Please be careful before your separation date. You are still on the payroll until that date. So some actions like starting a new job before the separation date could put your severance pay at risk. Plus, while highly unlikely, you could be... — read more
Differences in separation date?
I wanted to see if anyone else believes that the separation date chosen for us is discriminatory/unfair. The separation date seems to have no correlation to our last day/fungibility of our role, nor does it have to do with tenure or position... — read more
How many in UK affected?
I am seeing a lot of post relating to Cobra which is US based but how many colleagues have been let go from the UK and which areas?
Would have been nice to have voluntary redundancy
Instead of culling the company with no rationale, why not simply just ask who would like to leave. I know several people that would have jumped at the chance but now they get to continue to work for a company that is going down hill
How worried are you about finding a new job?
Curious for those of RIfed how many are anxious about finding a new job before their severance runs out?
What does "Multi year transformation" refer to?
Will there be more layoffs?
Did a dirty one
Its a mess. Senior folks who built the company, many the only breadwinners of their families or on a visa let go in a moments notice. Corporate America at its best.
severance package
Whats the severance offered in the latest layoff ?
It’s sad….
It’s sad that Chris literally said that “it will be good for the company and help it grow”. Oh really? Good for who? It’s good for Chris and the stock holders. That’s about it. Don’t get me wrong, I am relieved and not stressed anymore but still feel... — read more
The lesson here is mergers are the devil
Any time there is a merger this happens. While I've avoided RIFs during previous mergers, I got su-ked up into this one. The 2 companies NEVER have similar cultures despite what the CEO says. And 99.99999% of the time mass layoffs always follow... — read more
This is all on this leadership
If the leadership knew how to properly run this company there would be no need for layoffs. Sadly, they are the ones who get to make mistake after mistake and we are the ones who end up paying for it. I think we'll be seeing many more layoffs in the... — read more
Coup or Luck?
Not sure from when they were planning the coup or how. Looks very methodical and strategic , avoids lawsuits at every angle.
“I was laid off. “ I’m going to Disney World
Last day but TU will continue to pay me until March and then a severance and cobra payout. I’m going to Disney world and live my best life. I been looking for work since October layoffs. Transunion been an absolute shithole for 3 years. Over... — read more
Today was a glorious day
I slept in. I got a great work out. Had lunch with my family. Did a little Christmas shopping. And not once did I stress about being on meetings that went nowhere wanting to bang my head against the wall.
good relatable movies
Slightly off-topic, but check out the movie, "The Company Men" with Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones, and Kevin Costner. It's a story about some guys that dedicated their lives to their company and what they go through after getting laid off. This... — read more
End-year check-in
How are we supposed to fill that now? given the sh---y situation? And even after what we fill, are they really planning on giving appraisals
rough guess for why people chosen
Hard to tell exactly the criteria. After knowing of at least 10 laid off in various depts, I can tell it is not based on performance. Some very productive, talented people were let go along with a few that were just starting. No 'in the weeds'... — read more
Oct: your job cannot be done from home (RTO). Nov: your job can be done from overseas (RIF)
What a joke
Age of those laid off
Is it just me, or does it seem that those who were laid off skew older? Most of the people I know who are affected are in their late 40s and above. Is this the case throughout TU?
Employment Lawyer - Severance
Please, consult one before signing your documents or agreeing to the severance. He-l, call one even if you've signed and agreed to their pennies. They offer free, no obligation consultations. Let them confirm if what you've been offered is fair and... — read more
Supporting Team Through Change Email
Hey Chris, how about you don’t send an email full of BS corporate speak to the entire company, EVEN THOSE WHO WERE JUST LAID OFF. I mean my gd, the incompetence here. To anyone who didn’t get laid off - get the heck out while you can. This company... — read more
More cuts today
Are there more layoffs scheduled for today or is it over?
One week per year?
Is this correct? One week per year is one of the lowest severances that can be offered. Two is the average, but some offer three and even a month. This is an insult toward loyal employees who have stuck with TU through thick and thin.
Anyone else struggling with motivation or survivors guilt??
After the layoffs and knowing im still held accountable to deliver on aggressive deadlines (with less resources...), i'm struggling to care about company commitments. It's all so unrealistic. Additionally, I'm guilty I'm left but my teammates... — read more
UK - Any Layoffs
Anyone is been let go in UK?
Out of status for H-1b employee
If my last active date is dec 15th and separation date is in Feb. Will my 60 day grace period start in dec or Feb?
Can’t return signed package until separation date
Is that typical or are they just hoping people forget and then realize it’s too late after the window is gone?
Network Access Already Disabled
Hope everyone got a chance to access their packets and get them printed or forwarded because access is gone now. I feel liberated shutting down my laptop and removing all the TU apps from my phone.
FYI for those wondering about Canada
We found out today it was done already. Only affected 8 or so people. Canada performed well. If you didn't hear today you're safe.
Can't forward layoff package email to personal email
Looks like TU id--ts are blocking email forwarding to personal email. I just want to keep a copy of my severance package docs on my personal device. Who knows how long I have access to my TU laptop in the next few hours. I couldn't give a rats a-s... — read more
Impact on RTO
Have recent events impacted people's willingness to go to the office, either way? Either "cr-p I better go in so I don't get laid off" or "they'll probably just lay me off in the future anyway so I'm not scared of them firing me for not going in"? .. — read more
Supporting Team Through Change
In General, Chris sent out another email saying they completed notification process across regions. It also says we will hear more about how transformation will strengthen company in UPCOMING ALL-HANDS meeting on Dec 13th. Does that mean there will... — read more
Lay off packages??
Has ever Received their lay off packages.?
Not gonna lie
At least for me the severance is decent enough that I can chill for all of Dec and hopefully get one of the jobs I’ve been working on for a bit. I mean of course I’d rather not be laid off on the first place but based on what friends of mine had... — read more
Canada
Has anyone in Canada affected?
Managers who had team members who got purged
What was the process? Were you also in the dark until it happened? What instructions were given to you?
Seriously. NeuterStar. We need a history lesson.
Who at TU found this pig, chose the lipstick it would wear to OUR prom, and sold it as the Prom Queen? You promised prosperity. You lied. What was the language of that acquisition? Who is directly responsible? TU: "We want to buy you." N*: ... — read more
What is the max and min separation date that people received?
I heard separation dates are different for individuals. I wonder if this could buy us time? Can people who got their package share their separation dates?
