Thread regarding Thomson Reuters layoffs

WARN notices are frequently embargoed at first and may not always appear in public the day they are submitted. Ask Sears and Kmart employees about that. :-) The story could be completely credible. Just because you don't see WARN Act filings on the website yet doesn't disprove the story.

Sorry, I forgot to provide a link. Uncle Sam always cites his sources. He doesn’t doctor stuff.

What Triggers Notice (WARN)

Plant Closing: A covered employer must give notice if an employment site (or one or more facilities or operating units within an employment site) will be shut down, and the shutdown will result in an employment loss (as defined later) for 50 or more employees during any 30-day period. This does not count employees who have worked less than 6 months in the last 12 months or employees who work an average of less than 20 hours a week for that employer. These latter groups, however, are entitled to notice (discussed later).

Mass Layoff: A covered employer must give notice if there is to be a mass layoff which does not result from a plant closing, but which will result in an employment loss at the employment site during any 30-day period for 500 or more employees, or for 50-499 employees if they make up at least 33% of the employer's active workforce. Again, this does not count employees who have worked less than 6 months in the last 12 months or employees who work an average of less than 20 hours a week for that employer. These latter groups, however, are entitled to notice (discussed later).

An employer also must give notice if the number of employment losses which occur during a 30-day period fails to meet the threshold requirements of a plant closing or mass layoff, but the number of employment losses for 2 or more groups of workers, each of which is less than the minimum number needed to trigger notice, reaches the threshold level, during any 90-day period, of either a plant closing or mass layoff. Job losses within any 90-day period will count together toward WARN threshold levels, unless the employer demonstrates that the employment losses during the 90-day period are the result of separate and distinct actions and causes.

I guess no more annual luxurious President club trip.....:-(

Nothing filed in New York, though I have no idea how that works if they closed a whole office down.

A lot of Legal Tech layoffs today in Eagan. I haven’t gotten my meeting notice yet, but getting it soon I’m sure.

@W8ttyMS-wql That link for Michigan only shows notices before September 30.

How many in MSP today? We only suffered a few in Ann Arbor yesterday but there are worries that more are in the pipeline.

This is a doctored article, a hodgepodge of alsoke real articles and the author’s edits. Fascinating l, but not helpful.

The departments in Eagan include Publishing Editorial and Legal Technology.

what departments/groups in msp?

Lay offs happening today in MSP location in Legal. I know, I’m one of them.

There is nothing listed for WARN notifications for Michigan: http://milmi.org/warn

Well we know they laid off a bunch of people in NY but are there any news stories about the other locations?

Merry Christmas! More layoffs. Again. Right before the holidays. Again. Shouldn’t be surprised at this company’s shameful lack of caring and respect for employees. No doubt driven by the majority owners schizophrenic desires for ever increasing profits. Anyone still employed here should be looking in earnest for a new gig. Life after TR should be a support group. Lord knows there are tens of thousands in need.
