As a result of hearing of more layoffs in my business unit this week I'm waking up anxious again at 4am. Although I know I should leave, I'm finding it difficult to get a role that isn't in a destructive industry. If our blood-su-king leadership... — read more

Go look at your future. Zulily, LLC was purchased by Regent. They have a layoff board here as well.

The big news about 2 weeks ago was that (surprise) there'd be more layoffs through mid August. Anyone heard anything new?

As of 6/15 Pearson no longer has a severance policy. Tenure means nothing. This opens up opportunities for inconsistencies and bias. I’m sure there’s going to be discovery and lawyers once someone feels they got less than their former coworkers. — read more 

So there is a hiring freeze. There are some shifting in responsibilities for devs and managers. There are no new projects (no work). Is this an indication of layoffs?

Now that the ecumenical TAS is running HE, will they be next for the chopping block? Especially now that there’s a hiring freeze in place? He’s made more cuts than Gillette.

Shhhhh. Yes, I think I do.

That’s the call out from KB in an email to staff that went out this week. Same blah blah except that our new Regent owners want us to be working back in offices. Because….? So let me get this straight…we know we’re going to be working in an office... — read more

MC and Kim "I know better than anyone" Kim made me what to quit every day. With "leaders" like that, who needs enemies?

What customer in their right mind would consent to having their voice and likeness recorded by a corporation in the AI, Chatgbt world we live in?

Given what's happened over the last two weeks, shocked about how quiet this site has become. People getting pinged with NDAs?

Anyone know what that’s about? Historically last minute is not good.

Pearson laid me off in late 2022, but I start a new job tomorrow after getting two offers about the same time. I'll get Pearson severance a while longer, but can drop the nearly $600 a month COBRA. Same kind of work, but different industry. Same... — read more

Now, more than ever, you can see how this company is taking advantage of the fact that some employees can't find a new job in the current economy. But will they gain anything in the long run? When it becomes easier to find a new job, there will... — read more 

Morale? No one cares about morale. They want that data entered, everything tracked and documented - no matter how far-fetched. If it's on paper (in Salesforce), it's real and can be used to inflate the value and viability of the business. They'll... — read more 

I decided not to wait for them to tell me that I am no longer needed and I left this place. I am pretty sure that I made a good decision. I'm interested in how generous was the severance pay for those who were laid off?

I have the impression that the leadership just talks and talks about improvements, while things remain the same…… So why all these empty promises? In the meantime, the issues continue piling up.

Not sure if it's our id--t leader being deaf to the fact that employees don't like spur of the moment meetings with no agenda, or if layoffs are coming. The constant stress isn't worth it anymore!

Layoffs throughout Recruitment Services today. It didn't matter if they improved performance, they cut staff after a massive hiring increase 4 months ago. Morale was sh-t and this adds more fuel to the fire.
