Stagnation is not good
Guys - I’ve been working almost 40 years and worked at numerous companies. The more I moved, the more I’ve learned, the more I’ve been paid. Group I was with most people had been their 1st or 2nd job in 20+ years. Stagnation is not good - why you... — read more

What's keeping you at TR?
I'm interested to know what's keeping the people who are unsatisfied with their jobs at TR? I'll start. The only reason I'm still here is the fact I'm yet to find a new job that would pay if not the same, then at least close to what I'm making now... — read more

Share price is at highest levels
This usually means layoffs, outsourcing and “transformation” are already factored into the price. Location closures, downsizing, bonus below 100%, reduced severance and no promotions are here to stay. Employee morale is taking a hit with this new... — read more
Product is hiring! (Or not)

Dysfunction
Products that used to be owned by a single reporting line are now owned by a half dozen, all with different and sometimes contradictory OKRs. I'm really tired of this BS.
Would you rather them pretend to care, or show you how little they care?
Prior to the new regime, most decisions were based on a network of who you knew, not what you were capable of. Those folks were protected, so you see them leaving or getting purged from the company, although some are still hiding and in denial. Now... — read more
Value added by my manager - I don't see it
How would you rate your managers, according to how much value they add? In my case, all he has achieved is to encourage me and a few other people to leave TR as soon as possible.
The worst culture, the worst managers, the worst work environment...
Is there anything TR is best at when it comes to its employees? Because I have no issues coming up with the things the company is the worst at and yet I'm having trouble coming up with a single thing it's best at. I'm at the point where I'm warning... — read more

What will this strategy bring?
The only people left are the ones that either can't find a job, or have a really sweet gig, and holding on until they are told to leave with their severance. The mass exodus in talent over the past few years is astounding. I watched people be forced... — read more
This is no longer the same company

Does TR have any solution for the loss of experts?

Couldn’t care less for this company?
Visionary leaders? The only vision TR has is to make lots of money for its shareholders. Period! Employee loyalty and going the extra mile means nothing. The only plan they have to grow the company is to cut costs and RIF people, even if it means... — read more

Bonus
I'm most likely taking a new job. What is the requirements to collect the full yearly bonus at TR? Is it March 31 or am I already entitled to it?
I hate my job
I used to love what I do, but TR has managed to beat that out of me. I probably should have left before it came to this point, but it was a gradual process and it didn't hit me until it was too late. Now I'm not sure what to do. I'm too old for a new... — read more
