Be honest now.

If this is true that TR is already doing or planning to give low performance reviews in order not to have to give Severance packages people must band together and seek legal action and not allow this to happen. The goals set in my section this year... — read more 

All the recent layoffs appear to be part of a transformation program to reduce headcount, footprint, and go digital. Are there any specific targets? How long will this last?

What gives?

Take it from somebody who was laid off about eight months ago, you'll be okay. After the first shock is gone, you'll realize that they did you a favor. It took me less than two months to find a new job, and that was when the job market was much worse... — read more 

I’m worried about layoffs, but on the other hand, it very often seems to me that layoff would bring me relief and that it would be the best thing TR has given me. Sometimes I even wish to get laid off. I don’t know anyone who experienced the... — read more 

I consider the last year, or even two, to be a waste of time here, and I am sorry that I have made any effort. I'm sorry I ever put 1 percent effort into this company. Why? Because this company does not put even 1 percent of the effort to save jobs... — read more 

Until we say that you don't have to be here. Where are you on the mood elevator today?

What are the chances that we'll see more cuts before the end of the week (mainly, today?) I wish I could relax and believe it's over but this place has pushed my anxiety to a new level in the past few years. The only consolation I have is that the... — read more 

how many survive the cut?

and those of who got whacked. Now if 2nd rate coffee doesn't make you feel wanted, nothing will.

Surviving the cycle of layoffs here roughly means prolonging the agony. They usually say that a new job is much easier to find while you already have a job, but there are a lot of those who found a job right after they got cut here much faster than... — read more 

So far I haven’t noticed that it matters whether someone is a high performer, very engaged or very professional in their job. It doesn't seem to matter at all to TR. So far I know that a lot of great people have been laid off while some of the... — read more

Same old song, just a drop of water In an endless sea All we do crumbles to the ground Though we refuse to see

A year ago we had more than twice as many people in our team as we have now. Some were laid off, some have walked out. Since there was no backfilling, those of us who are still here have basically had to double the work we were doing. Now with talk... — read more

I’m looking for a new job and sending out a bunch of applications because it’s getting harder here every day. I am disappointed, but I am a little angry what they turned the company into with poor management. It used to be quite pleasant to work at... — read more 

Let me pose a question to those folks that may not be comprehending what an unacceptable work environment TR happens to be. If you had a friend or family member that came to you for career advice, and spelled out the situation within their company... — read more 

Why do people care so much about how TR will do in the future? Especially those who are easily employable and don't have to worry about their jobs? As far as I'm concerned, this place can crash and (metaphorically) burn. Actually, if that would mean... — read more

Advice is to polish your skills and resume.

How much did TR on resume help you get a new job? As for me, it didn't help. That name means almost nothing on one's resume anymore. What a pity, because once upon a time a lot of doors were open to you if you worked here. I was very disappointed... — read more

Hearing that the MN location could close. Will all offices shift to Toronto w/ everyone else working remote?

So what is next? People are dropping like flies. Either finding new roles or a new company. Why? Is it the work, the change or something bigger?

Guys - I’ve been working almost 40 years and worked at numerous companies. The more I moved, the more I’ve learned, the more I’ve been paid. Group I was with most people had been their 1st or 2nd job in 20+ years. Stagnation is not good - why you... — read more
