Thread regarding TransUnion layoffs

Culture of lying

Previously I could at least believe some of what leadership preached (director level and above), but since neustar there hasn't been a single reliable leader in my engineering org. They keep talking about a TU culture, but it feels like a neustar culture growing like poison ivy. Is it the same across the leadership board for everyone else?

  1. Adamant about no more layoffs in the engineering org but then lays off an entire team within a season
  2. Told that offshoring changes are done but the hires more
  3. Which is great because leadership is so confident in their understanding of the mythical man month
  4. Repeatedly told by so, so many engineers that GCP is going to increase costs, yet leadership always acts surprised despite it being the 10th conversation this month on the topic
  5. The list goes on

One of these leaders said that product side generates revenue as their job and the engineering side reduces cost. But then they spend an unnecessary amount of money to gather the org into a hotel conference room to reiterate this and lies after lies in person.

It can't be like this across TU, can it?

Here's that article from The Gateway Pundit and it's worse than I thought.

Not only did the whistleblower tell that many skilled USA jobs are being replaced with Indians, apparently those jobs sent to India also were handling highly sensitive personal data of US citizens which, if true, could result in a fine against TU.

The Gateway Pundit website published on 1/6: Whistleblower Exposes TransUnion’s Shocking Outsourcing Scandal: Sensitive U.S. Data and Intelligence Databases are Being Handled by Underpaid Workers in India.

All about how jobs in the USA are going to India and people being laid off in the USA.

Replying to @2ngi+1vRXzT4o -

How legit is your source that there’ll be layoffs next March? Any senior level?

Don’t just assume and post things here.

I wouldn't go so far as saying they're lying as they are maybe uninformed in most cases. Again, many of the decisions going back to last year were made somewhat in a vacuum with most at VP level not being provided detail until after the decisions were already confirmed with HR and employee relations.

You've heard in all hands Chris say explicitly that impact in the US are mostly or predominately done. But never said done. Not that the message was for and across all of TU orgs and hence likely accurate. If he were to double click into GTDA, that's where you can expect the exception to be.

Expect March (end of Q1) there will be another, perhaps final, round (related to modernization anyway).
