Guys, if you have any transferable skills, any leg to stand on, just leave and find another job. It took me a while, but only after I had left I realized what blood and soul-su-king place Nielsen had been. I feel much happier now. New job is not a miracle, nor a dream job, nor am I paid much better or anything. It’s just different, and I finally feel unshackled. Half of what is keeping you there is fear and hostage mentality.

thanks!
my entire department became inept. I don’t know how any of the leaders are still around, unless they have expensive layoff clauses. Nobody does anything. Former colleagues message me to check on me and tell me there’s no progress on anything. I thought this was the year of “innovation” lol
i will think good thoughts for all of you looking. it’s hard out there. be nice to yourselves. and don’t give up, you will get thru this.
Congratulations! I’m looking now. I really hope I have better coworkers at my next job. The team I’m on now has the laziest, least competent people I’ve ever worked with on it. I’m not sure how I lasted this long. After so many years, it is like their brains have atrophied.
I finally got a new job! Five months into looking.
Keep the faith everyone. There is hope on the other side of this nightmare.
I was part of feb layoff and felt betrayed being there for 12 plus years either as contractor or full time .. but then when I found a new job immediately after, I realised it’s a much needed fresh breathe of air.. I have so much independence here which was totally not there when I was in nielsen with ah*s not transferring knowledge or projecting your works as theirs or keeping you under shades to save their places .. I earn less that what I did in nielsen but still I feel much better .
the arrogant leadership knows they are getting flushed also its a poker face. good luck in the future.
i’m only earning twenty an hour post layoff so my finances are fu---d and it’s still better than nielsen
Left recently and MY GOD what a sh*thole Nielsen has become. Wake up every day feeling like a new person not having to be there anymore and deal with all of the beat downs.
Can’t imagine there’s a worse place to work. Low pay, low moral, low skill offshore replacements, low appreciation with no place to go internally. Just paradise.
Management was so incredibly pompous on my way out, and acted like it was my loss leaving. That’s how disconnected people are there now.
A corn t*rd circling the toilet bowl and finally FLUSH! goes Nielsen from my life.
Yes! Working somewhere else for a while now made me realize how horrible the leadership was at Nielsen and how horrible it was for my mental health.
Everyone, get out if you can!
