Thread regarding Pearson PLC layoffs

No one cares about morale

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 lean the company out as much as possible, sell off the pieces and the execs will walk away with payouts, major shareholders will cash out and we'll all know exactly what happened.

Sad but true words. OP is @1vis+1lFlMHmE.

Pearson is going the way of the yellow pages.

Our virtual award session this week had to be the most uninspiring and depressing event. My morale sunk to an all time low following the event.

The worst spring selling season in the history of Pearson. Very little strategy from our leadership team. They really have no clue about this industry or company.

One thing that leadership changes quickly is culture and this new group of leaders has ki-led what was left of Pearsons culture and morale. At onetime this company had a winning culture that was about having fun and teamwork. We had a lot of passionate people that wanted to be in education. Those days are gone.

Concern about morale hasn't been around since I don't know when. During the pandemic when they were scared everyone would just stop working or leave there was some pretending to care.

Not pretending anymore. Doubling down on the draconian measures.

This is a company that loves a bad economy because workers become desperate & are willing to accept low pay & terrible conditions.

I could tell when the economy was better and for a moment the workers had the upper hand, they were waiting to jump on the down cycle.

This is 100 percent true. They would fire 90 percent of the workforce if they could.

Have you seen the stock price of Facebook since they began cutting? It’s up 40-50 percent. Investors want lean companies with little overhead. It is in direct conflict with employees who want predictable job security and safety.
