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.

layoffs witnin refinitiv yesterday. people found out in the AM they wouldn't have jobs today. heard something like 200, mostly in tech. not clear if it was just eagan or globally

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 

I missed it and have no idea what was said. No one on my team went. Does anyone know what was discussed?

Another team gone, at least a half dozen people. Soon both the 11th and 8th floors will be mostly empty. They're going to shrink this office until we fit in a shoebox.

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

10% of TR Risk (what’s left after the Refinitiv spinoff) to be laid off end of August

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.

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

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

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

What is the next trick that JS has in his pockets?

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
