We got the worldwide confirmation e-mail. Europe has to go through all the checks, so like last time, the pain and doubt will be longer. Stay strong and luck

Has there been any change in the anticipated layoff date or is it still coming this week? I'm surprised because this is Labor Day week, but I wouldn't put it past Nielsen to do it this week exactly because it's a Labor Day week to send a message... — read more

I'm not surprised by the layoffs at all.

Can't Nielsen stop offering severance packags to future terminated employees if it would mean saving millions of dollars and Nielsen could use those millions of dollars saved to keep a few upper management jobs? Why does Nielsen need to give... — read more

Just confirmed that we have new layoffs coming next week. Between 35 and 40 per cent of us in the US organization. The first domino falls next week. I'm really sick of this place and the decisions leadership make which we have to live with.

I didn't shed a tear. This company has no loyalty to its employees. The higher ups are self consumed and very unfair. They underpay and promote based on tribalism. Did anyone shed a tear when realizing this once a good company has become a... — read more 

Any staffing updates expected?

What can be done to make the board remove Kenny and Rao for how badly they perform.

Employee cannot rely on so called leaders to have our back. We need to do it ourselves. Is someone who is close to retirement willing to take on the organizing? They will be risk.

Is anyone else looking forward to the layoffs? I would love to see some of the middle management cleared out. I can't count how many times I have thought to myself, "Exactly, what do they do all day?" I would be excited about fresh blood running the... — read more 

Do you know that everything is postponed until september due to townhall craziness and they will continue when everybody forgets a little. They are just waiting

Nielsen bascally has its associates do volunteer work once a year. In light of Nielsen needing to do layoffs, would cancelling NGID be a good idea if it can save hundreds of jobs? Or is NGID pretty much a publicity thing for Nielsen to get free... — read more 

Report what happens with location; department; count; severance.

I'm glad that someone mentioned cuts in the context of decisions that need to be made to keep the company profitable, because I noticed that suddenly a lot of people justify cuts using that logic, and it's really unfortunate. Aren't there any other... — read more 

I see people talking about that

Mass layoffs are common in tech. Even google laid people off. Tech laid off a large quantity of people. Nielsen dont owe you an explanation for large amount of layoffs. So what if they removed the comments on a town hall video? So what? It's... — read more

Would Nielsen lay off everyone who does as a sign of protest? Like what if hundreds of people just took that day off? Would everyone taking the same day off be illegal?

Everyone is talking about layoffs. It's becoming unbearable to work here. Is there anyone who thinks that there won't be any layoffs and that it is just a few excessively anxious people overreacting and spreading unnecessary panic?

Where can people who no longer work for Nielsen watch it?

I'd like to watch the town hall, but I don't work at Nielsen right now. I read it was bad. Anyone have the video?

“And the cuts will be deep” he said My boss told me today they will be far and wide. The ask is for 20% headcount reduction. Field will be spared until Q1 then they will be whacked. Will be a bloody end to the Summer.

What about this last mail. Between the lines layoffs for sure. “Reduce cost base” “taking a tough look at third party spend”

translates to, we need to reduce your paycheck so ours do not shrink. People let go yesterday. Many hours reduced. Not disgruntled or an ex-employee. (yet)

Next round of big scale layoffs in Q3 maybe in september. Just heard that it will be masive. Has anyone heard anything?

This blog used to have pertinent information.. You have transformed this into your personal grudge against Nielsen... GO AWAY... We have heard your message.. Go find another forum to vent and gather your information.

Considering the amount of work I do, I think I'm very underpaid. I started looking for other jobs in the industry so I'm interested in experiences of those who left this not so long ago, how much bigger offers did you manage to get?
