Just a few weeks before the second mass layoff at Nielsen, I saw two individuals promoted to higher positions: one from director to VP and one from VP to SVP. Both of them are of the worthless kind as I have worked with them, and they couldn't answer... — read more 

These cuts were not based on performance, as many were told in their "exit" interviews. If you think that you are protected from layoffs because you have the best reviews for the past several years, you're not protected. If you think that you are... — read more 

Don't you think there are some bad managers and employees at Niesen that maybe should have been terminated long ago but were perhaps protected by their friend bosses or nopotism? If the bad workers got laid off, then who cares? What percentage of... — read more

So the only PMs left for audio are Southeast and Midatlantic? Were the TLs for the 4 PMs that were cut all let go too? Any word on PRS’ being cut? I know someone said at least one. Seems odd for them to only cut one PRS.

What does the severance package look like for US based employees? Was it different this time from last time?

Europe is unionized that’s why their layoffs take several weeks to cut through all the red tape. I bet they get treated better, better wages with more monetary increases, have better management (unions usually demand it), and better working... — read more 

Has anyone in the UK been laid off yet? There will probably be consultations depending on figures, but has anyone already heard anything or is affected?

How long is going to be the wait in Europe, does anybody have some date? Everybody is on edge. It’s like torture

If a manager lays off her employees, does it mean the manager is immune from being laid off until next year? Would be cruel if she is made to lay off 10 people and get laid off herself the next week?

Do you see people at Best Buy selling TVs earning spiffs or bonuses? Elimination of bonuses could lead to saving millions and also ensuring homes are recruited that want to stay in sample instead of just being a number for a membership or field... — read more 

They send hires to train in Florida when the managers could have been training new field recruits. Companies should chose between highly hourly wage or bonuses (not both). The field team should either be at min wage and maintain the bonus or go the... — read more 

It’s not like they are saving so much money, I was probably the lowest paid person there

I wonder how much those company cars cost the company. If they eliminated them and forced the field team to use their own personal cars with a milage reimbursement and require them to buy their own insurance, then wouldn't that save millions of... — read more

Run and run fast. My manager just told me that’s what his Director told him this AM. US field is next up. The absolute horror show continues. God help us all.

What department? How many affected? Severance?

We got the worldwide confirmation e-mail. Europe has to go through all the checks, so like last time, the pain and doubt will be longer. Stay strong and luck

Has there been any change in the anticipated layoff date or is it still coming this week? I'm surprised because this is Labor Day week, but I wouldn't put it past Nielsen to do it this week exactly because it's a Labor Day week to send a message... — read more

Just confirmed that we have new layoffs coming next week. Between 35 and 40 per cent of us in the US organization. The first domino falls next week. I'm really sick of this place and the decisions leadership make which we have to live with.

I didn't shed a tear. This company has no loyalty to its employees. The higher ups are self consumed and very unfair. They underpay and promote based on tribalism. Did anyone shed a tear when realizing this once a good company has become a... — read more

What can be done to make the board remove Kenny and Rao for how badly they perform.

Employee cannot rely on so called leaders to have our back. We need to do it ourselves. Is someone who is close to retirement willing to take on the organizing? They will be risk.

Is anyone else looking forward to the layoffs? I would love to see some of the middle management cleared out. I can't count how many times I have thought to myself, "Exactly, what do they do all day?" I would be excited about fresh blood running the... — read more
