Thread regarding Pearson PLC layoffs

Worked there 20 years, laid off with no warning and minimal severance

The first 18 years, working as part of VUE, were great. I was valued, respected, and my contributions meant something. The along comes Omar, and VUE largely gets absorbed into corporate, the Azure migration occurred, and the culture changed dramatically. Dave Treat really likes to listen to himself talk, Omar and the rest of senior leadership are too busy jet-setting to set a clear strategy. The cherry on top came in May when I was unexpectedly laid off after 20 years, with a whopping 8 weeks of severance. Hello early retirement, goodbye toxic workplace.

Over 25 years here. Many of my friends were laid off about 10 years ago. Many of them were 25+ year employees and got 12 months severance. At this point I'd welcome a layoff despite the pitiful severance now being offered. That's how toxic and ridiculous HE has become.

I'm so sorry. Wishing you the best. Though that means nothing,I know, I'm sure many of us will be in the same situation very soon.
