Thread regarding Pearson PLC layoffs

Executive Whistleblowing?

As a result of hearing of more layoffs in my business unit this week I'm waking up anxious again at 4am. Although I know I should leave, I'm finding it difficult to get a role that isn't in a destructive industry.

If our blood-su-king leadership left, things could improve. This may never be a great business but we could be proud to come to work. What dirt exists about the executives? With so much backstabbing and lying to investors and employees going on there must be something big.

If you are wondering why someone would want to harm the company they are in, just look at our POLS colleagues who got sold and then fired immediately without any Pearson benefits retained. Our leadership knew that would happen and they let it happen, when policies could have been retained in terms of sale.

They deserve nothing but a taste of their own medicine. F*** every single one of them.

Leaving POLS on my own terms was the best decision I ever made. I'm finally getting paid what I deserve, don't have to deal with the red tape and bureaucracy, and have time to get actual WORK done without spending hours in pointless meetings every week.

I joined a small start-up that is already profitable. I make less and they don't provide insurance, but I've never been happier in my career and I'm in my early 50's! I'm so busy that I can't get to all of my sales opportunities, all which are actually legitimate.

The people in my company like one another and respect each other. The executive team is more than 50% women. Leadership involves us in decisions and is 100% transparent. They value people and are profitable. Newsflash! You can actually do both! I'm thankful every singe day that I never have to sell to a school again!

Leave. Seriously. How many straight years of layoffs has Pearson done? At least 9. They have cut their employees by over 50%. SLOWLY SINKING SHIP.
The world outside of Pearson is amazing. The sheer lack of stress from being asked to do three headcounts worth of work, never making revenue numbers and always worrying about the next round of cuts just isn’t worth it.

There’s a project looking at delisting from the FTSE and moving to the US because the CEO doesn’t think our investors/shareholders understand how the company makes money.
Funny from the same person that only talks about the parts of the business (D2C and workforce) that make breadcrumbs in comparison to the others.
