Ready to go at the end of October. Of course, we have to train our replacement. We got told in a 15-minutes call. But hey, they care about your mental head!

PRS here, I was one of the lucky groups being asked to stay through August (yay me) and watch as everything we built gets toppled to the ground. They have left morning shift PRS’ to one or two on the phones for the first few hours of being open per... — read more 

I recently witnessed a huge code of conduct incident but it had nothing to do with me directly. Dies anyone feel like they have been laid off due to retaliation for narking someone out for breaking the code we just got trained on?

Nielsen completely changed the Field Representative position by adding Membership Representative duties to it. The pay remains exactly the same except for $100 bonus per install if it goes QFM which can stop at anytime since it's not part of the... — read more 

So they laid off a bunch of Product people who have been here a long time and then posted open Product roles in the US today. Age 40+ is a protected class, so…

Is there a similar thread for NielsenIQ?

Nielsen never ceased to amaze me with their lack of competence. I’ll start off with my three favorites. Receiving a coloring book and colored pencils for a year of leadership support with their BRG programs. Receiving a money tree (live tree)... — read more 

I will not shed a tear when I hear that Nielsen finally is overtaken by another company as the new industry leader and currency. I will not shed a tear when Nielsen goes bankrupt. They keep firing long tenured people with no respect shown. You... — read more 

Former Field Reps - what have you guys been up to since leaving? Still applying, going back for certifications, got a new job? From my searches, most sites recommend sales, roofing, or insurance. That's depressing to hear. Just curious what you guys... — read more 

Never cared about the employees only about #’s and now trying to be like cable companies with all these layoffs and ppl walking away it’s only a matter of time before this company is a fa-t in the wind

It all starts innocently enough. After having reduced teams to the bone, someone from another country is brought in to help out the struggling team. So on top of having higher workload, you also need to train people who has never used the systems or... — read more 

Nielsen has outsourced entire departments, cut staffing in all remaining areas to to the bone, tells us they have reduced our work load, and now I find out I get to work Saturday too. But hey, it’s okay, we will make you take off another day of the... — read more 

Wonder what Trump would say about an American company that is the currency for ratings being operated out of India and jobs(data) being outsourced to Mexico. Maybe he would be interested that fake news start with Nielsen. Keep jobs in America

Good people quitting left and right and they don't say squat. My supervisor is basically missing in action. HR sends stupid emails about "culture" while the ship sinks. Does anybody even care if this place will still be standing a few years from now... — read more 

No clue who’s idea it was to cut the field like they did but I give it 6 months tops before it really costs the company serious money in the form of rebates due to lack of performance and home counts. The average NSI rep will be running 130ish homes... — read more 

They knew it would happen eventually but it still hurts when it happens. They gave Nielsen 10-20+ years of service and Nielsen just throws them out for cheaper labor overseas. Nielsen is just sealing their fate! I will laugh when I hear that they... — read more 

After 20 years I was just let go. The hardest part is not being able to say goodbye and thank you to my teammates.

Field is being impacted today, reps and managers alike

Field Reps, did you get one tonight?

Phoning it in while diligently working on my future plans. And yes, I’m training my replacement, but I’m pretty lazy about it.

You know it’s coming but has anyone had any real insight as to when?

To all Nielsen executives in the US: we can see what you are doing. You can not gaslight us with your 'panem et circenses' and fake promises

I’ve heard rumored that the GTIC is for sale. Does anyone know if the FR openings listed on the careers page are just old listings?, or are they still actively hiring and if so are they still training in Oldsmar? I assumed that place was pretty much... — read more

I think even the “essential” roles are no longer safe. Everything is headed out. Keep your resume warm, folks.

Absolutely disgusted to hear that Nielsen just laid off someone with 37 YEARS of experience. This company keeps axing longtime employees who gave everything—nights, weekends, holidays—sacrificing their time and health for decades. And for what? No... — read more 

Any su-kers left? What are you working on if so?

Brand is important - BUT INTEGRITY and the greatest asset a business could have is HUMAN CAPITAL ... Where do we stand on that note ? Comments welcomed.

Still no job. Not unless you're willing to take a 50 percent pay cut, which I'm still not in a position to have to do. But ask me again in three or four months if nothing better turns up.

Is it too late? Can all workers come together and unionize collectively? Are there any areas currently attempting this? Or are we just waiting to get fired? because that's going to happen for sure.

If you understand the acronyms, this post is for you. You think that you are lucky that they decided to push back SMP for the NPM? They didn't push it back, they have decided to shut what is left of the NPM down in the near future. If you are an FR... — read more 

So they just canned almost the entirety of TAM ROC and Audio. They did nail the most fu---d up way of doing it too. Kudos to them

Is that a good sign, or has everyone just stopped caring? Kinda feels like we're all just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Not sure which is worse.

Is Nielsen worried that Pakistan will target Nielsen business infrastructure? Is Security measure being taken?
