Audio division announced that we'll all get the "mental health" day this year. However, instead of May 24th, we'll be taking it the weekend of Father's Day. That's a week or 2 weeks depending, after the Spring Radio Diary ends. I wonder if they plan... — read more

Layoff Date approaching
I felt relieved a little when we first found out because the unknown was so stressful but now as the date gets closer I'm just sad and worried. I enjoyed this job and I really loved my team. Watching other names take over my work is soul-su-king. — read more

Su-ks having all the power and not being able to do anything
So the CEO Karthic is pi---d off about this site and is steady watching it, commenting trying to bait, making status trying to get people to give some kinda of hint or detail about that position or team to possibly end them and their severance and... — read more
It's disgusting!
Now that they are firing everybody and moving to those Low Cost Countries (with low-cost work force having access to lot's and lot's of private data from US markets, etc) they are more than ever active in sites like LinkedIn. It is disgusting how... — read more
Happy Monday
Who in here is excited for the week ahead!? (sarcasm)
PTO front-loading and using time off
Not only use up your vacation time ... but also your sick time, volunteer hours (24) and any other hours you may be entitled to. I'm not trusting that the company will pay out vacation time (I do not have unlimited PTO as some have stated) and will... — read more
Requesting To Be Laid Off Early
For those interested, hearing that you may be able to request being laid off early and receive your severance benefits by reaching out to HR and making the request. Has been that way in the past so maybe still? YMMV. Thanks.
Layoffs are happening this week!
It’s pay week and I got laid off! Same process everyone else has described. Good luck out there folks
Time to organize a walkout in protest at Nielsen?
The way US workers are now being treated by Nielsen is a disgrace, so maybe a walkout is in order? Nielsen is only Nielsen because of its people, and would only be around for 100 years due to us … so is it time to stage a walkout? Once this news... — read more
Layoffs this week?
Are pay period layoffs back again? Anyone got any intel
Nielsen's reviews on Glassdoor are tanking
Glad sites like this and Glassdoor exist. Important to see how the culture has shifted which can be seen from the reviews. (No, we're all not crazy here!) Be sure to sort the reviews by most recent. Crazy how fast things have gone downhill. RIP... — read more
Nielsen is going to die
There was only one solution to Nielsen's loosing market share: Fire all the Slovenians, Indians and 95% of the managers. Concentrate the good engineers that are already here on the GTIC and let them innovate and take back what was once... — read more

Nielsen : Where being let go is the better option versus staying.
Just a thought on the state of affairs with the company. Most everyone that I speak with on the teams around me have similar thoughts, and are just waiting for their meeting invite and severance. Some are stressed, but many are happily waiting for... — read more
This is torture!
Anyone else feel like they live in a real life episode of some sc--wed up reality tv show? Just waiting and wanting it to be over with..this uncertainty is cruel, slow , and painful torture…
Texas Layoffs?
Anyone got laid off in Texas? Please state your team/ position.
Finding a new job
I know it's difficult to find a new job. Right now, the job market is not good for anybody, from what I can see. That's what's making these layoffs even scarier for me. It's one thing to find yourself without a job when you can be relatively sure... — read more
Official severance thread
What's the severance policy this time? How many weeks of pay/benefits did you get? How many years of service?
LOL. They locked me out of the system before HR meeting!
...and I got a phone call!

Nielsen - The Place Where Talent Goes To Die

When will Nielsen remember that employees are its best resource?
Honestly, it's ridiculous how those on the top keep thinking that the company can keep functioning as always even if they keep reducing the number of employees more and more. It's not hard to figure out that you not only need employees, but you need... — read more

Is the appointment of a new Chief Engineering Officer the beginning of dismantling engineering and technology teams? How long before jobs are moved to India?
