And after almost 20 years I decided to start looking. It was a great run up until the last year or so. Shocked to have two different recruiters tell me essentially the same thing. That a candidate from TR used to be basically be a slam dunk and they... — read more
Cognitive Dissonance
Profits are trumpeted while employees are asked to sacrifice and work harder, once again.
The company's reputation
TR should take a little more care of its reputation. Ever since I started working here, I think the collective opinion regarding this company has never been worse. The only thing I'm not sure about is what damages the reputation of this company... — read more
And there goes MyPay.
Employees went in the deal so no option to access open positions in TR.
That's how it's going to be until even more people leave
I'm sick of hearing the manager say that there is no need for more people. Of course there is no need for more people, when most of us are overloaded way more than we should be. How many more people need to leave for TR to realize that we need more... — read more
“Change Program” leader encourages layoffs while getting a huge raise…
Hmm “In March 2022, the HR Committee…approved an increase to [KR’s] base salary and long-term incentive target to better align her pay with the market and the impact of her role.” KR’s total annual comp increased to $4.2 million from $1.8... — read more
They don’t even care about customers
It is more or less clear to everyone that they do not value us at all. But it is very concerning that TR no longer cares about customers either. I notice more and more dissatisfied customers. How could they not be dissatisfied... Is it possible... — read more
The worst place I've ever worked for, hands down
It is overflowing with insecure managers who have no idea what they are doing most of the time. This is why you have to play d-mb as well plenty of times if you want to keep your job. If they see you as a threat, you're as good as gone. But if you're... — read more
Shortstaffed teams
We desperately need more people. If we stay shortstaffed for a while, that is, if I have to continue to work for two or three people for a long time, I will not hesitate much whether to quit or not. How many people are missing from your team?
Hiring Freeze
Is the hiring freeze across the organization?
Circus Crew
So the CEO is a very solid front face and talks big vision. Typical CEO and seems like a good one but the level below him is where it seems the circus crew begins. CPO reads text off deck, word by word (read as inspirational), the long gone CDO used... — read more
1443 Open Roles
Well. Looks like we hit the limit between these last two weeks. We are starting to drop a little. Either they gave up or are filling seats. Not sure.
What products are rumored to be sold?
And when?
Things are changing very fast
I am a little older generation. I started working here when the company was very different. I am fascinated by how quickly things have changed and now I could say for TR that it is a totally different company than the one I started working for. But... — read more
Younger generations
Strange as it may sound, counting the days until retirement makes me feel depressed. I thought I would be jumping with joy when this time came, but I have been here too long and despite everything, it will be a bit unusual for me. I'm feeling a... — read more
Layoff season over?
I haven't heard of any layoffs in awhile. Is it finally over until the fall?
No growth
I don’t see that leadership has any good and concrete plan for growth. Lately, I've been thinking more and more about going to a growing company, even a smaller one. We could have a long discussion why there is no more growth at TR and what are... — read more
Resume writing services
I'm not getting any bites despite sending many resumes out. Do you have any recommendations for resume writing services?
1482 Job Openings
Another 2 weeks since my last post and the positions just keep going up. No end in sight. What’s going on here?
Praising the leadership is half the job
Not at all genuine praises and compliments. False expressions of gratitude. Being a "yes man". This is what most managers here value more than hard work. It is disgusting how they think that all these false compliments are a greater expression... — read more
Differences between departments
I think I work in absolutely the worst department here. I don’t know which department at TR is best for employees, but I know it can't be worse than this one here where I am. Aren't the differences between the departments here too big? At the... — read more
Request for Info: Project LOTUS
I’ve searched all across the Hub, Salesforce, Teams, SharePoint, IRMA, EMS. I have climbed highest mountains, I have walked through the fields. But I still can’t get any updates on LOTUS. can someone help me?
Sent a lot of resumes but no bites
I hope I won’t have to send a bunch more resumes to finally get an offer and get out of here. I really have never sent so many resumes before. Either I'm unlucky or it's really not as easy to get a job now as many say it is. Perhaps those who got... — read more
What is with the hiring frenzy?
I am watching with amusement the list of 15-30 new jobs that are supposedly being opened at TR every day and am wondering what is going on with this company as a prospective new hire. I have been stalking this forum the past few weeks after I... — read more
What do you think about McKinsey Consultants?
Are they providing value?
TR in the process of selling several products
TR has hired a major CPA firm as a business broker to sell several products and the teams that produce them. Information that the broker has disseminated to prospects calls this a "multi-asset divestiture." This involves 3 teams. The sales are... — read more
Bunch of exits and layoffs last Friday?
There was a team deploying an exciting analytics tool across product and I found last minute on Friday that their director was leaving along with a bunch of other data & finance leaders. I don’t know if these guys resigned after the fat bonus or... — read more
Make no mistake you WILL find better pay elsewhere.
TR is not competitive in the market. If you're looking to leave TR, make no mistake you will find better pay elsewhere no matter what role you're in. Easily 10% or more. Brush up on your interview skills and get out there. ELT and HR are doing... — read more
I'm finally financially ready to leave this ****ho-e in my rear view mirror
I'm not even planning to give them notice. I'm so done with this place that I'll hand in my resignation letter and walk out. My manager or my team members don't deserve better. You want to create a culture of competition instead of collaboration?... — read more
Is TR having problems with hiring?
Some positions have been open for atypically long time. TR is hiring but no one is hired. What is going on? Nobody wants to apply here anymore? Although, TR doesn’t rush into hiring as long as there are those of us who will do work for several... — read more
1447 Open Roles
That is almost 100 more then 20 days ago. They just can’t fill these seats. And now it’s back to the office, which may not exist in 2 years. Wonder if they are even trying?
TR does not care about retaining institutional knowledge
Accelerating the loss of institutional knowledge would be a concern for any serious company. I no longer notice that such a loss is worrying for our leadership. That tells me that TR leadership is very short-sighted because it is not easy to... — read more
Just wrong!
Reuters staff raise alarms over partnership with Russian-owned wire service, Tass: “It was an embarrassment when the partnership was signed two years ago,” said a Reuters reporter. “Now it’s just wrong."
Done with this place
I'm making sure to research every company I apply with to make sure being promoted is based on merit instead of on who you know. I'm so tired of being passed over for a promotion because I'm willing to work hard but I'm not willing to kiss any butts... — read more
The Vanity Leadership
TR never stops amazing you on how incompetent their new VP+ hires are. Eligibility for VP+ are external candidates, mostly from Intuit, has been a minion to one of the leaders in the past and most important: they shouldn’t know anything pertinent to... — read more

How was your raise this week?
I'm curious. Mine was around 1% and not anywhere close to the 7% inflation we are seeing in the US these days.
March notifications
I heard of several Finance notifications this week. Any others?
