for the past few weeks since the last round of layoffs, audio management and TLs have been loving to give "encouragement" to us to perform better by saying how much better in performance the global people are doing in the same roles we hold in the states. Certainly promising and encouraging, huh?

Leadship in in this thread see below I like how they blatantly admitted it! Hilarious!
Very true, the people who are being hired to replace us are not at fault. We should not be taking it out on them and not properly train them. Why are you setting them up for failure?
And no I’m not a Leadership troll and I’m not Karthick.
How are some of you getting away with not training your replacements? My boss is on me everyday to report back progress to him and mark down progress percentages. I fear if I slack off at all I’ll be fired and get zero severance.
My boss is clearly trying to save his own position but it’s awful for me.
Well soon I’ll be out of here so I just deal with it until then.
Honestly my replacement is nice enough, and not unskilled but there’s just not enough time to get them ramped up. So even capable replacements are set up for failure.
This is true. I've literally been taking a one hour task and stretching it out to a full day or more, while refusing to train anyone from offshore.
We had one that after a year and a half just realized that Nielsen has a panel.
They had no clue, and then the dimly lit lightbulb came on. This is what the future holds for Nielsen, it's products and clients.
It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s partly true. The new hires are probably a lot less jaded. The people on my team are so checked out they’re barely doing their work. It takes them all day to do simple tasks and they have been here for years.
These India folks have been working alongside us in various departments for a year or two now and still have no idea what they're doing. Have to have their hand held with everything, and completely lock up at the hint of any curve ball coming their way.
No clue on the why behind what they do. Just a bunch of monkeys pulling levers as instructed, and will completely fall apart once their support systems are removed.
There's also the US college grads who think they're something with all of the extra tasks being loaded onto them ... for their sub $40K selves ... who are also training these replacements and being led down the path of their own sla-ghter.
Have zero respect for anyone still at Nielsen, except for those soon leaving. Congrats!
Nielsen is indeed dead.
They have to talk up the replacements and play ball, they’re desperate to save their own jobs. So they’ll walk around hyping up new hires in a GCC even if they’re not actually performing well. the truth will come out once most jobs are in the GCCs and product development stalls and no new “innovation” happens and quality sinks when big issues arise.
Nielsen is over.
They most likely are doing better.fresh training trying to impress leadership and old entitled reps hanging onto their positions
