Thread regarding Thomson Reuters layoffs

What are we looking at next week?

How bad will the next week be? Looks like many people believe that notifications will go out on the 8th, but I'm not so sure (although I've been wrong about stuff like that before.)

In any case, I plan to really take advantage of this weekend, because it doesn't look I'll get a chance to properly relax for some time after this.

I heard headcount will be reduced from 550 to 300 in bangkok. US holiday today so no news yet. Most likely have to wait for emea and us side to be in operation for the ball to start rolling.

Well they wanted to coordinate the whole process with UK and could be right that Tuesday is the fateful day to coincide with US late announcements as well....

In addition to Bangalore, big hits will happen that week in Bangkok, Poland, Manila and Beijing too.

St Louis will see an impact this week, big hit there! London so I have been reliably informed will be severely hit Tuesday and Wednesday, I don’t have any info on NY as no colleagues have had initial HR chats about staff in that location yet.. and surprisingly some hits in Bangalore also, but think these are the week of the 15th...

I think it’s going to be brutal in NYC and St.Louis on the 8th. Just a feeling. Been through it in 2016 and it was awful and this feels worse. Just stay calm or as calm as you can be.
