I want to share a prediction for 2025 in response to questions about potential future layoffs. The current strategy implemented by the company is expected to persist, perhaps with some variations. While the new operational structure is largely... — read more 

Another cost-cutting measure I suppose because it's the ls. Narrower than the escape and less trunk space. Cheaper than the escape too. Time to buy new bins I guess.

Everyone who was extremely knowledgable about anything is gone and there is no amount of training that is going to make anyone competent enough to hold a candle to those who have been here through the decades. More outrageous decisions today that... — read more 

What are your thoughts about potential Nielsen layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I have been hearing that 50% of my Membership Team is going to be laid off in January and the ones left behind will be put into larger teams consisting of local and national reps that will be required to travel. Is anyone else heard this and is there... — read more 

What is the situation in Europe. Do they layoff in all countries or just some? What departments?

When the ship is sinking and you can't stop it then you might as well help sink it faster. I think field reps should start posting names and addresses of current panelists. It's not like that's private information so you're not breaking any laws. If... — read more 

I really don't think this is the case due to the legal and ethical risk but I am a little curious if any others that have been laid off have also had significant medical claims. I'm talking chronic health issues that have resulted in hundreds of... — read more 

I was an Audio PRS who jumped ship at the start of the year when things started to look really bleak on the horizon. I haven't really had contact with anyone who stayed after me. Are there any PRSs left? did most or all the workload go to Mexico yet?... — read more 

Take advantage of that while you can and look for a new job. It won't last for much longer, that's for sure.

Congrats Karthik Your PLan To Destroy Nielsen is Working!

Posts are getting more infrequent and not many replies anymore Hardly anyone left and those that have been laid off don’t care anymorw

Has it been turned into a Spirit Halloween yet?

What are we all expecting for the MR and FR roles in the next month when the new plan roles out? The next year? Anyone have any idea? With the new call center opening up overseas and the MRs not recruiting alts anymore, the FRs expecting to... — read more 

Is it true that one has to work during severance period? If one is eligible for 3 months of severance, they will be asked to work during that period to get the severance. So, it’s not really a severance but just an advance notice?

How many US based employees are left?

what do they really talk about? They have managed over years to get rid of so much institutional knowledge and good, competent people who grew with the company and contributed to what Nielsen used to be, becoming along the way a run of the mill... — read more 

I got my popcorn ready

Business “Howard Schultz violated labor law by telling employee ‘if you’re not happy at Starbucks, you can go work for another company’”

for those laid off what was the severance package? i have my job for another week but was not told severance by manager

Like many others I was laid off yesterday. Later in the day I heard the song “Sail Away” which was a fitting tribute to the end of a 20+ year career here. Yes it was just a job but it was my life 5 days a week every week for every year. I put my... — read more 

Anyone else get laid off today ?

In Tech and many coworkers and peers in same department got replaced in the last week/2 weeks. Have a meeting with manager next week but no HR. Think this is it.

As the new hires in the GCC in India, along with their ‘brilliant’ leadership—starting with the CTO and trickling down—take over, we’re definitely in for some fireworks. I mean, who needs competence when you can just hire your buddies, right? This... — read more 

Cuts seem so deep it seems people should be getting more notice.

I've noticed a few weak attempts to boost morale lately, but it only made things worse. Nielsen kept messing up in how it treats employees, and it finally backfired. Even the top performers have stopped putting in extra effort. Things aren't looking... — read more 

Once signing the paperwork, how long does it take to begin receiving severance?

I would be glad to see SOME of the tech support from TAM kicked to the curb. The arrogance from some of people that haven't been in the field in over a decade is disturbing. The last time they worked on any of it in the real world was back in the... — read more 

All the talented employees were laid off just to fatten the pockets of those on top. There’s hardly any talent left to turn the company around. More layoffs are probably coming soon - after all, what's going to fund bonuses for executives? I'm now... — read more 

Is the Gracenote side of the Nielsen business equally affected by the ongoing layoffs? Does anyone know if that part might be kept more viable -- in order to sell it perhaps?

Has everyone been laid off yet? Have to imagine number of employees left in US numbers in the 100s only at this point

Nielsen India Media Pvt Ltd has leased 112,404 sq ft of office space in Commerze III, International Business Park, Oberoi Gardens, Goregaon East, Mumbai. The 10-year lease agreement with Oberoi Realty, signed on July 9, 2024, covers the 36th, 37th... — read more

I feel all current employees who stick around to get severance might be treated badly and laid off without severance. I know some people and teams were fired when they said they cannot deliver on time with reduced staff. Do you guys see signs of this... — read more

Does it seem like no one cares anymore about getting anything done? Days to get a reply on anything, deadlines not met, knowledge transfer with laid off employees

Revenue down but profit and cash flow massively up. Maybe their awful plan of stripping out any cost i.e. humans is working lol I guess time will tell if clients vote with their feet and if revenue drops as client dissatisfaction with being offshored... — read more
