Thread regarding Thomson Reuters layoffs

I know this does not have to deal with layoffs but not t is TR related.

Why does the company have to torment us with these constant check-in’s with managers, self evaluations, password changes, required seminars to take (most of which does not apply to to the vast amount of TR employees anyway ) and virtual town halls? How about just let us do our jobs and not inflict upon us Microsoft Teams fatigue?

@riu+1dnnog8G - Excellent and accurate post. "Transformation" and "reorganization" and all the other corporate buzz words are meaningless. It's all about making the numbers look good now at the expense of the future. The future here is entirely short-term.

I agree totally. All of it is a waste of time. A manager should know what each of their employees do and if they aren’t doing their job then fire them. Simple… easy.. great time management. That and these courses which I will never use is a huge waste of time and stressful. Honestly I am hoping I am in the next round of layoffs. I feel like I am back in school again with homework and project deadlines. The fork is stuck in me

I laugh at the “Ask Us Anything” meetings where they leave the last 10 minutes of an hour meeting for questions. But like others have pointed out, the HR ‘people’ need to meet their OKRs.

NPS scores have dropped once again.
We continue to focus on transformations and reorganizations, while we lay off people who know how our products work and drive the rest of the people out the door with constant threat of layoffs and bad performance reviews, and no recognition for sincere hard work.

It's so HR can meet their OKRs. They seem to think they've invented fire by offering L____dIn Training. Way to add big value...

Because it creates a purpose for someone to be employed.
It’s called job creation for the unemployable :-)
