I don’t know what to do about it. What’s your experience? Thanks.

I've done the absolute bare minimum with some mistakes / admission of some key processes. My two replacements nod along and ask no questions, it's very clear they don't understand what they have to do. I don't care, I don't owe Nielsen anything and I can't wait to see it burn to the ground in the next few years
I did, I had to meet set criteria or I’d get no severance. My bosses cared. I did the best I could, given I had no choice if I wanted to keep getting paychecks until severance started. I dunno, Nielsen’s financial nightmare and their awfulness isn’t the replacements fault. I was nice to my replacement. No reason not to be, they have nothing to do with Nielsen’s demise. They’ve been sold snake oil too and have no idea how quickly they’ll be blamed and fired when things go wrong. So eventually they’ll be fu---d too. Shrug.
I got two more months of work and healthcare before severance started so yeah, I played the game. I managed to lock down a new job in that time period, thankfully.
Training is really up to how your managers handle it and if they’ll care. My managers are (well, were) Nielsen loyalists to the bone so for me it was train or be immediately fired.
I have no idea what's happening in the comments here, but to actually answer your question.
I know 1 person who refused to train. As far as I know, there were no consequences but there were also other people in their dept who could train the replacements.
And yes, several of the ones who did train in that dept did only the bare minimum. Why would you go above and beyond to train your own replacement????
I made it clear from day one to not ask me and they never did. For six months I didn’t even acknowledge the India people as being part of the team as they were not.
So stop defending them, and pulling your oh so handy race card out whenever someone takes a stance that differs from your own.
These id--ts cannot even do the base level work necessary to keep Nielsen afloat while putting thousands of us out of work for no other reason than being cheap and clueless.
There’s no racism with not training them. It’s a simple stance against a company now treating workers like garbage while not acknowledging the cancer settling in.
The people in other countries have done nothing to you. Stop hating on them. Stop the Tanner level racist remarks.
How would you feel if your co-workers refused to train you because of your race or national origin? It appears there are a bunch of racists here like that SWAT manager T.T.
don't you get less severance basically if you refuse to do the training?
Instead of resisting just doing bare minimum is best to prevent friction. leadership is incompetent af so they won't catch you.
