What teams were let go from QBY?
Qby is a bloodbath
I'm free and clear now that severance is expired and no connection to the firm. wish you all the best and hope you find a good place to put your talents to work . I was in one of their call centers managing a group of talented ri's was their title.
many good years and a life time of memories.
My severance expires end of May.
I was expecting four weeks tops so a little extra was unexpected but appreciated. I don’t know why that happened. I didn’t ask. I just signed my paperwork.
Not OP but was also laid off today, in GDS
Did they offer a severance package?
Good luck to all you got out at the right time
No media coverage so far but:

It’s so sickening to hear about layoffs basically every month, or week it seems. Blessings to those who were given the news today
Nielsen’s true coward colors showing now … sending layoff invites the same day and locking people out within an hour.
For potential new hires - THIS IS HOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LOYAL TO THE COMPANY FOR YEARS ARE TREATED. YOU … DESPITE WHAT YOU THINK … WILL BE NO DIFFERENT.
Run, run, run from this company like your hair is on fire. Nothing good comes from working for Nielsen, except for like when owning a boat … your first day then your last.
Yes, locked out of system shortly after, meeting request sent same day
You are locked out within an hour of the layoff.
The meeting is usually put on that day (Within an hour or two of the call) or the night before if your boss is cool and wants to warn you without telling you.
Thanks for the heads up! Layoffs su-k and looks like they are back to doing them on pay weeks…
Question for all those who’ve gone through it..do you start getting locked out of systems before getting laid off? How far in advance does the meeting with management and HR gets placed on the calendar last min or hours advance notice?
What level ? Manager ?
Not OP but let go in Data Science
Not the person who made that post, but I was in TAM.
Not the OP but I was in GDS and was let go.
Department?
What dept?
I'm sorry, layoffs su-k, happened to me last year. You will be fine though, try not to worry : )
