I see somebody posted here they were not able to find a new job yet, and I know two more people recently laid off by Thomson Reuters who are still looking. This is starting to worry me - I honestly thought job market was really good right now and... — read more

They forget that all the loyal , skilled employees they treat like dirt and chuck out with the garbage may have influence at next employer and steer them away from TR products and services. Personally this happens to me years ago. I knew the inside... — read more 

Laid off in December, had to go on unemployment recently because I have still to find the right job. TR as a whole, thinks drastic change is always for the better (not true), and does not value their knowledgeable & loyal employees in the way that... — read more 

Agree with much of what's been posted here. The problem is that TR never encouraged skill development or training (software development, web or mobile application, Agile methodology, etc.) and kept everything job-specific and in silos. So, when... — read more 

What are your thoughts on Pee-ott and the corporate all hands call? Did he seem to be hiding the numbers?

I don’t believe they touch new hires. Veterans are usually picked first. No worries, you will be fine. Highlighting from Post ID: @Yu5Q3aW-1iyn I am surprised to learn this.

Take this with a pile of salt, but maybe it'll help. Look, layoffs and re-orgs are an annual thing at TR, as the brass keeps changing its mind about where it wants to go. Right now the company is led by software fetishists who want TR to be a... — read more 

How worried are you about layoffs at TR? How long have you been with the firm? I joined Dec 2018 and I am s**t scared. It’s also hard to look for another job just after 5 months, hiring managers are judgemental. I selfishly wish TR doesn’t lay-off... — read more 

He noted a lot of the "gripes" were about greater job role clarity. Legal professionals are the most unhappy sector at TR. Well no kidding. He said the solution is to work on a training program for employees on how to work in the new environment to... — read more 

With F&R gone, what’s next - Legal and Corprorates which have been growing very slow, similar to F&R, or TA, which is growing at high rate? Even Corporate has overlap between Legal and TA products.

I am joining Thomson Reuters in Canada. Salary is very good for Canadian standards. All the layoff posts are scary and have me worried. Any advice on how to avoid layoffs? Does high salary automatically puts you into layoff bucket?

Word on the street is in Canada, there will be an announcement today. What it is, we still don't know.

On the Hub discussion about improving the employee experience, one employee wrote: "All the work that needed to be done before we restructured still needs to be done." In response, the employee was told: "I have to disagree...we have to be brutal... — read more 

I don’t know anybody who is laid off who thinks that they were lucky. However, if you are north of 60 nobody guarantees you any employment past 65 or 66 so look at this way; you had a nice long career, you worked in a company that used to be great... — read more 

I think everybody can see by now that nobody can count on anything long term at Thomson Reuters. Management has decided that layoffs are the only way to deal with mounting problems, and since that never solves anything,. we'll be stuck in this circle... — read more 

Got an offer for tech role in Toronto. But this post has me worried - https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/04/media/reuters-layoffs/index.html I have also heard that if your salary is high then you can be laid off. Reading through all the Thomson Reuters... — read more 

Not every termination is "30 mins to move out after you are informed." I was in Tax & Accounting in Hoboken and most of the people whose positions were eliminated along with mine in November 2018 were given two weeks notice, minimum. Most were given... — read more

Not going to ask HR this so thought I’d come here. Planning for my departure in the future and wondering if TR pays for unused PTO when you quit?

As people leave and layoffs happen, where are people going? How are the exit opportunities? I am in my mid 30s and I have been having hard time exiting TR. I am not getting interviews at tech companies. Finding new job has become my full-time job... — read more 

Even when layoffs are not a constant threat - which, lets face it, is nearly never - the working environment at Thomson Reuters is so toxic that stress and anxiety have become synonyms with being employed here. Bosses treat employees like c-ap, more... — read more 

TR says it has already notified all impacted 3200 employees. How much of it is true? Does it mean remaining are safe? If impacted employees have been informed, why wait until 2020 to lay them off? Something doesn't add up.

All this lay-off and RIF is worrying. Is this a good time to join Thomson Reuters full time in any role at one of the hubs (Dallas/Toronto/MSP)?

I read that changes have been made that make it easier for companies to offer pension payouts. Do you the TR will go this route?

The Organizational Health Index pulse survey deadline was a month ago. What do you think the chances are we'll hear about the results? They can't be good.

Did anyone attend or hear what happened? We were told it would be comminicated to us.

My position as Director was eliminated as of 12/31/18 after almost 30 years with TR, back to the WG&L days. Just before I left, to help with a year-end deadline crunch and transition, I reviewed a journal article edited by a lower-level editor with... — read more
