Probably would have gotten it by now?

Curious if they’ll update us on the business impact of turning LinkedIn the color of abuse

Reactions to today’s town hall? I’m embarrassed.

Happening now! Very nervous! Anyone have insight on this reorg?

New logo is horrible. And purple? Why??? Interrobang was clever. No one sees a ripple. How much time, money and effort wasted on rebranding?

About 5 years too late but at last we have a CEO that has cut out one of the most toxic PEM members to ever sit in the grown ups chair! This two faced, Trump-like, poisonous thorn in the side of Pearson has been in post for far too long and... — read more 

How will our world change now

The unhappiness on the managers call this week was evident. In my seven years / three ceos I’ve seen plenty of BS and bad leaders but the current combination is the most patronizing yet. The company is f—cked.

Has anyone noticed their sick time not accumulating in Fusion anymore? A number of salaried employees in our department have noticed their sick balance doesn’t increase when the calculation date is moved to the future. Other salaried employees are... — read more

Anyone would care to chime in with a prediction about potential Pearson layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

With the Q3 Trading Update next Tuesday, 10/29, layoffs may come this week ahead of the financial results being announced.

The dead silence of this group suggests: 1. Everyone who knew about it got fired or 2. Pearson has trolled it and people have been told to STFU. To resurrect it, hold on to your hats because insane stuff is to come.

I know there were some cuts yesterday, but what about today? Does anybody know more about what's happening?

I feel like he’s very much working behind the scenes and I don’t have a sense of his plan for the future (besides AI). Wish we could go back to the Majorie days.

I received an offer from Pearson to be on the marketing team. I've read that there were a lot of layoffs earlier this year. Are there more to come? Should I be worried as a new-hire?

So Boundless is making us go into an office now. No more working from home. This was a rough week driving into Chandler from BFE. I left early bc rff it. It’s Friday and I’m not spending 1.5 hours in traffic every Friday afternoon. Get used to it, bc... — read more 

Rumor is IS team is being let go. T/F?

How do we get info on what BL has been up to? I know they are not a part of Pearson anymore but I don't see they have a page on here that exists and I don't think just anyone can create one.

Any insight or observations on the new CEO? How he will impact the company? He's made 2 posts about his first & second weeks, what do you think?

How was it?

Will there be any Pearson layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Regent flat out lied to Zulily staff. Told them they had 60 days but then chopped them days before Christmas. They will do the same thing to us. I wonder if they are paying any of our contractors or if our software will just one day not work... — read more 

I was laid off from Pearson in 2022 after 14 years. HR told me it was a cost cutting measure. I got 42 weeks of severance but quickly found a new job at a better company for more money. The other day, I was doing something at work and happened... — read more 

Regent purchased Zuliliy a few months before Pearson OPM. They faced mass layoffs like us right after the sale and are now going through more layoffs and lawsuits due to Regent not paying vendors:... — read more 

Hello, all. I’m looking for intel on PM jobs at Pearson. How stable is that role or part of the company? Or should I run the other way? With all the layoffs across EdTech, I want to make sure I don’t apply and end up cut in a few months. — read more 

From 70mil to 40 mil. Which departments do you think are going to get laid off?

They want employees to quit. There’s no sense in instituting a back to office policy and then make it as difficult as you can by setting the travel distance to 2 hours each way if the reason is for what the ELT has claimed. In Orlando, that’s as... — read more

The TAS townhalls are increasingly disturbing. From an HR perspective, is being chastised by leadership "to get your sh-t together" OK to share on social media?

I don't think I'm the only one who feels that way. Why are there so many pointless meetings here?
