Thread regarding Thomson Reuters layoffs

thelayoff getting lots of traffic from TR IPs - thus rate limiting/blocking?

Some folks getting messages like this from thelayoff.com

Error 1015

You are being rate limited

The owner of this website (www.thelayoff.com) has banned you temporarily from accessing this website.

Probably because everyone in TR appears to the outside world as coming from the same set of IPs.

So thelayoff.com is protecting itself from what seems like an attack (of people desperate to know what's going on).

Likely not TR doing the blocking :)

It seems to be a contractor/not contractor thing at our office, so I'm guessing different settings/profiles would have something to do with it.

I don't think there's anything fundamentally nefarious going on though! As someone else said, just use your phone!

Send the ip to the mods they will whitelist you

Just do it on your phone - I am not using TRs connection for this kind of browsing
