Thread regarding Thomson Reuters layoffs

@OP+1jj1mzx74 sending love ❤️ stay strong , I thought I am the only one but there is more people out there who feel " unseen, unvalued,demorilzed "

@OP+1jj1mzx74 - don't confuse non-monetary rewards as indicators of achievement. When you're an employee, only work to the level you're paid to do.

Anything extra that might be of interest, like taking an offered training course, needs to be considered through the lens of your own professional growth that you can take with you to your next opportunity.

The only people who make money at TR is the T family and the ELT. Work for your own wealth, not theirs.

President Club = Achieved

Learn to let go. It’s hard. We have been trained to believe that if we put in the effort we will be rewarded.

You can be rewarded. Just not here!

Understand the system is deigned not for you but for the company.

You will still get AIP even if you don’t put in all those extra hours.

Do the math on your bonus in terms of hourly.

Let’s say you can earn 10k on your AIP at 100%. If you put in 5 hours extra a week all year. Thats 260 hours for the year.

So that means 10000/260=$38.46 /hour

But that’s not really true. Those extra hours did not get you 10k. They might have gotten you the 20% more of your 80%.

So it really was (2000/260) $7.69 /hour

Yeah so think about it. Those extra hours you put in. Are they really worth it?

Reduce the stress and invest your time into your health, family, side gig, etc.

It just pays more.

@OP+1jj1mzx74 I am with you i have the same. Will not be giving anything more from myself this year, and for sure the toxic standards they've created is disgusting and feel sick when I think about their management style.

Performance reviews are a box ticking exercise, a whole team can all bust themselves all going above and beyond and at the end of the day they have to bell curve it out. The breakdown is something like partially achieved (5%) achieved (80%) exceeds (10%) far exceeds (5%). Those are the buckets of how many can fit inside those ratings on a given team. Therefore 1 person in most teams could be far exceeds, the bulk have to sit in achieved. Again it’s a made up system and really going above and beyond doesn’t pan out cause of the bell curve or calibration as they call it, to remove the negative that comes with calling it a bell curve. Whatever you call it at the end of the day they curving it out in their favour.

I’ve always gotten 100% AIP and more than 0-1% with achieved.

"The economy is in shambles" - Current unemployment rate stands at 4.1%, just saying. But the part about Achieved is all true. You can be a really "high" achieved and still get a raise that's not significantly different from a colleague who phoned it in all year.
