And it will last through Sept. Post, pls. It’s so difficult to follow what’s going on and know what to expect bcs of the constant state of chaos.

They just announced that they’re selling MMM and NCS to Circana. What do you think? Good news/bad news?

A few weeks ago there was an announcement that 25% of staff would be let go. Has anyone an update on this?

Thoughts??

Do they actually have any kind of plan in place? Do they realize how many projects are just going to fall apart if just one more person in the dept leaves/is let go?

I’ll start it off. Life has been 1000 percent better since moving on this year. Always realized how toxic the environment had become there while still employed with the company, but once gone I then realized how much MORE I was putting up with just... — read more

He have to be the worst CEO ever, I would even say he is flat out stupid. Wait until the end where he explains why panels do it, it's hilarious! The people "running" Nielsen have to understand this, but they don't care and let this d-mb-a-s run a... — read more
