Lol. We fired a bunch of people around the country and now we're having trouble hiring enough replacements in a single (midsize?) legal market with low unemployment. Don't get me wrong, the Twin Cities are great, but thinking you're going to fire... — read more

Anyone bothering to complete survey
Is anyone bothering to complete the organizational health survey, and if so, what are the chances that it's safe to be honest? Why does the company even pretend to care at this point? It is obvious they consider everyone expendable.

Layoff season
Is anyone else nervous about the annual layoff time? It seems like the messages from upper management continue to be "rah rah we're so great...empowered and customer focused." They're clueless about how bad morale is so I wouldn't be surprised if... — read more
Did anyone attend MSP town hall this morning?

Carving up Reuters
Can they carve up Reuters for sale? Sell the financial news to LSE and the multimedia whatever to whoever actually wants to buy it Reporting @Z5Ya8ZF-1nfk
Perception
What’s the perception of the TR board of directors when they agree to sell 55% of F&R business for $17 billion and the company they sold it to then resells it for $27 billion less than 12 months later ? David Thomson said it was sold to cheap ...but... — read more

Layoffs in TR Risk
10% of TR Risk (what’s left after the Refinitiv spinoff) to be laid off end of August
A new "Chief Marketing Officer"
So much for flattening the organization and providing opportunities to those who remain. Apparently, no one on staff is "sophisticated" enough to "accelerate our efforts." We had to hire someone from Equifax.
It's amusing to see help wanted emails
in my department, staffing levels are so stretched that not a day goes by where there aren't emails among different teams saying this is where they need help immediately and the priorities for deadlines. It's just ironic because the company clearly... — read more
More Eagan layoffs
Inside account management
Over 700 attending the Rochester NY Office Open House Saturday 6/1
The Rochester NY office is holding an open house on Saturday, 6/1. Some big wigs from Eagan, sorry MSP, are also attending. They have a lot of f---ing nerve. They're the reason it's closing. If I wasn't worried about losing my severance I might say... — read more
TR has a talent retention issue
Let's face it. Those who have marketable skills would have walked out long ago. Those who are left are constantly worried about the next round of cuts, unable to focus on their work and fed up with having to take on the additional load left by those... — read more
New job after 60 is possible
I was laid off at the end of 2018 after 12 years at TR--and at 61 years old, I thought I'd never find another job. Well, it took five months, but I have a new job, so it IS possible. Yes, I did have to compromise on pay (I'm only making a little more... — read more
Time to start learning
People working at TR should really be trying to learn new skills. Improving yourself will make sure you are not stuck in the job market that's over saturated with employees sharing same skill sets, looking to fill same positions. Just saying, the way... — read more
Life after TR
I was at TR a long time, and was laid off earlier this year. I enjoyed most of my time at TR, but it got bad towards the end. I was anxious for the future, but quickly found there is a huge market for my skills. Was offered several roles, but... — read more

Leadership doesn't even care about customers
They care only about making the most money by outsourcing and laying people off. If they truly cared about customers, they would recognize that institutional knowledge is what the original company was built on and is what retains customers. The whole... — read more
I stopped caring a long time ago
And I stopped giving it my all. Actually, since I know my days here are already numbered due to my age and years with the company - I'm not even sure how I survived layoffs so far - I've been doing the bare minimum required. And I know I'm not the... — read more
This is what our "leaders" think of us
In a Hub Q&A with someone I won't name (look it up), an employee asked about the effect of knowledge "being walked out of the building." The response was both stunning and tone deaf. "Our efforts to make our organization simpler...were deliberate. We... — read more
What's next?!
What is the next trick that JS has in his pockets?
Nobody wants Reuters
Truth is neither Refin nor TR really wants Reuters. Costs have been uncontrollable, there's no differentiator in the segment that actually makes money, and the margins are laughable. The problem is, who would want to buy this money-losing pit? Sad... — read more
Next layoffs?
When can we expect them?
Are you serious?!
I am not sure why employees would think posting negative posts here is helping you to survive through this or next or even next next round. Or I can assume some of you who post here were the ones already being let go and now trying to avenge this... — read more
