Thread regarding Thomson Reuters layoffs

Many in Rochester getting their end date on Wed 1/16

An Eagan HR person, no idea their level or importance, will be leading a meeting Wed afternoon for nearly 50 Rochester employees. My guess is we're finding out how many people were accepted for the work at home offer, and when the rest of us are done. Should be a hoot!

Please note that all of these office closings are not being done because they are losing money. These are happening because they just want to make more money.

Right, just a “useless remote office” creating and managing some of the highest margin products in the company...

@1pgn - Really? Rochester was the key location for Analytical content, developed Phoenix/Trillium content pathway, and developed ACT on the Cobalt platform as well as had an R&D group (of which the current VP of R&D was from) - just to name a few of its contribution to the TR portfolio. The fact that you consider it useless only shows your ignorance and holds no fact. Years of sending key development and technical work to Bangalore/epam(Russia) is what made it vulnerable to being closed.
