No energy. No details. Just work faster and harder.

Our leadership only cares about costs and stock prices right now. Long term? That's someone else's problem. We're all just numbers to them.

What are the odds they will clear whole team from small offices internationally? They’ve done it to some lone rangers but what about other teams?

What are your thoughts on the new initiative?

I'll be brief - almost all of them are always performative, vague... overly scripted and fu--ing unable to execute...

TRP is the only place I’ve worked where used a VDI; all other jobs provided a dedicated developer laptop. The VDI crashes all the time while I'm working. Honestly, how can you expect good results when the tools you’re given to build them are so... — read more 

Thoughts on our "Partners"?

Lazy, arrogant, uneducated, entitled, useless TRASH do not deserve a job here or anywhere

The “first of many” associate all-hands left a bad taste in my mouth, for more reasons than I can fully articulate. The shift to the Harbor Point studio was the first jarring departure from the cozy, informal town halls we had grown used to before... — read more 

Sure, AI has it's place, but it's not a solution for everything. Employees are raising real, valid concerns: rising costs, the need for more flexible work arrangements, job security, and clarity around salaries and bonuses. Redirecting those... — read more 

MeetingPulse is already open and the first 2 questions are about WFH. Thoughts?

This site should be one that provides information for those who have been affected by a layoff. It has devolved into name calling, bashing the company, and just saying mean things about current employees. Seriously, if you just want to say mean... — read more 

Just stay at home and don’t distract everyone else. Trying to concentrate is hard enough even with the whole flex desk BS. No one needs to hear a blow by blow of your personal problems. There are still people at this company that actually have... — read more 

Don’t get me wrong I’m all for hiring ambitious people. But why when someone screams “I’m using this as a stepping stone” do you hire them? You do realise your stakeholders internally have to tolerate their mediocre work, slow deliverables and lack... — read more 

Up almost $10 from lows in less than a month. Is there a reason or just random?

Google AI question: Has Accenture taken jobs from investment firms other that IT? Yes, Accenture has taken over significant non-IT operational and business functions from investment firms, asset managers, and capital markets entities. Through its... — read more

It is alarming when senior people are leaving TRP and they are leaving because the culture is dying. It started when they brought in Kimberly Johnson (COO) and it has gone progressively worse with leaders like Ramon Richards and Chris LePre. The... — read more 

I heard the Command Center and Help Desk departments were recently outsourced before the New Year? And now from seeing this site, it seems that a lot of departments are being slashed? Wow. How is this affecting the day to day operations with the app... — read more 

Thoughts? Any ideas?

Flex space office criticisms focus on reduced employee privacy, increased distractions, and the loss of personal, consistent workstations, leading to lower employee satisfaction and engagement. Critics highlight challenges with noise, reduced... — read more 

I was given the devastating news March 26. I already have an interview April 13 (Monday). No guarantees of course, but it gives some hope. I have probably applied to 10 positions so far. 2 rejections. And there was a contractor who sent me an... — read more 

I am hearing that there are many groups in Tech that have now been required to work with Accenture to train/knowledge transfer Accenture people into their roles, yet they are not being told they will still keep their job after KT and are not being... — read more 

It is, without question, the most toxic corporate culture I have ever experienced. people spend their entire day pretending to be busy, yet no one actually values high-quality work or individual contributions. The biggest bottleneck is the... — read more 

Stop celebrating overworking. You're not helping anybody but the company's bottom line.

March preliminary numbers are coming out soon. Not going to be a surprise that number is negative and then after that they’re going to announce some more layoffs before the earnings call. Need to make more headway if the market is going to react... — read more 

Has anyone returned to the company after a layoff? It’s been a few years since I was let go, so interested to see if anyone has comeback and what their experience was like. I’ve realized the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. I’m also... — read more 

Round 3 in Tech happened this morning. Train your replacement then good luck

Legitimately sickening that he is making millions while overseeing years of layoffs and decline. Make sure to vote against his pay in the proxy voting! Since apparently TRP is too chicken sh-t to send out an employee survey for the last 4? 5? years... — read more 

This only applies to the Maryland offices because I have no clue what’s happening at other locations. I’ve been informed that they are tracking badging in Owings Mills and “collecting the data for who comes in their 2 days a week and who doesn’t”, at... — read more 

Are they merging teams within the client service and implementation teams? Also is GCIR and RFP teams part of this?

It seems the rolling layoffs have no end in sight, who else thinks they’ll reference AI as a reason for downsizing this year?

Anyone want to guess?

Still waiting for mine. Agreement says payment will be made "as soon as practicable" after termination but within 30 days. I don't suppose I should be surprised if they make us wait the full 30 days...

Anyone else notice how they avoided answering questions related to layoffs vs. C-suite compensation, offshoring, etc. in the latest TDO town hall? I’m disgusted but not surprised in the least that these cowards don’t have the ba--s to answer... — read more 

Did the email move you at all? 🤔 It felt hollow to me. If they could have gotten rid of all of us at once they would have. I feel more like we are on a subway train...yeah, all of us are moving "forward", but we all have "stops" ahead where we... — read more
