Anyone thinking about filing a lawsuit? Being left in the dark not knowing whether we're going or staying is driving us mad
I know people who wouldn't mind getting the severance package
Maybe the ELT should have done a voluntary round first before deciding to cut people indiscriminately. Who knows, with so many employees being unhappy here for a while now, they might have even gotten enough to completely nullify the need for... — read more
Hearing a lot of talented people who hold up NSR discussing leaving
Not sure if it’s true or not but can’t be a good thing
I’m hearing even people in GCC are worried.
I’ve heard from a few sources that there is a lot of worry going on between our various India locations out of fear that there are duplicate roles there that will get eliminated between legacy TU and Neustar. You know it’s bad when even people in... — read more
Are y’all working hard?
Be honest here - tell me your daily day
Let everyone talk
People desire information about the commencement and locations of layoffs. Additionally, individuals are facing challenges in communicating with friends, family, and colleagues. Encourage them to share their feelings anonymously in an online forum... — read more
Please post ONLY the actual RIF / Layoff cases here.
Only hard data please - when, where, how etc.
Just read the TU Transformation Q&A - have you?
If you haven’t read the Q&A, definitely do a search for it on SP. Could this document be even more vague and add a million more questions in my mind…basically “coming weeks” to inform impacted employees continues to be the most up-to-date vague-a-s... — read more
Anyone got anything?
Anything? Anyone?
Be strong and let’s get through this. You’ll all be ok
Tech org getting hit hard likely & international
Lay-off’s Start Tomorrow
Got word that the lay-offs will officially start Monday 11/27. Good luck to everyone and know that when one door closes, another door opens.
Be proactive
I have been laid off twice at various companies. TU might end up being my third (or not). Words of wisdom: 1. Never be loyal to any company. Earn your keep, spew the company mantra, but realize companies are never loyal to you, never, no matter... — read more
Breach in S. Africa
Curious as to the thoughts around the news of a potential breach in S. Africa, again: https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/transunion-and-experian-face-30-million-hacker-ransom-demand-93CH-3242078 The timing is certainly interesting

Use TU's free LinkedIn Learning Sub to Find Your Next Job
Just found there's a LinkedIn course called "ChatGPT Prompts for Jobseekers". https://www.linkedin.com/learning/chatgpt-prompts-for-jobseekers I'm definitely not going through the traditional method of finding my next job outside of TU. What about... — read more
Eat Brix
Hey it’s Chris - returned from my yacht trip. About to chow down on some turkey. Hope you all are a lot so you have enough body fat to last you through the cold dark winter I caused. By the way, Venkat is TOTALLY invited to my thanksgiving this year... — read more
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone except Chris and Venkat
Hope everyone can try to have somewhat of a relaxing Thanksgiving under the circumstances. I hate the fact that those 2 are ruining the holidays for a lot of us. Stay strong and make sure you have contingency plans in case you did get a RIF
Anyone got any other updates?
Someone’s gotta know something - everything is all speculation right now
recently moved?
I’ve heard that if you recently moved or are going to move you won’t have a job anymore. If you have moved, did you stay or will you be a part of layoff? Will you get severance package if you move?
GCC - Townhall
Seems GCC India had a townhall and they received the same message from senior management and the townhall went for 2 minutes. The GCC folks are also worried that their positions will be impacted because of NeuStar guys. The biggest blunder in TU's... — read more
The not knowing what's happening is the worst
I wish there was more transparency around layoffs and everything else. Having to scour the internet to find out what's happening at TransUnion is less than ideal. I think this is a huge mistake our leadership is making and it's going to cost us in... — read more
No layoffs on Monday
Were there any layoffs today? I haven't heard of any but that doesn't mean much.
How did your layoff go?
Survived Monday. My TU laptop continued to work. No layoff emails were sent to my personal email. All is well for at least one more day. When someone gets laid off, please post TUs method on this board. What was the severence? Inquiring minds... — read more
Sacrificial pawns
Let's call it what it is. Board was probably NOT happy with Cartwright and the other C-suite, even though the board was behind the purges (pre and post pandemic) of long-term loyal TU leaders (ie Jim Pe-k loyalists). So he sacrifices 10% of the... — read more
HR Email - Performance Evals Dec 4
The HR lady just sent an email that says on Dec 4 managers have to submit performance evaluations of their direct reports. Seems incredibly fishy obviously given the layoff announcement.
Costa Rica
I guess we just didn’t read between the lines in this January 2023 article about all the jobs headed down to Heredia CR. HR, Product, Analytics, Neustar, etc. I think Experian and Equifax are also in Heredia. Sounds like quite a CRA bash down there... — read more
Anyone else lost motivation to work?
Been scanning websites to see if there's any news. This is wait is just too long.
Confused About Severance
The documents on The Hub state that if a bonus eligble associate is laid off in Q4 they will get 100% of the associate part of the bonus. (Assume the financial part would either be 0 or whatever the minimum is given the pi-s poor financial state of... — read more
do you still want to work at transunion?
oh well.. weird times, crazy execs. the public disclosure precedes the internal communication via email, underscoring a lack of transparency at transunion. the overall sentiment among employees is one of dissatisfaction, with a prevailing sense that... — read more
Manager Communication
Has anyone received communication from their manager? Are individual teams conducting meetings following Cartwright's announcement of dismantling TransUnion?
TU shine again or drops like star
Neustar $3Billion acquisition announced on Dec-21-2021. Since then Transunion stock experiencing head winds never returned story. Spending $3Billion when fed forecast plans to increase interest rates is very certain harmed transunion much more than... — read more
Global Technology Town Hall
Venkat's Town Hall was a joke. 4 minute speech that he read. Basically, regurgiating Cartwrights non-information, generic, corporate-speak. A big fat nothingburger.
10% RIF just announced
Man this place has turned into quite the clown car fast. We just had a small RIF a few weeks ago now email comes out that we are laying off 10% of workers over the coming weeks. Worst part is they haven’t notified anyone yet and will do so over... — read more
Typical RTO BS
During the town all we got the same garbage justification for RTO. There were so many angry comments about how the commute times and geographical dispersement of teams will do nothing for improved productivity which we all know is true. Leadership... — read more
Breach
Anyone else hearing rumors of an incident? A couple peers received legal hold notices.
Stock down over 25% today
Badly missed forecast. Now stock is at 6 year low. Wonder if even more layoffs are coming.
This place is a complete sh*tshow now
Integration with Neustar is going off the rails. Their tech leadership is completely inept and the animosity I’ve seen is like nothing I’ve ever experienced in my career. Along with the RTO, I think they are purposely trying to make people quit. ... — read more
They want to offshore everything
Legacy TU management is being pushed aside in favor of Neustar people. In enterprise tech they are heavily offshore and any new hiring has to be offshore. It’s going from bad to worse here.
Layoffs have occurred in IT
We were informed of layoffs that just happened across several units within enterprise technology. I don’t know the size and scope of it. I don’t think it was huge but it’s the first time since I’ve been here that layoffs have happened. — read more
