Any former employees even get their W2 yet?

Hanging in until retirement

Feelings post Townhall

I absolutely loved that joke of a townhall. There was no real room for Q&A as everything was filtered through Khartik's minions. Also I loved that they are justifying moving jobs to India like the big next tech hub when we all know it is all about... — read more 

Karthrick and Slack

Anyone else remember back in the day at a global town hall (when David Kenny was still CEO) Karthrick when questioned about the removal of slack, he sneered saying that it was either people’s jobs or slack? I was in charge of the financial side of... — read more 

Time to shake things up

Nielsen needs to keep trimming the fat, especially those managers and directors who’ve been coasting for decades. How do these folks even manage to stick around, adding zero value but dodging every layoff? It’s wild. Bring in some fresh, skilled... — read more

Previous Employees W-2

Has anyone had trouble getting their W-2 forms from Nielsen? They have my new address but yet nothing has been sent yet. Is there a phone number out there to call these incompetent people?

Severance Policy Changed again

There has been an update to Nielsen's severance policy announced in the 1/30 Nsider. I wish I had kept a copy of the old one so I could tell exactly what changed. I'm not sure, but I think the yearly bonus rules and the rounding up rules for length... — read more

I took me a whole year

But I finally found another job. Giving notice will be a highlight of the past year and a half of uncertainty, anxiety and disappointment. I’m a Nielsen veteran. Witnessing what it’s been turning into for the past couple of years has been a sad and... — read more

I'm leaving in 2025

That’s my Christmas wish and New Year’s resolution all wrapped into one. I can’t help but wonder if this is the number one wish for Nielsen employees this holiday season. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is.

Get out now if you haven’t already

What we’ve been through just this year has been too much for anyone to handle. We’ve been disrespected, devalued and discarded left and right. Most teams are now fully dysfunctional and completely demoralized. Training our own replacements has just... — read more
