After all the downsizing we've been through in the past few years, both the small and big ones, I can't seem to stop focusing on cuts. And knowing that another major round is coming is only making things worse. I'm stuck in this constant state of... — read more

This is a frequent play: A toxic CEO exits and is replaced by a INSIDER. The insider will have short time the position and will then resign in disgrace over what the insider inherited. Any of youse remember the Calhoun to Barnes swap and how that... — read more

It is moving in some circles that the field is going to be hit again in November with the PRS job being outsourced to Mexico, followed by the FR jobs being cut in Q1. Is there any real source for this or just some overzealous, mean-spirited person... — read more 

He lead Nielsen throughout the aquisitions and layoff era[~2008/~2014]. Is He leading the dismantling and layoff era now?

Many Nielsen employees like me in Europe are on edge these days. Rumor say that they will announce some countries next week and some in early October. Apparently, local leaders have no voice here, and selection is purely based on money. All of us are... — read more 

Chat GPT can take over a lot of call center jobs in the future anyway.

I left Nielsen years ago for another opportunity. But I feel like I missed out on severance pay by quitting instead of getting laid off. For those who remain, I wonder if leadership will try to save more money by making Nielsen more like Elon Musk's... — read more 

It seems like there is not really a benefit to Nielsen to negotiate since they are already offering 2wks/3wks per year, health care coverage, and outplacement services. I spoke to someone from Jan layoff who said any negotiation will only delay your... — read more 

Just a few weeks before the second mass layoff at Nielsen, I saw two individuals promoted to higher positions: one from director to VP and one from VP to SVP. Both of them are of the worthless kind as I have worked with them, and they couldn't answer... — read more

Don't you think there are some bad managers and employees at Niesen that maybe should have been terminated long ago but were perhaps protected by their friend bosses or nopotism? If the bad workers got laid off, then who cares? What percentage of... — read more 

Or is it just something short like "Sorry, you are laid off??

So the only PMs left for audio are Southeast and Midatlantic? Were the TLs for the 4 PMs that were cut all let go too? Any word on PRS’ being cut? I know someone said at least one. Seems odd for them to only cut one PRS.

This seems to have been a way to get rid of the older folks. Am I wrong?

or have 1:1 scheduled for today or tomorrow? Or is it safe to assume that this round of US cuts is completed?

What does the severance package look like for US based employees? Was it different this time from last time?

Europe is unionized that’s why their layoffs take several weeks to cut through all the red tape. I bet they get treated better, better wages with more monetary increases, have better management (unions usually demand it), and better working... — read more 

Has anyone in the UK been laid off yet? There will probably be consultations depending on figures, but has anyone already heard anything or is affected?

How long is going to be the wait in Europe, does anybody have some date? Everybody is on edge. It’s like torture

If a manager lays off her employees, does it mean the manager is immune from being laid off until next year? Would be cruel if she is made to lay off 10 people and get laid off herself the next week?

It’s not like they are saving so much money, I was probably the lowest paid person there

I wonder how much those company cars cost the company. If they eliminated them and forced the field team to use their own personal cars with a milage reimbursement and require them to buy their own insurance, then wouldn't that save millions of... — read more
