Thread regarding Thomson Reuters layoffs

Open roles

Some roles have been open for months. What is going on? Is TR really unable to find suitable candidates or is no one capable wanting to come and work here anymore? I don’t remember ever having any position open as long as it now.

@9dzo+1f7EUhNR Yes, but be aware that you'll our be paid way less than the market rate and your position is not secure. Plus, don't expect to be trained properly or someone to hold your hand or shown the ropes. And you have to be patient. It'll take a while before "IT" ( we don't teally have a proper IT department--they've been outsourced and just following a script or playbook: no mentation--it's like dealing with a robot, which funny enough is what TR is trying to accomplish: automate everything and everyone) to have your computer to have all the apps and software for you to be able to do your work properly. If you're young and have been out of law school recntly, you have a longer shelf-life, until you've been automated.

@1zqu+1f7EUhNR The year was successful because they cut employees.

What they prioritized were those in sales roles. They are cheaper to hire.

The other roles they will take their sweet time. Still over 1000 open roles across the word.

Their may even be a freeze in effect that us little guys and gals don’t know about.

They did lay people off last year during their most successful year in I don’t know how many years.

They don't want to fill if they can avoid it, or they want to fill the role in the lowest cost destination. If they absolutely need to fill the role, and they can't find resources in the lowest cost destination, they'll try to underpay in a higher cost destination, and then underresource, understaff, underbudget the role.

If you're reading The Layoff to figure out whether you should apply to TR, the info on the Layoff is pretty accurate.

They don't want to fill them. Keeping the head count down for as long as possible saves money.
