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
Severance Timeframe
Once signing the paperwork, how long does it take to begin receiving severance?
Bye-bye
I would be glad to see SOME of the tech support from TAM kicked to the curb. The arrogance from some of people that haven't been in the field in over a decade is disturbing. The last time they worked on any of it in the real world was back in the... — read more
Nielsen's future looks bleak
All the talented employees were laid off just to fatten the pockets of those on top. There’s hardly any talent left to turn the company around. More layoffs are probably coming soon - after all, what's going to fund bonuses for executives? I'm now... — read more
Gracenote?
Is the Gracenote side of the Nielsen business equally affected by the ongoing layoffs? Does anyone know if that part might be kept more viable -- in order to sell it perhaps?
Awful quiet here
Has everyone been laid off yet? Have to imagine number of employees left in US numbers in the 100s only at this point
GCC India expansion - Approximate Monthly Rent in USD: $350K!!!

Nielsen Voice Survey
Is this survey a joke? Recommending Nielsen as a good place to work? Strong customer focus? Confidence in the future of Nielsen? Too bad I’ll be gone by the time survey results are shared …if they ever are. Ratings Likely will be in the toilet... — read more
Layoff without severance and bad treatment coming?
I feel all current employees who stick around to get severance might be treated badly and laid off without severance. I know some people and teams were fired when they said they cannot deliver on time with reduced staff. Do you guys see signs of this... — read more
Karthik unscripted
What a complete joke. This company has no future. “Very excited to transfer the work” — those are peoples jobs who have made revenue for the company for decades you d- - - - -bag
Contact Center Layoffs today
Several people eliminated today: Panel Relations Specialists PRS Leads PRS Manager Recruitment Specialists RS Leads RS Manager Technical Specialists TS Leads
No one cares
Does it seem like no one cares anymore about getting anything done? Days to get a reply on anything, deadlines not met, knowledge transfer with laid off employees
Financial results
Revenue down but profit and cash flow massively up. Maybe their awful plan of stripping out any cost i.e. humans is working lol I guess time will tell if clients vote with their feet and if revenue drops as client dissatisfaction with being offshored... — read more
Need Some Encouragement
After being laid off I just accepted a new job but it’s in office. I haven’t worked in office in years and am feeling upset about leaving my pets and family. I’ve felt so blessed to get to spend so much time with them during the day and now that I’ll... — read more
LR is already under way
And it will last through Sept. Post, pls. It’s so difficult to follow what’s going on and know what to expect bcs of the constant state of chaos.
Circana sale
They just announced that they’re selling MMM and NCS to Circana. What do you think? Good news/bad news?
Time for the next round?
Wasn't there talk about more layoffs in September?
Audio staffing shortage
Hmm I wonder what happened with the GDL people they replaced the US staff they laid off or fired? As of late, Managers and TLs have been micromanaging the few of us US staff remaining. policing every single minute every break and basically... — read more
I’m still here, but desperate to leave
I’ve been looking for another job for three months now. Got some offers, most of them underpaid. There was literally one which was good in every respect, but it didn’t work out. I’ve recently widened the scope, going for jobs far out, including govt... — read more
UK
A few weeks ago there was an announcement that 25% of staff would be let go. Has anyone an update on this?
N-time still down …
Thoughts??
What is the plan?
Do they actually have any kind of plan in place? Do they realize how many projects are just going to fall apart if just one more person in the dept leaves/is let go?
NGID? What?
With all the headcount reductions, cost savings goals and morale issues, why are they planning NGID? We should modify the design of the shameful shirts to say 'I volunteered for Nielsen and all I got was a crummy t-shirt.'
For those who have recently moved on, how has life been?
I’ll start it off. Life has been 1000 percent better since moving on this year. Always realized how toxic the environment had become there while still employed with the company, but once gone I then realized how much MORE I was putting up with just... — read more
Voluntary Redundancy
I'm taking voluntary redundancy and sprinting away like a puma. Good luck everyone.
More layoffs this week?
While we buckle up for the worst week in the stock market in recent history (remember, a private fund that closely watches this is running things here through his puppet KR) are we expecting more layoffs this week? How about for the rest of the... — read more
Important things falling thru the cracks.
I wonder with the mobile application that tracks the field and membership reps not having a current license, what department overseas was supposed take care of that. Just another way that sending our jobs to other countries is actually costing the... — read more
Gracenote is chilll but is it safe?
I have joined gracenote recently and I am surprised at the chill atmosphere despite layoffs and everything. No one is able to explain me what the project is all about clearly and says you will learn on the go. The director thinks he has technical... — read more
REACH OUT TO AS MANY OF NIELSEN’S CLIENTS AS YOU CAN
Present them facts about the gaps in quality and reporting. A good start would be with Byron Allen’s Weather Group, Entertainment Studios Networks (ESN) and CF Entertainment — which have sued Nielsen previously over quality issues and an outdated... — read more

Quality matters, or does it?
As a TAM employee I have to wonder when the MRC will sniff out the horrible quality standards being broken by employees and Nielsen’s new way of working for PRS’. In the past, it was a requirement to keep overdue work items at an absolute minimum... — read more
More layoffs expected
I heard there will be layoffs till the end of the year. Does anyone know how they are picking people? I have seen people that definitely had great performance reviews get kicked so I don’t believe it’s performance. Like everyone else I am trying to... — read more
Worst (stupid) CEO Ever
He have to be the worst CEO ever, I would even say he is flat out stupid. Wait until the end where he explains why panels do it, it's hilarious! The people "running" Nielsen have to understand this, but they don't care and let this d-mb-a-s run a... — read more
Working for Nielsen = Like buying a boat
Like buying and selling a boat, your two best days with Nielsen will be your first day and your last. Was fortunate enough to part ways with the company recently, and can say looking back wished I would have left sooner. You realize how shady the... — read more
Layoffs tomorrow? Part 2
2 weeks ago I created a post with the title "Layoffs tomorrow?", and I never followed up. Yes, I got laid off! Here is how it went down for me: My usual weekly meeting between me and my manager got moved to Wednesday (which happens sometimes). I... — read more
They will always find someone cheaper
Nielsen views all of us as replaceable no matter how valuable any of us might be or consider ourselves to be. It's that simple. No matter your contributions, if a fresh grad or somebody in India is cheaper than you, then your job will go to them... — read more
Most working here have become apathetic
People are so sick of Nielsen's cr-p that most have simply checked out and are just doing their work automatically. If the goal was to get your workforce not to care and to completely destroy productivity, then job well done, Nielsen, job really well... — read more
