Did Nielsen sent people to CES this year?

So, I was laid off back in August. I applied for unemployment in my state. It was going fine until I got a notice of appointment with the unemployment department to verify my unemployment. Turns out, they got no reply from Nielsen when they mailed... — read more 

How many US based people are left?

But I finally found another job. Giving notice will be a highlight of the past year and a half of uncertainty, anxiety and disappointment. I’m a Nielsen veteran. Witnessing what it’s been turning into for the past couple of years has been a sad and... — read more 

How is Nielsen avoiding filing a WARN notice with the state of Florida? Does anyone know how many have been laid off in Florida this year? Is Nielsen breaking the law? The Tampa Bay Times had an article today about the companies doing the most... — read more 

I'm not eager to leave but I know several people who would be more than happy to walk away with severance. I don't see the downside of this. People who don't want to be here would be gone, and people who actually like their jobs and want to stay... — read more 

That’s my Christmas wish and New Year’s resolution all wrapped into one. I can’t help but wonder if this is the number one wish for Nielsen employees this holiday season. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is.

I was let go a couple of months ago. Started looking for another job months before that. No luck so far. Most offers were not even worth considering. I’m not looking for anything spectacular, just a decent job with equal or slightly lower pay. I... — read more

After 15 years and multiple positions. Being told one day I am one of the most productive on the team and the NEXT DAY, layed off. No morals.

Historically, they like to lay people off on the Wednesday or Thursday before payday. Do you think that they are heartless enought to let people go the paycheck before Christmas?

What we’ve been through just this year has been too much for anyone to handle. We’ve been disrespected, devalued and discarded left and right. Most teams are now fully dysfunctional and completely demoralized. Training our own replacements has just... — read more 

Does anyone want to share their experience if you had to be part of training the people who ultimately replaced your position? I can imagine this being the most heartbreaking feeling and i hope to get out of here before this is a reality but if not... — read more 

I want to share a prediction for 2025 in response to questions about potential future layoffs. The current strategy implemented by the company is expected to persist, perhaps with some variations. While the new operational structure is largely... — read more 

Another cost-cutting measure I suppose because it's the ls. Narrower than the escape and less trunk space. Cheaper than the escape too. Time to buy new bins I guess.

Everyone who was extremely knowledgable about anything is gone and there is no amount of training that is going to make anyone competent enough to hold a candle to those who have been here through the decades. More outrageous decisions today that... — read more 

What are your thoughts about potential Nielsen layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I have been hearing that 50% of my Membership Team is going to be laid off in January and the ones left behind will be put into larger teams consisting of local and national reps that will be required to travel. Is anyone else heard this and is there... — read more 

What is the situation in Europe. Do they layoff in all countries or just some? What departments?

When the ship is sinking and you can't stop it then you might as well help sink it faster. I think field reps should start posting names and addresses of current panelists. It's not like that's private information so you're not breaking any laws. If... — read more 

I really don't think this is the case due to the legal and ethical risk but I am a little curious if any others that have been laid off have also had significant medical claims. I'm talking chronic health issues that have resulted in hundreds of... — read more

Take advantage of that while you can and look for a new job. It won't last for much longer, that's for sure.

Congrats Karthik Your PLan To Destroy Nielsen is Working!

Posts are getting more infrequent and not many replies anymore Hardly anyone left and those that have been laid off don’t care anymorw

Has it been turned into a Spirit Halloween yet?

What are we all expecting for the MR and FR roles in the next month when the new plan roles out? The next year? Anyone have any idea? With the new call center opening up overseas and the MRs not recruiting alts anymore, the FRs expecting to... — read more 

Is it true that one has to work during severance period? If one is eligible for 3 months of severance, they will be asked to work during that period to get the severance. So, it’s not really a severance but just an advance notice?

How many US based employees are left?

what do they really talk about? They have managed over years to get rid of so much institutional knowledge and good, competent people who grew with the company and contributed to what Nielsen used to be, becoming along the way a run of the mill... — read more

Business “Howard Schultz violated labor law by telling employee ‘if you’re not happy at Starbucks, you can go work for another company’”

for those laid off what was the severance package? i have my job for another week but was not told severance by manager

Like many others I was laid off yesterday. Later in the day I heard the song “Sail Away” which was a fitting tribute to the end of a 20+ year career here. Yes it was just a job but it was my life 5 days a week every week for every year. I put my... — read more 

Anyone else get laid off today ?

In Tech and many coworkers and peers in same department got replaced in the last week/2 weeks. Have a meeting with manager next week but no HR. Think this is it.

As the new hires in the GCC in India, along with their ‘brilliant’ leadership—starting with the CTO and trickling down—take over, we’re definitely in for some fireworks. I mean, who needs competence when you can just hire your buddies, right? This... — read more 

Cuts seem so deep it seems people should be getting more notice.

I've noticed a few weak attempts to boost morale lately, but it only made things worse. Nielsen kept messing up in how it treats employees, and it finally backfired. Even the top performers have stopped putting in extra effort. Things aren't looking... — read more
