Just wanted to wish everybody good luck on a new Monday. Whatever happens, we are all in this together.

Nothing new really. Where do you think Yahoo Finance have been getting their data from for all these years? Did that save the company? Result in a lots of new deals??? Get real... What's sad is that Yahoo Finance (and now probably Microsoft too) are... — read more 

David Craig and his entire leadership team should be fired, and quickly. David put the company into this position by spinning his management accounting bs and failing to lead. His single claim to fame - creating the risk business - actually doesn't... — read more 

For layed off people. If you try to copy stuff from your PC at work to a usb drive...Refinitiv blocked it...you can’t. They also killed your inet access. So you can’t upload it too.

Even though nothing can probably be done about the cuts at Wrexham mass layoffs, it felt good to hear that this issue got that much public attention with a debate in the UK Parlament and that the local authorities took interest and decided to help... — read more

Refinitiv block this forum, unable access via company network today, just because they afraid to hear the voice of people?

Hi All, I'm sure this varies per country, my role will be gone in a matter of months, just not sure how many months. If I take another job before I'm officially redundant am I still entitled to redundancy?

A friend who was laid off got a really good package and is out of this hell hole for good. This and several more issues within the past several weeks have made me personally pivot from fearing being on the list to hoping I'll get notified . Who'd... — read more

Pledge was a mockery; an insult to everyone. Is this Kindergarten? ELT just stands there, bobbing their heads, chanting in unison, "I'm so EXCITED, and I just can't hide it!". Bottom line is they are just caretakers until assets are sold off.

I'm not a fan of retrenchments, and feel very sorry for anyone affected. But in no way does it make sense to do help desk or tier 1 support out of a location as expensive as Geneva. You can get 6 to 8 people in a lower cost jurisdiction for the cost... — read more 

My team (of 7) has been laid off -- a few worked from the SF office. Few others in the SF office from F&R have been laid off as well. Can't speak for anyone else but my team, but our packages were pretty good. Good riddance.

Seems like the new corporate organization foresee the move of support functions (help desk and customer admin) to “cheaper” locations. So not only FTE but also contractors working in those depts - 30% in CustAdmin - will be affected. We will know... — read more

Today, they fired 120 out of 170 people in Geneva!

Not heard anything, I thought today was the day

the erstwhile F&R Mumbai sales office had it's share of bad news, with ~10 mid-senior tenured people in the redundancy list. Thankfully, the severance is gracious. There's expected to be another round in Q1 post appraisal, where the severance won't... — read more

Refinitiv not spared Bangalore , Hit hard on IT dept on first wave, even they laid off ground level engineers, not sure what will happen in next waves.
