Leadership Is Putting A Stop To Questions And Opinions They Don't Like. Be Careful What You Ask.

What is taking so long? We are getting close to the end of the third week now.

With only 3 managers and 2 TLs in audio, I can’t even imagine what chaos is happening now.

We’re there additional call celnter/PRS Layoffs or was this a communication that came out to the PRS call center team?

I remember when I was laid off at Nielsen by the CTO at Buy. He could not cut it at Goldman Sachs, went to the graveyard Reuters and then to Nielsen . Laid off all the best staff at Buy and then jumped a sinking ship to Media. Watch out for guys... — read more
