Dave Calhoun
Dave Calhoun, you really were a b-m all along. While I take no pleasure in watching a great American company like Boeing literally fall apart, I do take pleasure knowing that the world knows what a useless corporate GE hack you are and always have... — read more

Nielsen - The Place Where Talent Goes To Die
Joining Nielsen years ago thinking it would be a good thing to have on a resume, but not so much anymore. Reality is no-one really cares anymore about Nielsen, and the name has been tarnished so much over the years (especially as of late) that it’s... — read more

Pop-up meeting on the calendar for next Monday wanting to discuss operational stuff and alignment with company pillars. Anyone else seeing it? More layoff announcements coming, or confirming the plan to sell off parts of the company? Tone of the... — read more
When will Nielsen remember that employees are its best resource?
Honestly, it's ridiculous how those on the top keep thinking that the company can keep functioning as always even if they keep reducing the number of employees more and more. It's not hard to figure out that you not only need employees, but you need... — read more
Chief Engineering Officer
Is the appointment of a new Chief Engineering Officer the beginning of dismantling engineering and technology teams? How long before jobs are moved to India?
I quit back in January, and haven't payed attention to what's going on since. Can someone give me an update on ROC - Audio?
I was a ROC Audio PRS and i quit a few months ago because i saw the writing on the wall and wanting to leave on my own terms. I haven't talked to anyone there since and haven't read anything. Has there been more layoffs in ROC - Audio? If so does... — read more

Bonus Less than it should be
Did anyone not get their proper bonus amount? It looks like they changed the structure of my bonus payout without my knowledge and now I’m getting shorter about 20% of what I’m owed for last year. This is not about them not paying out my full %, they... — read more
Scarborough layoffs
I am curious what percentage of Scarborough will be retained or re-trained.
Check your browser settings y'all, and don't be d-mb.
In the last week or so Nielsen has changed the browser accessibility settings on all company issued machines to monitor literally everything you do, every site you access, every file you download, and every document you print. They are watching... — read more
There is light at the end of the tunnel
I have been looking for job for months, and I was rejected or ghosted many times. I have been stressed out by current workload as well as the job market. But I have recently received a wonderful offer from a great company. It can happen. Don’t give... — read more
This used to be a nice company with great people. Not anymore!
Man, it hurts to watch how they have destroyed this company over the years. Arthur Nielsen would be turning in his grave if he can see this. Buying cheap companies abroad, hiring juniors as seniors, managers and directors that are completely... — read more
Offshore Wave
So I heard from friends that US Images and US Program Events (Broadcast/Local/Syndication) are being laid off and the jobs are moving to India, what other departments were hit?
Area offshore notices
Updates, pls. Which areas, when?
WORD for the WISE
This is your career. Your life. You and you alone are responsible. If you allow what you can’t control to steal your focus, you won’t be able to shift your career trajectory. And isn’t that the ultimate goal? Don’t let a boss or coworker who doesn’t... — read more
This company has been due for a change
I know this is NOT what people want to hear on this site but honestly, every-time these days I sit on a meeting I can't help but wonder how it is possible this company has survived so long. It's like the BS and never ending empty talks will never... — read more
What am I doing on this site?
This website provides no value to me, a Nielsen employee, and yet I can’t stop visiting every day.
Gracenote engineering prod lockout
A notice was sent out today that all Gracenote engineers are being locked out of production accounts. The claim is to test system robustness, but it feels a lot like damage mitigation and to prevent people bringing down production systems when they... — read more

Such a relief knowing their decisions won't affect me anymore. Protect your mental health and find a place where you will be appreciated.
Dave Kenny's legacy
Anyone want to talk about David Kenny's legacy? He split the company so must have made $ for the shareholders. What was one of his first orders of business when he arrived? To make himself Chief Diversity Officer (because DEI is so important), it was... — read more

Why do they bother us with “transformation” and other corporate speak?
Let's stick to bare bones: this is a sh---y company which has been treating their employees with utmost disrespect. They managed to create incredible drama out of layoffs for months, completely disregarding the fact that we are human beings with... — read more
This Townhall, OMG, is he serious?
This clown actually opened his little propaganda speech with "I truly believe these changes will offer more opportunity for ALL of us". ROFLMAO All of us? Does that include the thousands of people who are getting let go? Read the room, dude. Most... — read more

"Integrity " training
Anyone else take it yet? It's quite comical this year.....so and so happily works......so and so is happy with their job. So far from the truth. You see something, say something....unless it makes us uncomfortable or puts us in a bad... — read more
March layoffs?
Any insights on any mass layoffs or total team dissolutions in March for Q1 closure?
Wonder how this will all work out for Nielsen
It must give at some point. Cheap labor may turn out not to be cheap (for all the cost that inexperience may accrue), reorg may turn out to be very costly for the lack in productivity, time it takes for things to settle down, incompetent mgmt dealing... — read more
"transformation"
I'm so sick of seeing the word transformation. it's a joke at this point, we all know transformation actually means offshoring and layoffs.
Low quality replacements
The lack of critical thinking and common sense that these replacements have is astonishing. Can’t think outside the box, need to be spoon fed, communication in English is horrible. You give them a book and tell them to turn to page 26, they say “ok... — read more
I am not training my replacement
Training a replacement is the red line. I do not care if I am having a new job lined up by then, I am not doing it. Is there a reason to allow them to squeeze you like a lemon and then discard you like you are nothing? Nope.
