Did you get this job own job search or did Nielsen agency help?
Congratulations.
received my start date as a public health aide for the city. "I am so excited about this new opportunity"
it appears you meant well with the recent post about looking for employment , but calling for Crematory services ? Is it such a thing ?
I know doing surveys is of course a dead end job , but this is taking it a bit to far. lmao
try expanding outside of the State I found some nice Companies looking for Reps for crematory sales, jewelry orders , Resort bookings . and some of the TV 800 lines you call in and places orders . work is out there just need to look. you really didn't get much of an "education" reading from a script for the number years you have been doing it. pay won't be great and bonus a thing of the past
Texas job opportunities are very slim at this time. Many of us who valued the remote work will find it difficult to replace our Nielsen jobs. I’m not going to lie, I’m getting extremely worried about what I’m going to do once my severance ends.
Will TuesdayTurtle save us? This Caturday seems played out. Serious he bored about not doing logs?
have to agree with the OP the team spirit is evaporating by the days . everyone trying to hold together , but slipping apart as the end nears. Caturdays dont get the boards moving as it use to . cheers and rally last a moment with no others coming in to acknowledge.
Please CATURDAY's bring us the light you once shined back to us.
Wishing my fellow Texans safety with th flooding
I felt hurt by your words , am I so obvious of an A** Kissers? I have been doing it to leadership for years to get ahead and get extra from them . Do you think they noticed? What about my co workers do you think they notice?
Every round of layoffs brings out the A**kissers. We get it, you need your job so if that is what is needed then why not. Just try to not be so obvious.
I stayed 10+ years cuz I wanted to . It’s saddens me cuz they don’t seem to care about Caturdays like they did in the past. Saying of the day
“Be happy you have but one day it’s a present.
Plantation is a poor reference, we have free will, if we don’t like the job we can always move on.
put a request in to use my volunteer hours . i want to do some nice things before I leave
a bright spot to think about on the way out the door the person who made all of us our lives miserable men and woman or "subhumans" on a daily basis has regrets
to little to late . all of us will get a job treated with respect and dignity not like you made us feel.
got my severance last year and could not be happier, what a grinder I was working in. it wasn't till i got out and took time to realize what a routine job and not adding value to society the job is . always asking ri's why they were away from desk to go to bathroom . i felt like a heel. I apologize for treating you subhumans
be happy for the end of calling people at home and asking for Surveys you really DO need to get a real job and stop bother people when driving and Dinner time.
Correct former Arbitron employee. Always looked at how you did things in the past and not into the future. Another Troll on site hahaha 😂
Former Dallas Arbitron employee, all was good then Nielsen started bringing in their people. Call Center never recovered.
keeping people focused and motivated? you must not be part of this crew and a troll posting looking for a response. the people that are left are dedicated to quality and customer satisfaction 100% . everyone is supporting the TL' S to get their max bonus .
this is a strong group left and I couldn't be prouder of them.
buzz off TROLL.
You could not pay me enough to be a Team Leader at this time, it must be he-l keeping people focused and motivated at this point.
Scarborough interviewer for the last 10 years and I would do it for another 10 years. Very sad to see this happening. Team Leaders are doing what they can but you can feel the waning spirt. They still have to do this for another four months, I hope they will all receive a nice bonus or at least severance of more than one week per year.
hows the job search ? dont sit back and think they will come looking for you go out there and get it .
Deep State reports reveal that those who are innocently urging others NOT to post—variously citing Nielsen’s extraordinary interest, motivation, and ability in targeting anonymous individuals in all capacities—have now THEMSELVES been identified and will soon be subpoenaed by a kangaroo court. Sources are urging these well-meaning posters (unwittingly duped by the company’s brilliant and far-reaching Master Plan —code name: ‘Dr. E-Vil’—ingeniously designed to entrap ANY AND ALL who post on this site) to cease posting, and IMMEDIATELY shelter in place with tin hat and burner phone, until such time that HR men-in-black make forced-entry into home, indicating that your entire future is now in their hands. Updates to follow, but must close for now, as it appears that someone is at the front door! TTFN!
some depts are small enough that yeah, you’ll out yourself. there’s being supportive and then there’s being stupid.
Come on, people… things are dire enough without adding unnecessary paranoia: Nielsen employees— current and former—have traditionally stayed in touch… if anybody posts that they heard that a certain dept/ region is experiencing layoffs, unless only one individual was laid off in that particular state/ region/ dept, then the info and subsequent post couldn’t be attributed to any particular individual (theoretically compromising any severance). Unless, of course, you’re posting while on company devices….
Nielsen is such a shady company … dipping to new lows trying to save paying a couple severance packages by baiting people with posts on internet forums.
Just goes to show how bad off the company is financially, and how corrupt they are morally.
Watch out watch out….here they come. Half of LT will be of Indian origin soon….
Agree with @byp+1rTMVu3m, don't answer because this is likely a trap. Wondering if OP is that new c-suite Indian guy they brought on to handle the offshoring - the phrasing and word choice are those of a typical Indian.
just to state the obvious, don’t answer this, anyone. don’t risk what little nielsen is giving you.
this seems like a post geared to find people on this site
Severance? I was asked to leave years ago from so called "poor performance" , not meeting expectations! I was shown the door with no extra money. just what I had in my pocket. I put 10 plus years in .
you know this will put their Severance at risk, right?
