Bcp underway. Assuming is HD and OMS getting the chop

Any thoughts on TR layoffs (not refinitiv)? Any insight into the longer term plans? Are they setting up to make it easy to sell the remaining parts (Legal, Corp, Tax) and get back to where it all started in news?

We outsourced it to this place? Another management stroke of genius! So excited! Remember to pledge before you go!! #BeSociopathic #FasterThanTheSpeedOfLayoffs Question. As Hub is quieter than an Eikon sales hotline, should I post here about how I... — read more 

While we get news of the bloodbath everywhere in the world, some people have apparently the time to block access to that page if you are trying to connect with an Refinitv or TR IP address. Use an Incognito or a VPN. Nice move btw...

5% - representing 1,100 headcount to relief. Wrexham, UK and USA still far away from the figure needed. Moreover, for god sake LT will deliver at least 15% addition than forecasted (perhaps seek 20% to keep them away from chopping board). Collective... — read more 

approx a dozen gone today. Some insensitive actions towards a couple. No moral intelligence shown. I can't see how the newco will be better. I wish those affected all the best. In a way they are better off being out of all of this.
