“Anonymous” employee survey being pushed - should employees take it?
“Anonymous” employee survey being pushed - should employees take it? It’s called “OHI” survey and they say each person gets a unique identifier link but they insist the survey is completely anonymous. Is it possible that they could match the... — read more
Consider the Case for Remaining at Thomson Reuters
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chrislouie_during-this-time-of-great-resignation-i-activity-6857861311548661760-oguQ Gee, no conflict of interest with that post. Right.
So many complaints, so little action
You're not happy at TR, I get that. You basically have two choices. You can stay here and continue to be miserable every single day of your life or you can leave now that the job market is for the first time completely favoring workers and find a... — read more
Donde esta DW LinkedIn post?
While celebrating mental health day I noticed that the post about Mexico was removed. I thought DW would be spending time preparing for the Product Blitz Days instead of playing censor.
Layoff vs. Fired due to the mandate
Is there a way to volunteer to be included in the annual layoff group instead of waiting to get fired due to the vaccine mandate? All those years spent dodging the bullet maybe wasn't a blessing after all.
Finding a new job
For those who were Rif’d in the past how long did it take you to find other employment? Were you able to remain within the industry or did you need to step outside to be gainfully employed? More importantly, did you find a position where you were... — read more
You got fired because your work sucked. Look at the state of the products...
A customer even posted here complaining about the products sucking. You should all realize, collectively, that you did a poor job. Unfortunately many kiss a-s managers and directors got to keep their cushy jobs. And this is not to say that... — read more
Feeling of high school all over again?
That and these courses which I will never use is a huge waste of time and stressful. Honestly I am hoping I am in the next round of layoffs. I feel like I am back in school again with homework and project deadlines. The fork is stuck in me _ _ _ .. — read more
Vaccine Mandate communication
Coming out tomorrow - so expect more attrition in the US with no backfills. Required vax by late November/efficacy December - per Federal policy. Maybe that will alleviate some of the layoffs coming soon.

I know this does not have to deal with layoffs but not t is TR related.
Why does the company have to torment us with these constant check-in’s with managers, self evaluations, password changes, required seminars to take (most of which does not apply to to the vast amount of TR employees anyway ) and virtual town halls? ... — read more
Is there any reason to think that this October will be different?
Is there any hope that this October will pass without layoffs? I am very worried because this would be the worst possible time for me personally to get laid off, and it frustrates me that I am powerless to do anything and not become the layoff... — read more
Would you leave without severance pay for just a slightly better job?
Those who don’t expect it and try to keep the job seem to be laid off. On the other hand, I wish to be on the layoff list - and I am not. Though reluctantly, it looks like I’ll have to leave without severance pay even though I’ve been squeezed here... — read more
New round of cuts to come before end of October
Be advised. Update your resume and start putting out feelers. More financial goals are needing to be met to solidify selloffs.
Customer Town Hall this week
Am I the only one who thought that BP should have put on a coat and tie for a Customer Town Hall? If we have an attorney in a coat and tie giving us "feedback," shouldn't one of our top executives try to not look so sloppy?
Feedback for TR Management
This post is for TR management. It is meant as genuine feedback and is not a wind up or a joke. I’ve been a regular user of TR products for many years. Over the last three or so I’ve noticed a decline in quality/standards in many of the products I... — read more
Replaced after almost 5 months
I didn't think they would replace a colleague who left very quickly, but I didn't think it would last very long either. After three months, I thought he would never be replaced. Well in the end it was replaced but only after almost five... — read more
Only those who go with the flow are satisfied here
If you are still left at TR, it means that you will do what you have to do to stay, but that by no means say that you are valued. As I look around at who is left, its typically the meek ones, ones that go with the flow, no dissenting opinions, happy... — read more
Peccareli covered for Bahash back in 2012..
Golf buddies will do anything for each other
Who is TR going to sell to?
This model cant keep going on the way it is. Heard any rumors?
There aren't too many options out there
A former coworker who was laid off months ago is still looking for work. He did have a few good possibilities but it never went through the whole way. This has me worried. I wasn't too worried about being laid off because I thought finding a new job... — read more
Begging for Employees
Well I kept hearing that there was no issue with employees attrition. However it certainly appears that is not the case. Multiple emails begging for help and offering money. Why did people leave in the first place. Was a good chunk of them because... — read more
Town Hall 9/15-drinking game words or phrases
What will be the most common words or phrases tomorrow at the SH Town Hall? Not selling TAP Efficiency Very excited Please share others for fun in this dismal time.
You know whats cool?
Being told you're valued and then being replaced by overseas hires you're forced to retrain and welcome with smiling faces! Nothing productive here, just toxic realism.
Maybe it’s just a phase?
Yesterday was probably my hardest day at work after more than five years here. Once again I wondered "what am I even doing here?" I'm bored. I feel terribly bored at work the last few weeks. For a long time I was dissatisfied with the... — read more
When is the next round of layoffs?
Anyone know when the next round of layoffs is happening? The rumor was that Eagan would have 3 rounds of layoffs this year. We've already had one... which means two more before the end of the year?
We work to live. Not live to work.
It would be great if someone could explain to our management that we do not live to work, but that almost all of us work just for the sake of surviving in this society. Will that ever become clear to them??? They act as if everyone should be happy... — read more
Worst mistake ever!
Absolutely no support from my boss and my boss has no idea what I do. Management's mess is put on the backs of employees. Management will scream to clean up their mess. The organization does not "think" about the strategy. My previous jobs I had... — read more
When did you decide it was high time to leave?
I’m not at all happy here, but it’s hard for me to decide to leave because I didn’t get an offer that I could say is much better. A friend who works in one of the competing companies is also not very happy - I mean, it is clear to me that the grass... — read more
Morale is as low as I've ever seen it
How come nobody cares enough to do something about it?
Career at TR
How satisfied are you with the growth of your career here? Unfortunately, I only now realize that I have wasted my time here.
The bigger problem is which people are laid off
Do you also think that the bigger problem here than layoffs is that totally wrong people are being laid off? Those who are the best employees, who are the most talented and have the most knowledge, or simply those who should be kept here at all... — read more
TAP in AA is dead...get out if you have the opportunity.
There isn't anyone left who knows how things work there. If you are still there, get out if you have the chance. TR will not own that AA building within 2 years. BP achieved his goal of ki----g TAP in AA.
People aren't leaving, they are running away
Everyone is tired of working in this uncertainty. My colleagues who have left these days and those who have prioritized looking for a new job, think that there will be layoffs soon. However, given how many people are leaving, I wonder if there will... — read more
"Enterprise Centre"
I happened to see that a certain former CTO at TR, SB, is now Vice Chairman and President of something called the Enterprise Centre at TR. What is the "Enterprise Centre" and what does it do?
Interesting TAP Town hall today
Curious that they are striving to be "open and honest" at this point. Wonder how they expect anyone to believe anything they say when there's literally an article from earlier this year implying there would be no coming layoffs:... — read more

Startling COVD 19 resurgence - Reinstate Voluntary WFH
With the significant increase in COVID cases and new surge in the US, there can be NO reasonable explanation to require staff to report to TR offices until the case count reduces in a significant and sustained manner.
