I'm still in contact with some of my colleagues who left, and they all wonder what I'm still waiting for. None of them regretted leaving Refinitiv in the slightest. People finally got some relief. I would really like to hear from someone who actually regretted it. Anyone? It looks like someone had to be very unlucky to have some regrets.

Left last year. Zero regrets. Best decision I ever made. We were being asked to do the impossible, upper management was making legit crazy decisions, and everyone I worked with was miserable. Some of them have left too, or are about to, and I'm so glad. No one's health and sanity are worth any job.
My only regret is not being able to take more of my coworkers with me. Looking back on my experience, it felt like it turned into some kind of debtor's prison (good job overpaying for Refinitiv, LSEG). Nothing was ever good enough, I felt as if I was getting poorer, and my confidence fell through the floor. There are some truly evil people running that place. Get out while there's still time. If you need encouragement to leave, look up executive pay for LSEG on workspace . That will show you where their priorities lie.
Haha! Recent leaver here, and MY only regret that I didn’t do it years ago. That place got worse and worse … after most people with any ability realised they’d be better off anywhere else. Leaving an office drowning in earpiss.
But I’m only posting because the previous two messages are so similar to my view, that it might as well be me writing it. I’ll bet I know who you are, and I hope you’re having a good time. As to the original poster, just stop checking here and get out, really.
Leaving has done wonders for my mental health. Once I realised that LSEG's top-to-bottom awfulness was the root cause of my personal misery, I was out of there like a bat out of he-l. No job lined up. But zero regrets. ZERO.
My only regret is that I can't witness the doom firsthand 🍿
