layoffs?
any new info on if/when more layoffs are expected?
There are still hard workers here
I wonder why though, since it's obviously wiser to put more energy into looking for a new job than to work yourself to exhaustion here?
Employee morale
I'd like to know if those in charge actually know how the employees feel. Do they even realize that we've reached the point where morale is at rock bottom? And if they do know, do they even give a damn about turning things around and boosting the... — read more

Nielsen is done
By now, it should be common knowledge that Nielsen is done. Everyone should have an exit strategy, without exception. The company is destined to dwindle to a point where it's nothing but a mere skeleton unable to sustain itself. In the end, it will... — read more

Fungible Employee
Leaderlesship now calls employees fungible when planning next round of layoffs in late March and April. We are considered easy to replace commodity. Nielsen is almost dead so we have bottom feeder management in place.
meanwhile
In Belgium they're firing almost half of a team (7 out of 18), it is confirmed. I'm part of that team. So we know that in 30 days (mandatory for a collective redundancy) half of us will be out. Nothing wrong with it, it is dead end job anyway. But... — read more

Severance Advice (I’m not a lawyer)
Posting for those that were in the U.S. and laid off on 1/11/23. If you are in the U.S. and was laid off another day I’m not saying it doesn’t apply to you but I’m specifically speaking to those that laid off on this day. More than likely your last... — read more
Greater pressure on those who are not impacted

Business Update 1/25/23
Soo, we’re starting the meeting off with the foot on the GAS LIGHTING pedal!!! Mass layoffs have taken place and NOT one mention or additional insight provided!
It's not easy to get used to this feeling
I was laid off in the latest round. I'm still in shock, after spending most of my career at Nielsen. If you were let go from here or any other company, how did you manage to keep yourself focused on your job search and not completely fall apart? I... — read more
Job market trends

Job market experiences

January 25th all-hands - update on layoffs?
Will there be any updating? Hope many survivors fill out that Question form for the meeting.
There's no way the layoff is over
Elliot is known for slicing and dicing companies they acquired. There's no way the layoff is over. The later you get laid off, the worse the severance package. It's better to get laid off in the very first wave, when the company is still generous... — read more
Hollywood Office Closing 1/31/23
The Hollywood Office is closing on January 31st, 2023. I guess they needed a cash bump to cover David Kenny's salary increase after going private, am I right, or am I right, or am I right? Too bad for me and you! If I was an elite (not some... — read more
