Thread regarding Pearson PLC layoffs

@tz agreed, I always wonder why is she in a position she's clearly unqualified for? not the sharpest tool in the box would be an understatement

@tt that is a spot on reference.

New this morning are articles about the CHRO rethinking performance management like she has done a single thing right in her entire career other than noshing the boss

She is the equivalent of Stevie Wonder driving a school bus.

@tn Somehow she reminds me of MTG the neanderthal

PEarson has a bunch of clowns on the leadership, investors would just quickly find out, stock tanks, more layoffs and so on

@r0 also, they’ve used the AIP pool to prop up the profits so no one is getting a good wedge this year.

When you hear the words “performance culture” or “pay for performance” what they’re really saying is “punishment for exec mistakes”

Public service announcement: can the family of the drunk sla--er in the fur coat please collect her from reception — she’s embarrassing herself again.

@r1 lol...spot on

@qd all our deals we’ve announced are those. And when we don’t deliver? Bye bye Pearson 👋

This is it. We are witnessing the end.

We all wanted roses and daisies and instead we got davos and di--os. Cest la vie.

We’re really scraping the bottom of the human barrel when TaS looks like the best person on a personal level in the PEM.

Our board have a lot to answer for.

I wonder what they’d think of people who meet expectations not having their salaries grow in line with cost of living.

An 'MOU' is not quite the same as a set in stone deal.

The millions wasted, and it is the people who are made to pay for it, it is a harsh reality that employees are first item to go if profits look under threat.

@OP there are no optics that matter when you don't care and are riding the quick bonus train for having a plan and ditching the minute the bonus arrives. We have seen this play out before and will again.

But wait! The just signed a deal! With …who?!

These people are an utter embarrassment - everything that they’re doing comes across as people ‘playing business’ and not doing anything of value to the company, and also somehow frankly juvenile at the same time.

Great to see my AIP spent on hairspray though.

The elites pretending to be something they are not is so cringeworthy. They want customers to think of Pearson like they do Amazon, Google, Nike, etc. It's not going to happen no matter how many times they change the logo or colors.

@ae I never thought it could get worse than the interrobang.

The definition of Liberal elites. They sneer at every single employee.

Would that be "guess who is coming to dinner?" Will.i.am?

What shocks me is how shameless and pretentious they are..putting people in misery and then spends millions in Davos. I truly wish all of them the painful diseased life.

The senior leadership fancies themselves as something they are not. They are not a tech company...They are a publishing company fighting against a growing wave of OER and free educational resources.

@ae Agree on the d-mb purple rebranding. I'll add one: The big push for Mondly resulted in nothing much.

And don't forget the stupid purple theme brand that they opted to spend million of USD. Its sh---y company with a facade.
