Nielsen Skips Official Statement on Layoffs
The Nielsen Company’s chief press officer Gary Holmes said there wouldn’t be an official statement from the company on yesterday’s layoffs, said to number as high as 50. The most official word we could get, after the jump…
“It’s part of an ongoing restructuring of the company,” he said by phone last night. “It’s something we’ve been working on for over a year and a half — the announced plan to make the company more efficient.”
