TR a bad mark on resume now??

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 

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?

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.

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

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

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 

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 

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?

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

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.
