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.

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.

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
Lead on my team doesn’t do any work

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.
Employee Survey
How honest were you? I was extremely blunt. It will be interesting to see if I'm still employed after Thanksgiving.

Anyone know what means in regards to RIF plans?
Can AI handle that new position you are looking to hire
Anyone else privy to the new policy that roles can’t be backfilled or hired until you prove why AI can’t do the role? And then you have to go and justify your position to MAV and ME, for them to approve.
How is TR going to fund their newly announced $1 Billion share repurchase?

Eagan, Ann Arbor locations
Does anyone know what the future holds for the Eagan and Ann Arbor office locations? Are these locations being deprioritized? Any plans to close either or both?
Recent layoffs
I've heard of people getting laid off recently in Minnesota. Anyone have details on what is happening?
Mid year reviews
Mid year reviews are here and my department has to answer additional questions that seem like we are a) justifying our ability to do our jobs and b) having a contest to see which of us are going above and beyond (aka supplying free labor) our job... — read more
Why Are They So Eager For Us To Use AI Daily ?

This place used to have energy, now it feels like a funeral home. When did we all just give up?
Analytics leadership
How come product and marketing analytics teams have the most ineffective leaders who also happen to grow fast- it’s true for product and marketing analytics organizations. VPs, SDs who can’t even write a single line of SQL. What’s the magic? Should I... — read more
LCM post was removed!
Where have the posts about corporates restructure gone? Seems TR don't like criticism about LCM on here.
TR Data Analyst Layoffs?
I was offered employment for a data analyst role based in the Ann Arbor office. I have seen a lot of yearly layoff talk. I anticipate this role would be extremely susceptible to that same fate? The role would focus on customers in the government... — read more
The Disheartening Reality of Annual Reviews
No matter how hard you push yourself, or how much you exceed goals, it's always the same: "Achieved." Winning awards, earning accolades, bringing in significant revenue through new sales, or cutting costs—none of it seems to matter. It all feels... — read more
