I worked at TR for almost 20 yrs. retired in September 2018. Eagan/content ops. There were a lot of problems, mainly with ever changing reorgs and management being fairly clueless about the actual work. But I really take issue with all these comments implying everyone was slacking and complaining. I was in a group of really hard workers who cared about the products we worked on. No one was slacking off just collecting a paycheck.
Often the issue was that many of the worker bees cared way more about the products being accurate and high quality than the management folks did.

They really dont have to give much as long as they give it uniformly. And the bigger the rif, they less they have to give.

It depends on whether you are ex-Thomson or Ex-Reuters ?
Thanks for the info. Yes, terminators have been observed. My guess is October/November lay-offs in the "new TR"

-- only for permanent staff. Bear in mind nothing is contractual here, so we are at their mercy literally - so fash a wicked smile everytime you see your boss.
BTW, 3rd party terminators have been observed in the office, collecting data, holding secret meetings with managers. Its here folks, won't be too long now.
