Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that even if we disregard layoffs, there is no future for any of us here. Nielsen might be big, but so was Blockbuster. If the company's model of operation becomes obsolete... — read more

for the past few weeks since the last round of layoffs, audio management and TLs have been loving to give "encouragement" to us to perform better by saying how much better in performance the global people are doing in the same roles we hold in the... — read more 

What happened to the thread about the layoffs in the field? Do you have any answers in regards to a time frame? 2 weeks? 2 months? Next quarter?

It's a well known fact that Nielsen pays 20 - 35+ percent less than industry averages, and even with that they are STILL in deep financial trouble, and have done everything possible to avoid giving raises, COL increases and bonus reductions over the... — read more

I can't deal with this any longer. Thanks to this company I am having daily panic attacks. They make a big deal about having a "mental health" day but they are the ones that are constantly destroying the health of their employees. I have not been... — read more 

Well it's payday week. What departments got hit today?

How about all of us just walk out on this bi--h a-s Carolthick. They want to give us a mental health day, let’s give them a mental break down day. Imagine what it would do if we didn’t show up. How strong would “the ratings” be? These people are so... — read more

If the answer is yes, why? Why are you not looking to get out of here? I can't understand why anybody would want to continue working for this cr-p company. This is not the Nielsen of five years ago, and it's even less the company it was a decade and... — read more 

Another pay week, another momentum and perhaps another round off layoffs…?Guess depending on how you look at it either a painful goodbye or a sweet release/chance to move along with your life.

Audio division announced that we'll all get the "mental health" day this year. However, instead of May 24th, we'll be taking it the weekend of Father's Day. That's a week or 2 weeks depending, after the Spring Radio Diary ends. I wonder if they plan... — read more

For those interested, hearing that you may be able to request being laid off early and receive your severance benefits by reaching out to HR and making the request. Has been that way in the past so maybe still? YMMV. Thanks.

It’s pay week and I got laid off! Same process everyone else has described. Good luck out there folks

The way US workers are now being treated by Nielsen is a disgrace, so maybe a walkout is in order? Nielsen is only Nielsen because of its people, and would only be around for 100 years due to us … so is it time to stage a walkout? Once this news... — read more
