I am an ex-Reuters staff member (25+ years) and I am currently employed by Refinitiv. My role has been confirmed as safe. However, I cannot stop thinking about how what has happened has happened in such a short space of time i.e. 10 years. It... — read more

Seems like the new corporate organization foresee the move of support functions (help desk and customer admin) to “cheaper” locations. So not only FTE but also contractors working in those depts - 30% in CustAdmin - will be affected. We will know... — read more 

It seems tech teams are not yet affected in the current layoffs wave. J. Finch said that it will happen in the coming weeks or months, promising to be as quick as possible. If you have any insights or useful information please share.

Is it true that October 31 is when this whole layoffs-palooza will finally come to an end? It will be a nightmare waiting for the next two weeks to pass, but at least there is something to look forward to if this turns out to be true. I'll take two... — read more

We have lost a third of our team and from what I'm seeing we are expected to provide the same output as we did prior to layoffs. How in the world do they expect us to achieve that and still actually go home occasionally? Who is the genius who thought... — read more

Do we know what happened with the meeting that the TAMS had yesterday in London?

Could be as early as next month for around $3B! Heard it from senior FXall managers who are helping with the sale. BS is not wasting time selling valuable assets then whatever left from Refinitiv. It’s clear that this is not a long term play but... — read more 

Bcp underway. Assuming is HD and OMS getting the chop

Any thoughts on TR layoffs (not refinitiv)? Any insight into the longer term plans? Are they setting up to make it easy to sell the remaining parts (Legal, Corp, Tax) and get back to where it all started in news?

We outsourced it to this place? Another management stroke of genius! So excited! Remember to pledge before you go!! #BeSociopathic #FasterThanTheSpeedOfLayoffs Question. As Hub is quieter than an Eikon sales hotline, should I post here about how I... — read more 

While we get news of the bloodbath everywhere in the world, some people have apparently the time to block access to that page if you are trying to connect with an Refinitv or TR IP address. Use an Incognito or a VPN. Nice move btw...

Customer admin and Helpdesk hit

How many more days/weeks/months of this do we have to look forward to?

ELT still in hiding. Over the top boys! We've secured our own futures and will gleefully watch yours be cut down from the quilted comfort of our executive armchairs. When the gunfire subsides, the bodies counted and the hundreds of families ruined... — read more 

Out of curiosity, does somebody from Europe mind telling us what kind of severance packages are being offered to people laid off there? I've heard we don't even come close to what people overseas receive, but I'm having trouble believing that the... — read more

5% - representing 1,100 headcount to relief. Wrexham, UK and USA still far away from the figure needed. Moreover, for god sake LT will deliver at least 15% addition than forecasted (perhaps seek 20% to keep them away from chopping board). Collective... — read more 

approx a dozen gone today. Some insensitive actions towards a couple. No moral intelligence shown. I can't see how the newco will be better. I wish those affected all the best. In a way they are better off being out of all of this.

What are people in US legal hearing? Seems like we're heading towards layoffs as well but no one seems to know anything, which is causing even more uncertainty and anxiety.
