CIO RIF
If you can’t already tell. CIO is under increased scrutiny for headcount. They are looking to reduce costs/headcount by 10% across all CIO pillars for 2026 and achieve something called “reimagine work “ by 2027? I’m not sure what reimagine work is... — read more
Layoffs started?
Someone I work with, a friend, was told today is last day. Can’t they just reduce everyone’s salary instead of layoffs like some cultures do?

AI sharing
Does the constant begging for AI ideas, use cases, prompts, and more drove anyone else crazy? As someone who is very proficient with AI, (through taking classes, learning it, using it, etc,) I’m not sharing my knowledge/competence/learnings with... — read more
it all makes sense now
Haskers mentor was Dave Calhoun (look it up they worked with eachother at Nielsen). You know the guy who got grilled in senate hearing because Boeing planes were falling out of the sky. Dave and the infamous Jack Welch worked with eachother at GE and... — read more

All, Please reserve this time for our last senior leadership meeting of 2025. We’ll discuss performance acceleration and Reimagining Work, as well as any questions/topics you raise.
Predictions
Now, I know this is all speculative but I wanted to see what people think if a layoff is coming. If yes, how big is it - 10%, 15%, 20%. I've heard different things in the office, people are freaked out and talking but it's all just rumors so far... — read more
Condescension among the Execs
The condescension practically drips out of speakers mouths when answering questions in AMAs. "Compared to other companies, our RTO..." We don't care about other companies, we care about this one. Answer the question. These people should go into... — read more

Unless you’re a senior leader. START APPLYING ASAP YALL. Get out of this company. And even if you’re a senior leader leave you will be forced to cut jobs on teams that are already short staffed. Not fear mongering yall. My manager also recently... — read more
Leadership leaving Zug?
Why does leadership continue to leave from Zug? Are they finding better opportunities or are they being forced out?
Health Insurance
Mine went up 20 bucks a pay period for a comparable plan. So much for the savings with UHC. More lies. Just like the OHI and then the RTO 3x/week.
Stacked Rankings
There were some posts about stacked rankings and PIP's. Is this going to be company-wide? Is there a target %?
Some Managers performance are being partially based on RIF through implement AI efficiencies
Super sad to see what TR is becoming and just corporate in general. I can’t say who or how I know due to confidentiality but I found out some managers goals are to reduce people on their team by implementing AI/automation. It is literally apart of... — read more
Why inconsistent RTO policy?
It is concerning how the company is handling remote work and RTO rules. In the same team, some people are working 100% remote while others with the same job have RTO. This is not fair or consistent. If people in the same roles are treated... — read more
Reduction In Force 2025 confirmed
There seems to be a big RIF coming. Not sure exactly who’s impacted but seems like there’s going to be a lot. Today was the last day HR submitted it in their “RIF Tracker”. Goodluck yall.

Sales are slow.....morale is bad.
Spyware on work PCs

Is Number of Hours Required For 3 Days RTO Coming Next Year?

Why are many leaving?
Very worried about what’s going on. Since the new CTO joined many Head of XYZ have left. The culture feels worse. Product quality has dropped. More customers are leaving because of bad product quality. The CTO has also pushed out many. That is very... — read more
TR enforces stack ranking
Not sure if anyone’s aware. To give you the insider knowledge TR does stack ranking it’s an evil practice. Look it up if you don’t know. And don’t ask me how I know. Just know word spreads around.
TR becoming PIP culture
Hearing that HR is now ramping up PIPs. If support needed on the mid year the guidance is to also put an employee on a pip. There is a push for this. TR is becoming Amazon except for shi*tier pay and now RTO.
Organizations and locations that are exempt from 3 days a week in office
Have you heard any locations or organizations that are only required to come in 1 or 2 days a week? Shout them out so those of us that are required to do 3 can look for job openings.
What departments will have layoffs in November?
Corporates , Technology, Product, Operations?
Double tap in November?
Will it be this November 4th at 09:15? And then again November 18, same time? They do LOVE Tuesdays!!!! Or perhaps a single tap in November followed by another tap in December? Oh, how they love to tease and excite!
Layoffs confirmed
We were told company wide layoffs are coming. I hate this impending doom every year around holidays. Su-ks because nobody is safe during a layoff.
Upcoming Layoffs - What to Expect?
I am really worried that I will be laid off this year. I’m seeing all the signs of a company wide cut from TR and I’ve been here 25+ years. Performance has been good but they keep changing the standards and performance measurements. How do they... — read more

Stock price declining
Why stock price fall? Nothing’s working. Share buyback is not helping. Does the market know something that we don’t?
Upcoming layoffs
As we all know, Thomson Reuters does massive layoffs every year in November. If you got a really good review on your midyear review, can you assume that you’re safe this year? Has anyone ever heard of someone getting a great review during their mid... — read more
“Support needed” mid year
anyone ever get support needed on mid year? What does it mean. Manager told me it’s not a bad thing but need to see a bit of improvement.
Offshoring (rant)
I really hate how this company offshores so many roles to Mexico City and India etc. My organization is running thin on people and short staffed. There are hiring freezes still for backfilled roles. I have offshore people on my team and their... — read more
RTO Mandate starting November
I was just told by my manager they are enforcing and requiring everyone in the company regardless of title to be in office 3 days a week starting November. I believe the announcement will be this Monday.
TR has been unbearable to work at for the last several years
I’d happily take a severance package just to walk away from this toxic environment. The long hours, mismanagement, and constant chaos have taken their toll, and no paycheck is worth that stress.
