Thread regarding TransUnion layoffs

TransUnion Layoffs 2nd Round - March 2024

In November 2023, public news said to laying off 1300 employees that should be converted in my mind as 2000 at-least. They only filed WARN notices in Illinois for only 339 employees. So this latest round this week might be another 300-500 or so employees? If the math is right, there will be 3rd more round in 3rd quarter with remaining. In my opinion, this plan was in works since couple years before they pulled a trigger after aligning and hiring bunch of folks in off-shore.

Any thoughts?

The plan is there is no plan. Whoever’s working on “the plan” today will be part of the next 1-2 layoffs that CC guaranteed. Writing has been on wall. There’s no plan.

What about the security of consumer data? Is the answer “we’re working on that?”. It’s Laughable and completely frightening.

WARN for Illinois is relevant only to Illinois impacts. If everyone worked in Illionois your logic may make sense.

"Embrace failure" was the motto from our recent Town Hall. I take this as an admission that leadership doesn't know how to execute their plans, so out of desperation they're just going to "Hail Mary" and hope it's a winning strategy.

This occurred because of the epic failure caused Project Rise and Abhi getting pushed out. After acquiring Neustar, the CIO (Venkat) stepped in Abhi shoes and appointed all of his cronies who started hiring a ton of offshore "talent". The writing was on the wall with all the open source tools they wanted to embrace with no vision. This will end in failure with Sr leaders losing their jobs and TU executives scrambling to bring talent back state side. What short sighted fools

I don't know if I would agree with the "couple years" part. It seems very thrown together. Last round they gutted several teams with no support off shore or otherwise for physical hardware still in use. They want to close and move a bunch of datacenters still. I guess the plan is to outsource all that now? It seems very half thought out.
