That’s about all TR deserves from us at this point. In fact, I’ve decided it’s my New Year’s resolution. From now on, I’m going to make sure I do just the bare minimum. It won’t be easy - many of us have been conditioned to believe we owe this company our all in exchange for the bare minimum compensation. But I’m determined to break out of that mindset and give only what’s absolutely necessary.

Start? Who already hasn’t?
Late 2025 they are going to start moving more US jobs to Mexico. Be prepared.

lol. I was in that all hands. What’s funny is that the question was presubmitted. He didn’t have to take it but chose to, then chose to say “no, it isn’t being g shopped and if it were you’d hear it from me”.

@1ak+1wa202o9 toxic, yes, unique, no. He is modeling himself after Steve and Mike. Greed attracts greed.
I’ve had my run is with MH over the years and he’s a total di-k. Thinks he’s hot sh-t. When Covid hit he joined all his video calls in sweats or a track suit. Then suddenly realized that wasn’t a good look and started to dress up and have better lighting and stop eating during his meetings.
If you ask him what the vision is for the BU he felt threatened and had to have 1 on 1 meetings to “coach” people.
He’s not someone who has real empathy for others. He just knows how to fake it.
@13v+1wa202o9 selling it can make sense, keeping could’ve made sense. TR just had no interest in putting forward as Eastwood put it “management attention” to move the business toward a path which would result in the revenue growth the company was looking for.
The sale itself aside, the reality is the leader (MH) which led the sale is/was far more toxic than the OP of this thread and is staying at TR. Both lying to folks along the way to achieve his ends (not exactly “good faith”), and also trying to drum up excitement for it as it was announced as all of the employees who went along with the sale are in a far less secure position in many many ways. Compare 401k match between TR and IB for a start.
It was probably the best move to sell FindLaw. They depend on Google traffic. And in the past 6ish months, especially since the sale, they have fallen off Google. They used to show up for any lawyer related term + city (criminal lawyer Houston) but now only Super Lawyers is the only one there consistently. This combined with AI search results and LLMs like ChatGPT the directory business is likely not sustainable and will likely dwindle over then next 5 years. More people use ChatGPT than Bing today.
Internet Brands got sold a good brand today, but their whole business is directory sales. I suspect they will have a difficult time in the next 5-10 years unless they find a different way to monetize.
@1uln+1wa202o9 beware, there is far more toxicity in some of the “business leaders” at TR, especially sales and revenue side.
Example: MH sold Findlaw for $400M, which is fine on the surface, except he lied to all of them the whole way providing reassurance that the business wasn’t being shopped a few months before the sale was announced. He’s a lying snake that will say anything to influence his mark to do what he wants them to do. Both toxic and also not sustainable.
They would save money long term if they offered voluntary buyout money again.
Dude, just leave. That toxic behavior is not something I want from a co-worker.
Start using that unlimited vacation!
The CEO needs you to quit for real so he can make more money.
