I was a former employee of 35 years at Pearson Vue. I too was let go on the 12th. I gave all my loyal and dedication to this company for a lot of time. I was mortified when I found out that my job had been eliminated due to it being outsourced to India. This will fail as everything else will fail because everybody is just a $to them. This is not the company that I show loyalty to for all the years so I’m OK with leaving as I did knowing that I put my best effort forward. They let a lot of good people that dedicated all their time to helping Pearson be what it is today. So sad. They were so sneaky about how they did the layoffs. Some people still don’t know the total number of employees who were let go. Most of the people who I am aware of were here 15 plus years.

Yet VUE is getting 100%+ AIP bonuses this year?? Something doesn't add up.
@13y It’s absolutely disgusting to see higher job titles being given to corporate while many VUE staff titles are being downgraded even though I’m pretty sure alot of us are more competent than them. They did this deliberately to reinforce hierarchy and authority. I doubt high engagement scores would be given under this leadership. People were happier when vue was a separate unit.
To HR and the wider company, the people who’ve been made "redundant" are now officially The Enemy. It’s genuinely shameful, disrespectful behaviour – straight-up ar--hole stuff. I actually feel sorry for those still putting in the hours at what used to be a really good place to work. But go ahead, everyone – keep ticking 5s on the Gallup survey. Keep feeding the executive delusion.
@ah Around 400 people globally so far I've heard
Really sorry about your experience. Not at all respectful of your dedication and service. Pearson does not care, and what is sadder, likely never did. The offshoring for cheap labor is so typical now and signals such a moral failing of the people at the top.
I’ve been with VUE for nearly 10 years so not as long as you have. But it’s just not the same especially without so many key members they’ve let go. I hate this place now. Corporate can continue to destroy it. There’s a reason why no one like to work with corporate because they’re rude and entitled AF
How many people do you think were let go?
