It’s shocking to know that people are still working here after the constant bullsh-t that comes out of the mouth of Regional directors and Field managers. The Field has always been the back bone of this company, but they treat the field like garbage in every way. My only regret before leaving Nielsen is not working harder to get the Fields Reps to start a union, it’s the only way to keep your jobs within this company. Not to mention some of the people let go today had 20 years invested into this company and they get sp-t in the face with an 8 week severance, SMH. GET OUT OR STAY AND START A UNION TO PROTECT YOURSELVES

@a8 the reply would be wait until Trump hears about this? lol
Other than not getting to meet awesome strangers anymore I to am going to miss the car, my personal vehicle gets 14 mpg and with gas prices the way they are this will be rather interesting. I guess running a preforming area and having faults/flags squared away gets you laid off these days🤷♂️
@j7 this is the reason I was there also. The free car didn't hurt either
It seems you’re the one raging. Perhaps you should put some pants on and go look for a job yourself. Then maybe one day you will be able to move out of your folk’s house and do something other than trolling and spreading your hatred.
@mk you clearly have no idea what Nielsen does
"loosers" is the same way Karthik spelled 'losers'. hmmmmm
Is it only Field Reps that that are so bitter?
TBH if you had a brain you shouldve left Nielsen and got a proper job when Blockbuster Video went bust and Streaming services started.
The reason why you are finding it difficult to move on is because no one will hire you because you did a 1960's job and carried on doing it through the millenium.
Maybe if you did a proper job you wouldnt be in the state you are in now.
You loosers refuse to move on and keep coming back hoping to be reemployed and taking it up the backside no matter how much you deny it.
Running around installing 1960 boxes in peoples homes was never a real job.
Maybe you should apply in Walmart. Start delivering appliances to peoples homes. Its more fitting and similar to what you were doing....
For those of you asking, "Why are you still there?"
It's comfortable.
I enjoy working with the panelists.
I like most of my coworkers.
I make my own schedule.
How many employees are left in the US? Union's only leverage is amount of members so not sure this will help at all...
If you think joining a Union is the answer, then you are not paying attention. This would just accelerate Nielsen's plans to go fully Remote Recruitment, Installation, and Maintenance. This has increasingly become a reality with each passing quarter.
Those are the people that believe the nonsense they hear in the town halls and that voice surveys matter.
@OP 20yrs would be 20 weeks of severence. Where are you getting 8 weeks from?
Typical FR, doesnt even know a basic company policy.
Sadly there are people in this company who think unionizing would not be beneficial. I had talks with FRs years ago about unionizing and they said they would vote against it. Crazy fu--ing sh-t. Not sure why I'm still surprised by the idiocy of some people. Then again Donald Trump is president again. 🤷♂️
