Thread regarding Nielsen layoffs

4/4/2024 Nielsen Layoffs

Employees from different departments, including Data Science, TAM (Technical Account Management), and GDS (Global Data Science), reported being let go as of this morning (Thur 4/4/2024 to be exact). The pattern of layoffs described includes being locked out of company systems shortly after receiving the news, with meeting invitations for the layoffs often sent the same day, sometimes only 1 or 2 hrs before the meeting scheduled on a short notice (some, better, managers might place the meeting the night before as a subtle warning).

See the long thread here on layoffs.com and you'll see all the frustration over the lack of loyalty from the company, despite years of service, so new hires or potential candidates are certainly thinking twice now.

It's grim, sh-t keeps repeathing and I am not seeing things improving any time soon. Maybe it's time for me to leave (unless they cut me first)

Former 29 year employee of this company. Nielsen is a souless company that doesn't have any commitment to their employees. Mismanagement has once again put the company in colossal debt with no end in sight. Welcome to private equity.....

yes managers are being affected as well and laid off

over 60 people managers were informed they are laying people off this week (i saw the list)

the choices make little sense to me, it’s all over

high performers
poor performers
some replaced by india
some not
some seems personal to me so don’t argue with leadership ok

Company always stoops to a new record low, week after week. Can't see how anyone would think that coming to work here would be of any benefit to their career ... or sanity.
