Laid off in December, had to go on unemployment recently because I have still to find the right job. TR as a whole, thinks drastic change is always for the better (not true), and does not value their knowledgeable & loyal employees in the way that they should. No wonder they have such high employee turnover. They allegedly, had an outsourcing company make the decision on the recent December layoffs. Frankly, I don't understand how a third party, can precisely determine how much of an asset each individual brings to the organization by simply, looking at superficial stats, i.e. (how much they make, how long they've been with the company, what their job title is, primary office location, age, etc.) especially, if they aren't even a part of the organization to begin with.
Aside from the temporary setback that the massive layoffs have caused for thousands of employees, (including myself), the acquisition will have negative consequences on the product and the customer service across the Legal, Corporate & Finance business units as everything continues to unravel. However, it seems like Tax & Accounting had not been impacted by the massive restructuring and recent "Blackstone" acquisition. The good ole days at PL which later evolved into TR, are long gone, and it's a shame.
