Thread regarding Thomson Reuters layoffs

What does immediately mean?

Immediately as today, immediately as this week, immediately as this month, quarter... What does it mean? I'm so sick and tired of this waiting game.

If you plan on laying off more people just go ahead and do it already. Don't keep us waiting and guessing while our collective blood pressure shoots through the roof.

For those fearing the 8th- I wish you good luck on the next step. I really do. Just try and relax.

The good news is you will find something and when you do you’ll realize how great it is to be off the treadmill of terrible-ness that is TR.

I'm sorry, I just can't stomach having to pledge to a company named "Refinitiv." It sounds like I'm pledging to a new blood pressure medication, except it's having the opposite effect. And besides, why should I pledge to a company who is planning to sack people a week later anyway? They're not pledging their commitment to us, so why should I pledge to them? All I want to do is my job and get a paycheck and be left alone until the day I get called into HR.

Reminds me off when Compaq took over Digital and we had a video address from Houston.

All us Digital folks in uk were asked to stand up and hug the person stood next to us as a bonding exercise. The chap said “Hug a buddy” ....there was a ripple of laughter , but sadly they were serious.

Immediately was how quickly everybody on the Craig David call wanted to puke when he asked them to "stand up & take the Refinitiv Pledge".

I believe it's called adding insult to injury............

Immediately after the 8th announcement it looks like. Same day or the 9th if you're ahead of the US timezone significantly. 99% its one of these days. India offices may escape until mid next year as they aren't refiniters yet.
