It is truly sad what has happened to TR, the HR folks are totally complicit in all of this. Never have I ever seen a group of people that were nothing other than a hired set of executioners and yes people than this group. I have sat in more meetings... — read more

Somebody mentioned this in one of the other posts and I think it bears repeating. If you are laid off, the company is not obligated to pay you severance. There's no law that requires it. The company can give it and usually does to avoid any future... — read more 

TR is my first job. Some acquaintances work for our competitors and when they tell me about their experiences at work, it seems to me that the grass there is much greener. I'm even starting to think about applying for work there. Is there anyone who... — read more 

Unfortunately there is no career potential anymore at TR, it is more hang on, enjoy a good quality of life, until they RIF you. It is no more than a 35 hour a week job, decent pay, good benefits, totally appropriate for people who that... — read more 

A customer wants to know the price before purchasing. Seems reasonable. But the information is missing on customer- and sales-facing systems, and anyone who last year would have known the answer has either been reassigned or fired without... — read more 

Rumored cuts among mid/senior execs, Proposition Strategy and Product Org in first weeks of January. True?

"go back to leaders who are high in exceeds and have them ‘prioritize’ the exceeds and move some to achieved. They may also need to look at ‘achieved’ to ‘partially achieved’. We need to be really diligent with ratings as these will be used in... — read more

Who is pulling the strings at TR? Is it new ceo s Hasker? Brian Pecc? Segment & sub segment leaders? Every year, front line workers are laid off but yet the managers remain, regardless of their performance. What value does it bring to TR and... — read more 

*This may sound like an over reaction, however my advice to every single TR employee is to update your resume and begin to build your network and make it known you are open to opportunities outside of TR. You may have survived this round and the last... — read more

Has anyone heard of layoffs or changes in these groups? It seems like changes have been trickling down but many people think a major reorg is in the works.

How is severance in the US handled by new management? It used to be VPs had a year. Everyone else had 2 weeks per year worked. Is this still the case?

It’s been quiet here for a little while. Are they done for the year? There hasn’t been much update on areas hit and numbers. In one of the threads, someone said severance was dependent on people not talking. Don’t think that was the case the last few... — read more 

There's probably around 22,500 staff working for TR at present. The company most likely has a predetermined "ideal" staffing level to be achieved over a number of years, assuming they're not going to sell up and go on to something else... — read more 

With all the cuts that happened it’s difficult to remain positive and it’s even more disheartening to watch my coworkers that were impacted. Two of these are colleagues that I’ve worked side by side with for years and who I am not afraid to admit... — read more 

How likely is that there will be Thomson Reuters Layoffs 2021? Any news or rumors?

*Try to remember that even if you are lucky enough to be safe this year, many will not be. They will have to keep coming in so that they can get a paycheck for as long as they can and severance. When I was laid off, not only was the management and HR... — read more 

Who's going to pick up the work of those RIF'd in the latest round? There can't be that many actual workers left on the floor now, and I can't see outsourcing being a solution due to COVID. Also picking that TR will add insult to injury here and get... — read more 

Layoffs are ongoing over the next few weeks and we have no idea who will be impacted, how many, what departments or how it has been determined. All of these issues combined will only cause more anxiety, stress and DEFINITELY fear. Leave it to TR to... — read more

I am at a point where I hate this company. I hate it for devastating so many families at a time like this - and don't give me that "this is just business" c-ap. TR just eliminated experienced, hardworking employees who gave years of their life to... — read more

US people laid off in past years' Q4, did you get paid your AIP bonus as part of the severance agreement?

Yes, there are usually layoffs in November with this company. Don't we know it. However, they have been going on for nearly a decade now, which begs the question: Why? TR management get paid large salaries and all they can come up with as a growth... — read more 

Didn’t see this mentioned here yet, but 3 offices closing and reducing footprint at 3XSQ, while in-line with the direction from a few years ago of decreasing real estate footprint, is a bit newsworthy. As far as I can tell, no layoffs... yet. But... — read more 

The company seems to be making much lately of suddenly caring for employees' mental health, eg the mental health day next month. Call me very cynical, but it's a pity the company didn't exhibit such a "caring" attitude when it quite happily laid off... — read more 

If you give a two weeks notice at TR, do they let you finish out your two weeks or do they terminate immediately and pay you out the last two weeks or not pay the last two weeks at all?

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts about ageism and people being being RIF'd for what would seem to be poor performance in the latest round of layoffs. Couldn't help but notice that the majority of people laid off in my area were 50+ and... — read more

Got an insider tip that layoffs will not occur. Instead the company will find ways to set up employees to be fired on made up reasons. Watch yourself and start looking asap!

All hands call hosted by Hasker today. He seemed to be shifty. Brian P spoke briefly and acted nervous. Doesn’t seem like the company as a whole is doing well. Hasker said the same Mumbo jumbo about “please our customers” but gave no concrete... — read more
