Thread regarding Pearson PLC layoffs

Pearson - where "leaders" are hypocrites and liars

Its so laughable when Pearson.jobs site has this on its home page. The very first line is a big fat lie. They don't value their people. In fact, they removed their entire DEI page when the new administration came to power.
My advise to Pearson management - Don't claim what you cannot stand by, its not hard lest you are labelled as a RAT.

Our Culture
We value the well-being of our people. That's why, for most roles, we offer flexibility in how and where we work—be it from home, an office, or during non-traditional hours. You can help us build a culture where everyone—regardless of what they look like, where they come from, or what they believe—has the capability to unlock new skills and claim new opportunities.

@1ph ArtistFormallyKnownAsVP haven't heard the felon's name in a while. Didn't he have his friends build a new cloud platform ? Is PearsonAI running on PearsonCloud yet?

Pearson leadership has always been a bunch of liars and cheats.

Some were actively pocketing money from Cognizant to hire massive teams in India and here at the cost of American workers and paid those Cognizant teams while there were no projects at all. Just to satisfy their Cognizant bosses and get cut money.

Some of those leaders retired early.
Anyone wants to talk about them? Neena C., Clayton T., Ritu S. ? Remember them in HEd?

@1ph Code of Conduct messaging is code for "someone quite senior messed up" and I also suspect a Q4 shakeup; after all, a new company was acquired and those leaders and employees need to go somewhere.

Code of conduct request made me laugh. Omar’s word salad about acting with credibility.

Hired his mates, lies through his teeth to employees alongside them, and achieved nothing. AI has saved him.

They are running out of time. I expect a big shake up to the business units to make things look like they’re working to Investors

I’ve been here 20 years, it is crazy that the best CEO has been John Fallon by a million miles - that is how fu---d we are.

All the top positions are filled by lily white individuals. Always has been, always will be and there's nothing we can do to change that.

Don’t you know they’re meeting their DEI targets anyway by offshoring everything all the roles and work. Between AI and offshore workers - wonder how well that’s going.

In editorial in stock dates were delayed because we were asked to remove any language the current administration does not want used.

@d7 credly website, which was previously a major part of DEI initiatives, was completely scrubbed of any mention of it. Super under the table of course. When the highest up person on the legal team direct messages someone low on the totem pole, you know it’s suspicious.

Icing on the cake was when they actually deactivated accounts in sanctioned countries. Cause that’s what the worlds leading learning company would do!

Yep, they just folded, I remember having to (reluctantly) remove DEI from one of our smaller sites. Most companies had the cojones to stand their ground, but not us; we have to keep the spray tan dictator happy, even if it's for sites on the other side of the world.
