Anybody here knows for sure?

Just curious, I guess, given that I think that I’ll be let go rel soo. Do they escort you of the property or do you have time to say goodbye to your coworkers and clear your stuff? Do they jus read you the script and break it to you right away? Do... — read more

I am not sure if the mgmt is crazy or what but if they think software (OneCRM) will solve all their problems they are gravely mistaken. If the cuts go next week so much talent and internal knowledge will be lost Pearson will not be able to recover. A... — read more

All reps will be reorganized to generalists - if they cannot be categorized as generalists they will be laid off next week. If you were here last week you know that the reorg Pearson had last year was a complete and utter disaster. This proves that... — read more 

Word on the streets is that TMKs team is being laid off. That's just f'ing wonderful. Great job Pearson! What a complete and utter clown car these execs are driving. Case numbers and long wait times for all!

to be laid off or to be generalists? Monday is coming!

It's all happening. The reliance on OneCRM is systematically eliminating one on one management and we fully expect many of those people to be eliminated in short order. Strange though. Allowing an ex SAP employee to implement their software solution... — read more 

Cengage/McGraw Hill merger. (Ace Ventura voice) So how's everybody feeeeling tonight? You all smell wonderful!

I guess TB is out and they just aren't announcing.

Left Pearson 15 years ago, and left the industry after that, but I'm following the Pearson news because I have friends who work there. It's hard to believe what the company has become. It was once the proud, #1 publisher of textbooks. While not... — read more

Constant reorganizations, constant layoffs... I'm so tired of it all that I'm ready to leave. I have a few interviews lined up, and if I get an offer I'll be out of here as fast as I can. Which brings me to my question - those of you who left on your... — read more

The three new VPs let everyone know that their jobs have been eliminated and they will get a call from HR by tomorrow with their severance package. New jobs will be posted on Monday. No word on how many spots but it will be fewer. We are free to... — read more 

DB and DM are out. DK staying. Some directors have already been given notice and severance packages without new job descriptions being posted. It's beginning.....

Any news? Closings or consolidations?

Well, according to the global talk this morning - more layoffs coming, primarily in Finance, Technology & HR. Do we have any more info on this or just the very general statement?

Looks like our favorite lilliputian leader had a mini meltdown during the town hall today. If that doesn't inspire confidence, I don't know what does!

Work was good to grab some initial experience out of the gate from college, but once the company got super toxic it was time to leave. However, many of my colleagues (minus many of the managers and execs) were legitimately good people. If they're... — read more 

What are the dates of PLC? What's the location? Will the good old boys club members be posting lots of pictures on social media, as they always do?

Is tep fixed yet? Thought I’d ask here since no one at Pearson provides updates? Maybe an alum (wink) knows the answer.

Just giving everyone the heads up here - There are going to be major changes to the bonus structure for the next fiscal year. So, buckle up...

So now we don't get goals and everyone gets paid no matter what. Plus, bonuses are capped now. So now many of us will earn less. What is going on?

Any other reps get a letter regarding a possible class action lawsuit for unpaid wages? I’m gone now but got a letter a couple of weeks ago. Hoping reps will speak up.
