Going to use Nielsen’s My Time policy to take back the severance weeks they took away from me, oh and my reasoning is I need this time off for “self care.”

Missed it, just wonder what they said. Or is it all about “efficiency “?

According to KR he wants to get the field to work more efficiently.....How?????

Dear KR, In the face of rapid change and the pursuit of innovation, it's imperative for companies to not just chase operational efficiencies but to deeply value and preserve the rich tapestry of local knowledge and diversity that fuels genuine... — read more 

Let’s endorse our fellow Nielsen employees on LinkedIn to help each other with the impending job search. LinkedIn recommendations for teammates you’ve worked with personally could help too.

Does anyone have the downloaded doc showing 2 weeks severance before they changes it to 1 week on Feb 1st. Funny the effective date still shows 2018.

How many jobs are being moved to India? It sounds like the execs have already decided on a plan and it will vary by department.

Nielsen is still profitable, and still growing. Just not profitable enough for the greedy pigs in the C-Suite. 🐷🐷🐷 So many of us are being sacrificed at the altar of greed and the purpose of infinite growth. Makes me wanna pu-e.

Now imagine you're a U.S. based client who's spending millions of dollars on Nielsen contracts, and you have to deal with language barriers and some guy who was trained by the same disgruntled Nielsen employee who's job they replaced. 😂 This is... — read more 

Why would anybody want to quit right now, when chances of being laid off and receiving severance are so high? Unless you land your dream job that comes with a major raise, you should stay and make them cough out the money if they want to get rid of... — read more

Since all this has started to go down, i'm putting all my energy into finding a new job and almost none into this one. Client issues? Yeah, i'm mostly ignoring them. Maybe putting in the absolute minimum effort just to keep people off my... — read more 

Just trying to confirm, does 1 week base pay for every year worked mean you will receive a 40 hour/1 week pay every 2 weeks for x many years you worked? I assume the old way was a 80 hour/2 weeks pay every 2 weeks for x many years worked.

I need to stock on Xanax.

If they expect me to train my replacement, they're not going to like the result. I would never refuse to do it, since I wouldn't want to endanger my severance if I'm affected. But the quality of my training? I'm going to make sure my replacement... — read more 

Sujit's doublespeak sounds really grim, but I'm not even sure I'm interpreting it correctly. What is the point of this?

Another fearful Wed during pay week..anyone heard how frequent layoffs will be? Can we expect them weekly,biweekly quarterly..this uncertainty is stressful.

The worst part about these layoffs is that the employees that do the real work are not to blame, Managers and Directors and up are! The elephant in the room here is that Nielsen has lost big clients, that was unthinkable 3-5 years ago, they... — read more 

how long do vision and dental insurance last for? also did the people last year get their bonus? i also remember last year they were kept on payroll till month end, is that true now?

Soooo, we have day-to-day layoffs, which can last for months to come. They cut our severance by half, which makes me even more motivated to stay and train my replacement only to be let go with the full acknowledgement of my worth. Long-term employees... — read more 

After the Covid fiasco Gracenote employees overwhelmingly agreed we can work remotely and we know the leaders didn’t like that. Is this pay back for not going back to the office?

Gracenote has always been in the black, making profit. For the last 5 years they’ve been trying to combine the two businesses and the buyout of What’s On India is giving them the path to move Gracenote operations to India. First it was training WOI... — read more 

To those who are in the portfolio TH right now and expressing your true feelings, great job! Don’t let them get away with it!

former american employees, if you got laid off or quit last year, have you received your w2 in the mail yet?

Some states have addendum, like Illinois: https://www.illinoisworknet.com/LayoffRecovery/Pages/ArchivedWARNReports.aspx Nielsen has yet to report.

I only know of one person who was let go immediately…. Were any given notice that they have to train someone?.. or is that in the next rounds??

Now that Nielsen has reduced the severance by half, its time we kick our leadership where it hurts. Most of us have invested years of hard work at Nielsen and to have a reduced severance is insulting. Start sending letters to the media immediately. ... — read more

Some very useful information was shared but this site is such a downer. Try and go out and enjoy your weekend.

I know they’re training a lot of people in Mexico, seems a bit early to wipe the department though.

Nielsen's leadershit doesn't want the media to know about the horrible things they're doing to their employees. Remember they only succeeds in a controlled environment where no one can speak back to them. Humiliate them publicly, expose their... — read more
