Thread regarding Pearson PLC layoffs

I thought that the changes discussed were more clearly outlined than they have in the past. I left the call knowing why it was happening, what will likely happen to my job, and next steps. I didn't leave in fear, which I have in the past.

The last reorg left me in a very messy spot - between 3 BUs - and a completely unsustainable workload. It was terrible on my mental health and impacted my family. This reorg will solve that problem. I appreciate and welcome the change.

@e6 they are not reconsidering a thing about job titles, other than their excuses.

Any review will change nothing, when they are the problem.

My 2 key takeaways:

  • Headcount now 17k. I remember when it was over 40k then drastically cut to 20k+. The decline continues.

  • the 'new' Job titles - so many unhappy people it seems they are reconsidering/reviewing after the reputational damage caused.

That Clownhall was incredible! IA,AI, corporate word salad, bouncing right quick when Q&A starts, bye bye. Just make a website that works. We all know you're trying to trim the workforce. Just stop lying. Holy sh1t.
