SJ is the biggest liabilty for Pearson. Future of Pearson revolves around her being replaced by a leader who respects and values staff.

Pearson continues to decline year after year, I’m shocked they are still hiring people. Every 8-12 months it’s time to layoff a group of people and start over again next year. I spent 7 years watching this disaster before finally leaving. The lack of... — read more 

This is going to explode at some point, the level of exclusion in this company is just unbearable, I had to say it, there's just so much toxicity I just hope this message reaches someone thinking of joining this company.. be careful

I would have liked someone to warn me when I was considering joining Pearson, so here we go: this is the most toxic company ever, you will regret joining

Hi, wondering what the pay for QA Product Manager in HigherED US is, I have been here for 3 years, have not received a raise.

If you’re a sales rep, curious to hear what your base salary is if you don’t mind sharing. Thanks!

Is vue being absorbed by corporate and will this result in more lay offs?

Lots of great people getting let go. Great people who do important work. This is going to make those who survive even more spread thin. I’m absolutely devastated over recent losses. It will hurt the bottom line. Leadership doesn’t know it yet... — read more 

Has anyone heard rumours of large scale restructuring at Pearson over summer/autumn 2025? I have a feeling Pearson will announce this as part of their half year results within the next week. Thoughts?

Will this come with layoffs? Feel very uneasy about the announcement sent out this morning.

First they scrapped DEI stuff, now there are rumours of serious discrimination claims coming out of the UK. Apparently SLT’s aware and a few names are involved? Not exactly shocking, but WTH is going on? If true, it serves them right. Anyone else... — read more 

Restructuring (yet again) probably to free up funds for Botox and teeth whitening, I’d guess.

Probably would have gotten it by now?

Curious if they’ll update us on the business impact of turning LinkedIn the color of abuse

Reactions to today’s town hall? I’m embarrassed.

Happening now! Very nervous! Anyone have insight on this reorg?

New logo is horrible. And purple? Why??? Interrobang was clever. No one sees a ripple. How much time, money and effort wasted on rebranding?

About 5 years too late but at last we have a CEO that has cut out one of the most toxic PEM members to ever sit in the grown ups chair! This two faced, Trump-like, poisonous thorn in the side of Pearson has been in post for far too long and... — read more 

How will our world change now

The unhappiness on the managers call this week was evident. In my seven years / three ceos I’ve seen plenty of BS and bad leaders but the current combination is the most patronizing yet. The company is f—cked.

Has anyone noticed their sick time not accumulating in Fusion anymore? A number of salaried employees in our department have noticed their sick balance doesn’t increase when the calculation date is moved to the future. Other salaried employees are... — read more

Anyone would care to chime in with a prediction about potential Pearson layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

With the Q3 Trading Update next Tuesday, 10/29, layoffs may come this week ahead of the financial results being announced.

The dead silence of this group suggests: 1. Everyone who knew about it got fired or 2. Pearson has trolled it and people have been told to STFU. To resurrect it, hold on to your hats because insane stuff is to come.

I know there were some cuts yesterday, but what about today? Does anybody know more about what's happening?

I feel like he’s very much working behind the scenes and I don’t have a sense of his plan for the future (besides AI). Wish we could go back to the Majorie days.

I received an offer from Pearson to be on the marketing team. I've read that there were a lot of layoffs earlier this year. Are there more to come? Should I be worried as a new-hire?

So Boundless is making us go into an office now. No more working from home. This was a rough week driving into Chandler from BFE. I left early bc rff it. It’s Friday and I’m not spending 1.5 hours in traffic every Friday afternoon. Get used to it, bc... — read more 

Rumor is IS team is being let go. T/F?

How do we get info on what BL has been up to? I know they are not a part of Pearson anymore but I don't see they have a page on here that exists and I don't think just anyone can create one.

Any insight or observations on the new CEO? How he will impact the company? He's made 2 posts about his first & second weeks, what do you think?
