No clue who’s idea it was to cut the field like they did but I give it 6 months tops before it really costs the company serious money in the form of rebates due to lack of performance and home counts. The average NSI rep will be running 130ish homes... — read more 

They knew it would happen eventually but it still hurts when it happens. They gave Nielsen 10-20+ years of service and Nielsen just throws them out for cheaper labor overseas. Nielsen is just sealing their fate! I will laugh when I hear that they... — read more 

After 20 years I was just let go. The hardest part is not being able to say goodbye and thank you to my teammates.

Field is being impacted today, reps and managers alike

Field Reps, did you get one tonight?

Phoning it in while diligently working on my future plans. And yes, I’m training my replacement, but I’m pretty lazy about it.

You know it’s coming but has anyone had any real insight as to when?

To all Nielsen executives in the US: we can see what you are doing. You can not gaslight us with your 'panem et circenses' and fake promises

I’ve heard rumored that the GTIC is for sale. Does anyone know if the FR openings listed on the careers page are just old listings?, or are they still actively hiring and if so are they still training in Oldsmar? I assumed that place was pretty much... — read more 

I spent many years working in the NYC office in a client facing role way back when. Been gone for many years now. I go back to the Susan Whiting days when even in NYC, the big rat race, the office felt like family. Really good times. Obviously in... — read more 

I think even the “essential” roles are no longer safe. Everything is headed out. Keep your resume warm, folks.

Absolutely disgusted to hear that Nielsen just laid off someone with 37 YEARS of experience. This company keeps axing longtime employees who gave everything—nights, weekends, holidays—sacrificing their time and health for decades. And for what? No... — read more 

Any su-kers left? What are you working on if so?

Brand is important - BUT INTEGRITY and the greatest asset a business could have is HUMAN CAPITAL ... Where do we stand on that note ? Comments welcomed.

Still no job. Not unless you're willing to take a 50 percent pay cut, which I'm still not in a position to have to do. But ask me again in three or four months if nothing better turns up.

Playing nice is off the table. Unions haven’t and will not work. We are already all on our way out, this might be our last chance to save our job. Time to roll up our sleeves, all hands on deck! Many comments over the years have been made on the in... — read more 

Is it too late? Can all workers come together and unionize collectively? Are there any areas currently attempting this? Or are we just waiting to get fired? because that's going to happen for sure.

If you understand the acronyms, this post is for you. You think that you are lucky that they decided to push back SMP for the NPM? They didn't push it back, they have decided to shut what is left of the NPM down in the near future. If you are an FR... — read more 

So they just canned almost the entirety of TAM ROC and Audio. They did nail the most fu---d up way of doing it too. Kudos to them

Is that a good sign, or has everyone just stopped caring? Kinda feels like we're all just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Not sure which is worse.

Is Nielsen worried that Pakistan will target Nielsen business infrastructure? Is Security measure being taken?

Come on everyone. Let it out! If you're here you've probably been laid off today or in the past. Who said what? TAM and Audio? Is anyone left? Let's anonymously talk.

No offense to anyone but curious what at this point is keeping people from finding a new position outside Nielsen?
