The grass isn't greener elsewhere. Every company is pulling this crap now. They are booting out invaluable employees for short term gains while sending the company down the gutter in the long term. Your boss won't save you or your position. Organize... read more

More redundancy - this company is going down the pan. IRI are winning big in USA and Nielsen are too expensive for most only the very large companies can afford them. Its all about cost cutting and strategy is very weak - layer upon layer of... read more

Big number of people losing their jobs globally. In western Europe many good and very experienced people losing their jobs to pay for the mismanagement of those at the top in the US. Seems like the company is run to make share holders and the short... read more

Did anyone else laid off incur high healthcare costs (either for you, spouse, or dependent) in the last year or so? I didn’t think anything of it, but conveniently I also just got hit with an audit to verify my dependent(s) during my continuation... read more

The department I work in is scheduling interviews for people with the same skills that people just let go have. Looks like another situation of laying off older workers to be replaced with younger and cheaper.

In case somebody missed it, Nielsen is laying off over 700 employees in May and June. Oldsmar and North Venice are being hit. A few of the lucky ones from those locations are getting transferred, but the rest will be shown the door. I don't... read more

You hear about the layoffs at Sears, layoffs at Loblaws, etc. No one seems to know (or care) that AC Nielsen is closing its call centre, Market Survey Business at the end of November, 2017 (Just in time for Christmas - and, actually will not receive... read more
