Humiliation? Degradation? Weight loss for BP?
Breaking Colorado’s Transparency Law
There are several remote positions listed among the 1200 current open roles. However, those that are remote do not show salary information upfront. I believe this is a violation of Colorado’s pay transparency law. Wonder why a company with so... — read more
Promotions
From what I can see, if you want to get promoted you have to be careful not to pi-s off anybody who is even one level above you, because people here remember and will be happy to trip you up over a smallest disagreement. That in itself shouldn't be... — read more
Thoughts on Eagan Campus
I was curious what the folks here think about the recent announcement that they are exploring all opportunities regarding the campus in Eagan. Moving, staying, leasing, adding on, whatever. I am really interested in how this translates to working... — read more
Stop it with the "why do you stay" cr-p
First of all, this is a place to come and vent. If you're shocked to see posts by people who are sick and tired of TR and its cr-p on a layoffs page then that's on you. Second of all, nobody owes you an explanation. Everybody's life story is... — read more
Changing EIN for W-2s in 2022
I received an email that the issuing EIN will be changing for 2022. Seems innocent enough, but could it be getting different units in order for a sale or a spin-off? I’m not from HR though I wish I would have majored in HR, but hindsight is 20/20. — read more
TR in a nutshell
transparency is missing horrible management nonexistent career progression abysmal pay abysmal benefits
TR will do its best to convince you that you are not worth anything
That way they can control the employees better, if they convinces them that they are not worth much. How many times have you done a great job and ended up feeling like you shouldn’t have done it? That you shouldn't have bothered at all? Proof that... — read more
DEI ... empty words
But the easily fooled "woke" employees love it. Too much soy.
For how long can we live off of past glory days?
My opinion is that TR does just that - - live off the past glory days. If this company doesn't stop living in the past, it won't work out.
Guy who left three months ago looks like a new man
He acts like one as well. I ran into him recently and he kept telling me how leaving TR was the best decision he's ever made. The guy was always moping around and seemed like he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. Now he looks full of... — read more
$300 million USD for next year's change program
Amazing year in 2021 isn't it? $300 million USD thrown at laying off people and moving their jobs to other countries. What is in store for 2022? Same play. Another $300 million thrown at moving jobs somewhere outside the US. Didn't you catch the... — read more
Wrong strategy
As far as I've noticed, the main strategy of our company is growing profits by cutting costs. Usually it's a sign of dying company. Do those at the top really think that is sustainable in the long term? Until when will this be the only... — read more
The signs of terrible shape of TR
Yesterday I was shocked when one of the rock-star employees left. Now I am increasingly noticing that even those who were actually comfortable here are also leaving, ie those who have never worked much but have progressed quickly. And when such... — read more
Layoffs in 2022
Anyone know if there are any plans to layoff people in Q1?
The lawyers are leaving
Anyone notice how so many lawyers are quitting the legal department recently? Wondering what they know
Why salespeople can’t sell the products?
Salespeople can’t sell the products. One must really have to think about why. Could it be that tenured, high-performing salespeople felt they had no choice but to leave because of an insulting compensation plan? Could it be that the infrastructure... — read more
Who is to blame?
A lot of it comes down to training which there has been a dearth of. We used to have great training and their immediate managers actually trained their direct reports. That is not happening at the same pace or at the same level of quality. However I... — read more
Change BS Stream
Did anyone else find the SH session on the Change Stream demotivating today? Apparently all of our products are currently horrible and difficult for our sales people to understand and sell, then why are we beating all forecasts for WL and PL? Only... — read more
Decline of all standards?
When I started working here, people who weren't hard workers couldn't thrive here. Now everything seems possible even for those who seriously lack communication skills? I received an email from such a person and was shocked by the lack of... — read more
So much for diversity and inclusion
Anyone hear about this? Probably had to sign NDAs. https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/ofccp/ofccp20211006-0
Hoping to get laid off
Been with TR for almost 20 years, originally with a smaller firm until acquired. No real elevation, just small raises to match inflation and benefits to keep me fed. Year after year, doing more with less, no end or promotion to see, just reports to... — read more
Worst year ever
I have been working here since 2013 and this has definitely been the hardest year for me here. This used to be a serious and respectable company, but now it seems like a joke of a company. I don't intend to stay much longer, but I'm interested in... — read more
Project LOTUS Update
Any word on next steps for the successful implementation of Project Lotus?
Tax Team in AA scrambling to KT UTAX LO
When decades of institutional knowledge walks out the door and the people that remain can't find their as----e with both hands, chaos ensues. Any accountant using the garbage software (Onvio....LMFAO), should be looking to switch to Lacerte or the... — read more

How many people were cut these days?
Any idea how big that number could be? I'm even more interested in whether the cuts will continue next week?
Thomson Reuters Layoffs 2022
If the economy turns around, do you anticipate any Thomson Reuters layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
No severance
Are people really being laid off without severance? This is the first time I've heard about this and now my anxiety and stress level are about twice as bad as they were. It's one thing to be laid off with severance. It's bad, but at least you have... — read more
Fired and manager doing the fire gets a large bonus as a result
Got fired and was told by my manager doing the firing that part of their bonus is determined by the headcount reduction and cost of replacements.
Just laid off
Literally sobbing. After being told I was so valued by TR, I receive notice that I am being terminated. My position will be back filled via Change Pgm outsourcing. There will be no severance for my team. Worked my a-s off for this company over... — read more
‘Business Update’
I just got an unexpected teams meeting invite labeled ‘Business Update’ with just my manager and my manager’s manager. I’m getting laid off right? That’s what this is?
Laid off
Tis the season, and I've been tapped. I've been wary for years and am finally at peace. For someone who said to just resign: Unless you have a new job offer lined up for a steady revenue source, you would be losing out on the severance package... — read more
Larger Severance?
For those who have been let go before has anybody gotten a larger severance then the standard 2 weeks from TR?
Vaccine Mandate - time to get VAX'd or lose job w/o severance pkg?
How is NM going to handle the Federal / OSHA vaccine mandate? January 4th is right around the corner. I don't think the new mandate will allow working from home as being in compliance. Anyone with a brain new this was coming when only 58% of the... — read more
If you're determined to stand your ground, then quit
It'll send a message so you'd have achieved something rather than when being fired AND it'll mean fewer layoffs for the rest of us.
Biden vaccine mandate halted
The federal court of appeal temporarily halted Bidens vaccine mandate. How will TR respond to this?
How do you manage to do as little work as possible?
Many here boast that they only work the bare minimum. I keep wondering how I fail to work as little as possible because I have a lot of work to do every day that can't go unfinished?
It is sad what this company has become
It has never been more miserable working at TR. I’ve been here for a few years now, but this one was definitely the worst for me. I get depressed when I remember how it used to be and how it is now. From what is happening here now, I don't have much... — read more
What is going on with Tax & Accounting?
I retired just under two years ago and was in Ann Arbor with Tax & Accounting? I came through with Thomson's purchase of Creative Solutions back in the late 90's and stayed until 2020. Friends have kept me posted as far as the layoffs to... — read more
