@ay must sit in IBS. Only group d-mb enough to fire someone and realize they needed the person and hire them back

But the person who lost all of the options went back after being laid off. Factset isn’t the only firm hiring. It’s a fair question.

@be Thanks for your groundbreaking, revolutionary advice. Obviously there is a hiring bo-m, people can “leave” if it’s so bad. If they can’t, how dare they voice their opinions or struggles? They should su-k it up and be grateful they have jobs.

Black and white advice reeks of privilege, lacking basic empathy.

Taking a leaf from your response, if the posts seem like whining, by all means
read something else.

Ex factset person here. Does everyone at factset now whine this much about everything? Have any of them worked anywhere else. I assume it’s only a few people writing here because the place sounds like prison. You really can escape if it’s that bad

Everyone is worried about the proxy- should be more focused on the spot on Reuters article and the new lame CV of the CFO with no experience but one key thing.. writing on the wall, PE here we come.

@ay

Why did you go back?

When I was laid off, I forfeited all of my unvested RSUs and Options… none of which I got back when I was rehired. Must be nice to have a “C” in front of your job title.

I would guess those options are all under water.

@OP I read the proxy/ separation agreement. She made $4.5 mil in compensation. She will be eligible for FY’26 bonus as well as hold all her stock options/awards.

All this while backfills were not given, many were laid off, people working multiple roles were paid 1-2% increases.

I’m speechless with the corporate governance.
