There is no vision at the company at all. If you are apart of another company you will clearly see just how much it’s missing here. *If you ask your managers and their managers what their vision and strategy to achieve their targets are, they... — read more 

thanks for the depressing pep talk today. your encouragement and intimidation tactics only ensure I'm making the right decision to leave. also no one cares. design tea is a time suck and operations is a pain in the a-s.

Bye bye Elite. Good luck to anyone working there. Any guesses what businesses TR will sell next?

You can't be all high and mighty when the truth is that Thomson saved your company. If there wasn't for us, there wouldn't have been Reuters. I thought this was common knowledge and we have moved on from it, but some posts I read here have... — read more 

VO down again. Where are TH and ZM? Writing apologies?

Why TR is expanding activities in GDC India?

where are you? thats right, you fired everyone then took LOA. Now the head of design is going on vacation. and another talent is leaving. i wanted to believe in the dream, but its turned into a nightmare.

The user interfaces have eroded to the point now that some products look like a half-baked high school project. Even text on the screen is written with poor English. I can’t fathom customs paying huge sums of money and receiving this sort of product... — read more 

Reuters old-timers, can you think of one thing that improved since Thomson Corporation acquired Reuters Group? I can think of dozens and dozens of things that have worsened, starting with the company culture, but no matter how hard I try, I can't... — read more 

I was recently informed that I am being moved to another team as a part of TR's rotation program. I haven't been here long enough to know whether this is good or bad. My team has been having budget issues for a while and we've steadily cut down on... — read more 

TR beware of KR

Just left TR after six years. Had a subscription to Checkpoint where I booked all of my training...for the last 10 years or so. Huge swath of it is gone. After talking to support (who seemed to be trying really hard!) for 45 minutes and having her... — read more 

One metric we have influence in is the NPS. A concerted effort to tell the truth on these surveys might actually have an impact after a few of them.

What was that all about? Do leaders really think an e-card is going to make a difference? So detached from reality. What a sad place - leaders below execs do not seem to speak up. They just want to keep their jobs and title.

What has to break before TR management realizes they went too far with their Change Management (layoffs) project? And when it does break, will management bear any consequences?

”After 38 years, BP has decided to leave TR effective April 3.” 👀

No matter how hard you work and try to get the task accomplished, you end up frustrated and on the verge of passing out.

we now have to do a dog and pony about what our products do. how long have you been here?? and never mind the hours of work we put in for executive design reviews and the new cover sheet bs. why dont you try understanding what we do rather than... — read more 

Anyone noticed how KR always seems to be out of the office, often skiing or on an exotic vacation?

Anyone else on the Product Town hall this morning? Sounded to me like there aren't a lot of assurances that there won't be further layoffs within the dept.

The arrogance, the hypocrisy and the disconnect is baffling. What is TR without its knowledgeable front line people. We still have a lot of leaders who are being carried by those who actually do the work. Imagine if all the real workers left - it... — read more 

When would this be announced to take place - time to jump ship?

The complete and total disconnect here is astonishing. Kudos to all of the anonymous commenters for the brutal honesty here.

Why is there no Corp Town Hall this week? Is something up?

WTF. I’ve had two recruiters tell me that Thomson used to look great on a resume, but anyone who is half talented has already left TR. That anyone left here cant get hired anywhere else or is just riding it out until retirement and/or milking the... — read more

Well it has been a year since MSP employees were informed of the sale of the campus and pending move. Then a media blitz of the announcement in the Twin Cities media happed last month. They initially stated we were going to be in the SE metro but... — read more 

ok so apparently we need to just cut back on meetings and everything will be fine. Also great when leadership literally tells you, "If you can't change something, don't worry about it." Literally a slide in the slide deck.

Does anyone know at what rate TR gives severance for Canadian employees? In US I knew it seems 2weeks per year of experience capped by max 26 pay. As per canadian ESA, it seems 1 week per year of experience.

Anyone else give a zero rating to TR?

I wish someone with more optimism would convince me otherwise, but I think things will only get worse here?

Reuters reports on layoffs announcements, but excludes it’s own. https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/tech-firms-wall-street-lead-job-cuts-corporate-america-2023-01-11/

aka the annual cull. did someone not do the math or was this a calculated move to just sc--w with peoples lives. so far im not impressed with this leadership. periodt. #stevecomegetyaboy

Instead of trying to do your best, thinking that you will increase your chances of keeping your job when the layoffs come, maybe it's better to put more effort into looking for a better job. There are still many who, despite everything, think that... — read more
