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
Unofficial Xmas Party (London)
Any news if this is happening this year?
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...
Layoff.com for LSEG?
Is it possible to get a layoff.com page up for LSEG? How? Can anyone do this?
Interesting Refinitiv-LSE merger info
good read for those too busy (99,99% of us) to track what's been happening, check the comments too: https://www.ft.com/content/0c7c6931-9f56-4e43-87cf-91422630a146#comments-anchor
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
New GLINT employee engagement survey
New survey is out, described as confidential, then you have to enter your email and birth date to complete it - WTF?
Whom would you recommend this company to?
Those who have no other option Those who need little experience Those you don't like To no one
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
Has there been any info on more layoffs that has been confirmed by an official source?
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
Will they finally turn cost cutting strategy into growth strategy?
I'm totally disappointed with this company. Refinitiv's main strategy seems to be cost cutting and I'm wondering where will such a strategy take it?
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
Been here for less than a year
What are my chances of being cut next month?
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
Anything new on cuts?
I'm getting more and more worried each day.
Change in senior management
DC gone, DW retiring, ED leaving next year... What are your thoughts on this?
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
October is a month away, anyone worried?
October is a month away, anyone worried?
Reputation
What’s Refinitiv’s reputation like at the moment after 3 plus outages this year? Guess LSEG must be having buyers regret now.
People leaving, their tasks not being handed over to anybody else.
I am looking for a new job. I am beyond frustrated. Once someone announces their departure, there's no recruitment and no knowledge transfer. There's no planning, only putting out proverbial dumpster fires. Will the management ever wake up, or will... — read more
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
I could never have imagined that the situation would be like this
When you first came to Refinitiv, could you ever have imagined that the company would become so degraded? I could never have thought that. I came here because I believed the company had a lot of potential and I think if some other people managed... — 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
Any more news about layoffs?
Hearing from teams affected in SC. Are they over?
Admins in Geneva
I hear they're shutting down teams in Geneva and moving everything to Poland... does anyone know how bad it is?
