not apply
I have been working for this group for some time. Just recently I decided to look for another job and I have to say that most of the things said in these threads are true. Just a few facts: in 2018 almost 50 % of the staff was layoff and the roles... — read more
Evaluated Pricing
Would someone please provide me some history on this group and the Ft. Mill, SC location strategy? I’m looking at a number of job postings on Indeed—corporates, munis, derivative valuation leads and some analysts are being hired. Also, how is the... — read more
Nepotism In US
I’m a little surprised to not to see anything about nepotism. I was really surprised when I started at Refinitiv in the US how many relatives of fellow employees worked within the company and reported within the same organization. On one call with... — read more
Colleagues who left said it was a great move
I'm still in contact with some of my colleagues who left, and they all wonder what I'm still waiting for. None of them regretted leaving Refinitiv in the slightest. People finally got some relief. I would really like to hear from someone who... — read more
BetaNXT
Can anyone explain BetaNXT? Did LSEG sell-off the BETA price of Refinitiv?
Just waiting for the package?
There are almost no reasons worth staying here anymore. I'm still here only because I don't want to miss the package.
Strangely quiet
It is very quiet here. Usually when it's quiet, something bad is actually happening. I hope that's not the reason!?
Annual layoff bonanza about to start
Rumours they want to cut 20% payroll costs in D&A, not sure if that’s across the board or just some functions.
Culture
Never laughed so much as I have over the last few days. Various Town Halls blabbering on about how good the culture. Oh my god are they blind. I’ve never seen so many people unhappy and furious as decisions being made. Lots of very talented... — read more
Managers need training
Most of the managers here have terribly bad managerial skills. The biggest mistake is that they approach everyone the same, they manage by fear. It is interesting to me that they still haven't realized that they will achieve better results by... — read more
TF
Anyone got a clue how TF remains in charge of customer services? Never met a man who spills so much BS and breaks so many promises.
The amount of work
I feel anxious and overwhelmed by a mountain of work. I have been working here for several years and I have never had more work to do. I hoped that it would only be temporary, however, no, I am getting more and more work all the time. How busy... — read more
Why does Refinitiv keep bad managers?
It is very difficult for me to answer that question, because it is not at all clear to me why a company would sabotage itself with such incompetent people in managerial positions.
innovation is dead at LSEG
Learnt today that the innovation group is being disbanded, more amazing talent leaving the company, continued stream of best talent moving on to other companies due to incompetent management unable to recognise innovative thought leadership.at best... — read more
L&G Pension (UK)
Anyone seeing issues with their (and the employers) contributions for the new L&G pension plan?
Evaluated Pricing update
New boss, more resignations and the same director doing whatever he wants. Municipal Team: evaluators and managers close to the market are gone. This happened as a consequence of a the relationship between the interim Muni director and one person... — read more
Changes in the COO office
Comments / Thoughts from the recent announcements and movements?
Evaluated Pricing -It did it again
The municipal team had 4 resignations in the last 3 months. Another great evaluator is leaving next week. Only two experts left. The Bear Sterns crew is looking for a Municipal Evaluations Manager. We are sure they are not looking for talent... — read more
You all are being too hard on Refinitiv
You all are being hard on Refinitiv - I worked there for a year and a half and it was pretty great. Actually, I should say I "worked" there for a half a year. They had some pretty awful projects and there wasn't much real work going on. The last... — read more
How many of you would give your manager a passing grade if you got a chance to rate them?
I've had three managers since I started working here three years ago and I'm not sure which one was more incompetent.
Refinitiv is a sinking ship
Nobody is happy, everybody is overworked and underappreciated. The increases we get - if we get them - are so low they don't even cover a third of the inflation. No matter how hard you work you will not be rewarded by the management - all they will... — read more
TCS = Poison
Anyone being offered a position at TCS do yourself a favor and decline. They are an absolute sh!tshow of a company. Mangaement/HR the worst.
Evaluated Pricing Location Strategy
Evaluated Pricing also known as TRPS, is going to start moving NY heads to South Carolina. They have picked the perfect person to execute this new strategy. New municipal roles will be hired in Costa Rica and Fort Mills. The job market is good for... — read more
Amazing results today
Share price up, bonuses up based on the results, wasn’t expecting that after all the negativity. Man, my bonus way bigger than I expected. My Mrs is gonna be so happy.
Everybody I talk to mentions they are looking for a new job
I'm yet to find one person who's not planning to leave as soon as they can. What's going on here? I know things are not great but I don't think they're that bad either. Is it simply because the job market is so good right now that people don't want... — read more
Going to direct competitor
I am so happy about getting an offer. The manager really was a nightmare. However, now that I have received an offer, I am worried because it is a direct competitor. I guess there shouldn't be any complications resulting from that? I hope not. — read more
Poland union situation ?
Heard rumours the leader is not working anymore, really shocked and surprise to hear that. Anyone know situation? Not getting any answers in Warsaw.
ex-Refinitiv TCS tupeed employees, NDA
rumours are that TCS have asked some (but not all) UK based ex Refinitiv Tupeed staff to sign an NDA. does anyone have any more info around this and why the devide?
RPF leavers party!
As ex Reuters staff process what is happening to their RPF pension, how many will just give up on the job? All that experience and project knowledge lost in a short period. Great move LSEG but at least you’ll save money and we won’t be missed because... — read more
Just play the ball with Leadership. So refreshing.
So I'm in this company for a long time 15 years+. I'm a mid-level manager. I cared a lot for the product, service, customer experience over the years. An I felt I got support from leadership team. Until Blackstone came. It got worse. But I thought... — read more
-5% annual salary merit decrease on real terms due to synergy target (US and other high inflation countries)
On one of the townhalls Q&A the question was asked: "Most countries have high inflation (US is 7%) while annual salary increases are 1.75-2.25%. How is the company to retain talent with -5% annual decreases on real term". Answer by leadership: "We... — read more
Attrition is out of control
It's worse than I could have even imagined. We lost more than half of our team in the last three months. Getting their positions backfilled is not going great, either. I don't know if it's the lack of good candidates or if the management is not even... — read more
They don't need talents
I think that those who have a bigger skillset and more talent think they are safer here. It is quite certain that this company no longer wants talented people. If it were otherwise, Refinitiv would do its best to keep them. Do you agree? It's a... — read more
Bonus payment UK only
This just relates to Uk as I know it’s different all over. How does the new grading system affect bonuses this year? Thought I read something somewhere but can’t find it.

So if I am going to hand my notice in and I do it before March but am still in notice period till end of April will I still get my bonus or is it best to hold off until beginning of April to hand notice in
