D&A townhall with AS and DS - any thoughts?

I was listening with 1 ear due to a lot of work (Tue this week), but remember this: 1st part with both AS and DS participating: all is great, growth is good, future looks awesome, we will fire some more people in some areas, but give them... — read more

You really can't find another job?

Those who complain about everything here? I don't want to sound sarcastic, but I'm really interested in why people who obviously don't like anything here don't leave? Especially now, when it's easy to find a new job. Perhaps I'm wrong, maybe for some... — read more

No one's regretted leaving

Is it possible that I don't know anyone who has left here, or got cut, that isn't much better off now than they were at Refinitiv? I intend to leave, but first I asked my former colleagues a little about their new companies because I know that no... — read more

Refinitiv management totally silent

Is it only my own experience? I've been choosing my own next work challenges not to get bored to death, zero signs of any kind of leadership from anywhere...

What's stopping you from leaving?

I don't understand those who have been complaining for months and years, and they are still here. I'm not saying this company is ideal, but it's not all that bad. There are also people who have regretted going to other companies, having convinced... — read more 

Making yourself more marketable

OK, I understand that it's hard to make yourself indispensable to Refinitive, but I'm wondering what to do to stay marketable and irresistible to a new prospective employer after a long time here? _______ I have colleagues who, after 5, 6, 7 years... — read more

Motivation zero

They probably think that it is unnecessary to motivate employees in some way. I guess they think that having a job is motivation enough in itself. I gotta admit, I don't even know what more could be done to boost the morale here? Even if they gave... — read more 

People complain a lot

It’s okay to be dissatisfied and look for something better. However, I have worked in several companies in this industry and I can say that none of them were much better. It all depends on someone's priorities. Someone will say that it is much... — read more

They don't seem to understand the job at all?

I don’t think I’ve ever worked more than I have in the last year. However, they judged me to be underperforming. I worked more extra hours than ever. Of course, for nothing. If I gave 100 percent of myself in the past, during this year I gave 120... — read more

After a full day of working here I don't have it in me to try to improve my skills or knowledge and look for a better job

This is the worst. Day in day out I work here even though I don't feel any satisfaction and yet after the workday ends I just... drift through the rest of the day. I know the only way for me to get a better job is by improving myself in one way or... — read more 

I don't want to do extra work anymore

No sense in continuing to do extra work for nothing. My manager has noticed that I no longer work as much as I did before and I'm expecting to hear his criticism,,,,,,, Everything I have done so far will probably be belittled, because this company... — read more

Underperforming

So if someone gets graded underperforming because every manager has a target if 10% of staff underperforming. What happens next? If for some reason they decide to stay in role and not leave will they be made redundant? If they are in impossible role... — read more 

Info on layoffs

Reporting Violations

I'd rather work for a company that CFTC hasn't ordered to pay a civil monetary penalty for swap data reporting failures, so I wouldn't have to read news like this: The regulator added that Refinitiv was aware or had reason to suspect that this was... — read more

Bare minimum is still a bunch of work

I absolutely understand all those who say they don’t give their best because it’s not worth much here. However, I'm not sure what it means when someone says that they do the bare minimum. In my case, that minimum - what needs to be done - is still a... — read more

Take care of yourself first

Here's some honest, if painful advice. Start working on your resume and looking for a new job, if only for your own sanity. The senior leadership are jumping off with their golden parachutes and don't give a flying cr*p about you. Your superior... — read more

Oh, not again

I don't understand how they think it is sustainable, whenever someone leaves their work passes on to those who remain. Ever since my colleague left, his job has been done mostly by me. Now there is a person who was supposed to be a replacement but... — read more

Don’t worry

I was made redundant last year. With the redundancy package and a job in a lot better company with management who know what they are doing, I’m so happy now. Don’t worry there is a better world outside Refinitiv! Those of you who are working... — read more

Two years here is two too many

It's my second anniversary with Refinitiv this week and trust me when I tell you it hasn't been fun in any way, shape, or form. Maybe I got unlucky, but between an as----e manager who uses fear as a management technique and constant increases in work... — read more

Reputation

What’s Refinitiv’s reputation like at the moment after 3 plus outages this year? Guess LSEG must be having buyers regret now.

Refinitiv hit by third outage since April this Monday

Users in Asia and the Europe, Middle East and Africa region were most affected, leaving them able to see news headlines and prices but unable to open articles or data tools. Reuters said it was unclear how many of Refinitiv’s 40,000 customers and... — read more 

Does this company have a non-compete clause?

Hi, I recently received an offer to work at a competitor. Does this company have a non-compete clause anywhere? I will do my own due diligence, but it would also be very helpful if someone could also quickly confirm for me on here. I really hope I... — read more 

How would they cope in other companies?

Sometimes I wonder how our managers would cope in some other company. I’m almost certain that ordinary employees, hard workers, would fare much better than they would. It is nice and comfortable for them at Refinitiv. Outside of Refinitiv, I don't... — read more 

Don't quit

I know more and more people are considering quitting but at this point, that would be a huge mistake, at least in my opinion. Refinitiv has been increasing layoffs and will continue to do so. If you quit now when you know more cuts are coming, you... — read more 

Can this mess be fixed?

What miracle needs to happen for this mess in Refinitive to be cleaned up? Problems just pile up, and leadership isn't solving any. When I think it can’t get any worse, this company convinces me otherwise. I used to think that at least some things... — read more
