I saw the announcement that their AI tool deep research was released. It seems barely useable, and Bloomberg’s tools are miles better. They’ve been supposedly building this for years. Are people at LSEG even doing any work or is this all a giant... — read more

Curious to know what people think about It
When “Open Roles” Aren’t Really Open: A Look at LSEG Workspace Hiring
Be cautious with Product roles in Workspace at LSEG. Many of these “open” roles already have a preferred candidate. The process can feel more about optics than real competition which means external applicants may be investing time into something... — read more
You're being gaslit
Pay equity? That's a massive raise for the CEO and "meaningful increases" for low-mid rank salaries, but 2 years of 0% awards for director level and above. HR said to focus on total comp but oh dear what's that you say cumulative inflation since... — read more

LSEG Stock Price hit 52 week low, down 33% in the last 12 months
How low does the stock need to go before something is done to replace current management with qualified, experienced people to right the ship?
Are posts being filtered out?
Seems there are less posts being published when word is how bad it is internally. These forthright posts must be being "monitored"
Hundreds of people impacted globally
LSEG continues with layoffs and hundreds of people have been impacted. It seems the company even took down a post about it as it’s no longer there. It feels like another move to cut costs and make the numbers look better while the stock struggles... — read more
LSEG AI press releases - any substance?
LSEG has put out a handful of press releases in recent weeks (Databricks, Reuters). Is there genuine substance to what’s being announced, or is the firm simply attempting a bit of damage limitation after the rather underwhelming outcomes of the... — read more
The next culling
Just letting everyone know, the planning is underway. I've seen multiple things come through my email. Oct is going to su-k. I can't say more because I like my pay check and I'm sure it will be gone soon enough.
The good part about working here is definitely the team
They’re the reason I show up. The pay doesn’t really cut it, and the manager is clueless, but I’ve never worked with such a great group. Having experience across quite a few companies, I’m very grateful for this. It’s exceptionally rare. Just needed... — read more

Redundancy Process at Major UK Index Provider – Flawed and Unfair?
I wanted to share my experience with a recent redundancy process at a large financial services company in London, UK. Earlier this year, the company announced a restructuring, merging two client-facing teams into a new function. Staff were told... — read more
If they put your role at risk, do this...
Firstly, this is common, and you’re not the only one affected. The reason they gave you is BS. They just want you out, and this is how they operate currently. Secondly, they will tell you to keep it to yourself. Don’t do it! Share it with your... — read more
Only One Employee Per Role Will Stay!
The whispers are getting louder executives have made their move. A brutal wave of layoffs is coming, and only the top performer in each role will make the cut. Their motive? Slashing costs, boosting profits, and proving to investors that their... — read more
Is your job at risk of termination?
Higher management aims to balance team members across multiple locations to ensure 24/7 support. If your team isn’t aligned with this, there’s a high chance you could be at risk of termination at every the end of each quarter.

Satvinder Singh out at LSEG
Satvinder Singh, CEO of the largest division, abruptly leaves LSEG and the only statement on this is via rumor site “The Trade”? How about an official statement from the company on why this happened and what their plan is going forward? Instead... — read more
Everybody should start quiet quitting
That’s about all LSEG deserves from us at this point. In fact, I’ve decided it’s my New Year’s resolution. From now on, I’m going to make sure I do just the bare minimum. It won’t be easy - many of us have been conditioned to believe we owe this... — read more
SAS
SAS 2025 was a disappointing spectacle, a cheap show mirroring everything LSEG stands for—void of inspiration and lacking motivation. In many locations, people carried on with their work, merely pretending to watch the hollow display of buzzwords... — read more

Pay increases 2025
Give up any expectations. The upcoming pay increases will be largely symbolic, and some may not see any raise at all. With rising inflation and a shrinking workforce, employees face more work for diminishing pay. Meanwhile, ensuring our CEO receives... — read more
Happy New Year to current D&A management

Why have posts been removed?
Says a lot about the backbone of a once proud company. A few hard truths and the spineless masters kick and scream at the feedback. Sums up the rabble that is now pretty much a dictatorship.
No word no bond
As we leave behind the core essence of the brand, Dictum meum pactum has become a thing of the past. Instead, they offer no promises, and that is precisely what you can expect here. Move on and leave this toxic place behind—unless the severance is... — read more
