All Gracenote VOD Mapping team laid off yesterday. Required to work till March 15 in order to support and train replacements in India.
GCC = Cheap Labor Model
This team includes employees that have dedicated anywhere between 2 to 26 years to Nielsen/Gracenote.
Which team are you referring to OP? No word of this affecting EU yet...
The stress that Nielsen is putting its employees through is unacceptable.
Each week we all wait to see what are is going to be impacted next.
Why is SSW not protecting us now? She was very active for a while but now when employees are being mistreated and having to deal with high stress levels…..not a word from her.
Take your BRG programs and see how they work out in India-Poland-Mexico.
What a two-faced person she turned out to be.
@1jam+1rbujNMC Low skill?! You apparently don’t know what that job entails. The people laid off helped build and test the processes and workflows that increase efficiency and quality of the metadata we ingest and ultimately sell to our clients. That’s why Gracenote was profitable. These employees were not just data entry editors these were employees, some of which have degrees, who had pride in what they did. Go f yourself talking about low skill, gtfoh
and what job do you have that is so safe?
Are you shocked that low skill jobs like that department are headed to the new centers? Look at all the “engineering” jobs moving.
I don’t know why I thought gracenote was safe - it sounded like they were the most financially healthy branch of Nielsen.
I am so sorry, OP. What a 💩 show.
how many people were laid off? I'm so sorry OP
first of all, that is so disrespectful to make people train their replacements; it's infuriating. also only 3 weeks to train? obviously Nielsen cares about quality
Keeping people on to train your replacement is such a disgusting slap in the face.
What is "VOD Mapping"?
I'm sorry, hope they all land a new (better) job!
Oh man, I’m so sorry guys!
