All Hands Townhall

Well, that was 1 hour of absolute cringe. If anything, they'd inspire people to follow our TAP colleagues and leave this sinking ship. Do they really believe people are inspired by their propaganda of fake anecdotes? Hilarious.

Why am I no longer trying to achieve good performance?

When someone asks me why I'm demotivated and only work the bare minimum, I tell them this: Whoever said the company hasn't told managers to give a certain number of "partially achieved" ratings regardless of performance is absolutely lying. I... — read more

TR - Glassdoor Best Place to Work?

I was surprised to see that TR was considered a Best Place to Work by Glassdoor. Things must have improved significantly since I left. Glad to see this for my former colleagues still at TR.

Morale at all time low

Worker morale is at all time low. Leadership is largely silent. Many workers in the US have been eliminated and replaced with low cost workers in Mexico, Philippines, and India. Support resources have been eliminated. “Do more (work) with less... — read more

Why are you still working hard?

Many know that hard work here means nothing anymore, but they still do their best. Why is that? I have a friend who was one of the best employees this company's had and guess what? This company decided they didn't need him.

No more extra work for free

They simply won't stop overloading me. I have more work to do every week. So far, I have done extra work for free, but I do not intend to further endanger my health and do extra work for free anymore. Admittedly, I would have preferred to have... — read more

Did anybody else notice

That they stopped answering all the town hall questions. For a short period of time last year they did follow up emails with questions and answers. Those all seemed to have stopped. I thought this company was all about transparency. Must just be... — read more 

Unused time off

Was anybody else unable to use their time off in 2021 due to deadlines, lack of resources and no backup? With the "use it or lose it" policy, TR wins by making people work when they are supposed to be off and not paying for the PTO.

No clear direction or strategy

If I did my job as poorly as this ELT is doing theirs, I'd have been fired a long time ago. Yet they remain in their positions with huge pay and fat bonuses intact. TR has no direction, no strategy. We have no idea where we'll be next year, let alone... — read more

Breaking Colorado’s Transparency Law

There are several remote positions listed among the 1200 current open roles. However, those that are remote do not show salary information upfront. I believe this is a violation of Colorado’s pay transparency law. Wonder why a company with so... — read more

Promotions

From what I can see, if you want to get promoted you have to be careful not to pi-s off anybody who is even one level above you, because people here remember and will be happy to trip you up over a smallest disagreement. That in itself shouldn't be... — read more

Stop it with the "why do you stay" cr-p

First of all, this is a place to come and vent. If you're shocked to see posts by people who are sick and tired of TR and its cr-p on a layoffs page then that's on you. Second of all, nobody owes you an explanation. Everybody's life story is... — read more

Changing EIN for W-2s in 2022

I received an email that the issuing EIN will be changing for 2022. Seems innocent enough, but could it be getting different units in order for a sale or a spin-off? I’m not from HR though I wish I would have majored in HR, but hindsight is 20/20. — read more

Guy who left three months ago looks like a new man

$300 million USD for next year's change program

Amazing year in 2021 isn't it? $300 million USD thrown at laying off people and moving their jobs to other countries. What is in store for 2022? Same play. Another $300 million thrown at moving jobs somewhere outside the US. Didn't you catch the... — read more

Wrong strategy

As far as I've noticed, the main strategy of our company is growing profits by cutting costs. Usually it's a sign of dying company. Do those at the top really think that is sustainable in the long term? Until when will this be the only... — read more

Why salespeople can’t sell the products?

Salespeople can’t sell the products. One must really have to think about why. Could it be that tenured, high-performing salespeople felt they had no choice but to leave because of an insulting compensation plan? Could it be that the infrastructure... — read more
