I had to leave Nielsen Media (not NielsenIQ) while battling MDS. My haemoglobin dropped to 5 and I physically couldn’t travel. I submitted medical certificates and requested temporary WFH during post-transplant recovery (doctors require ~2 years).

Their response: come to the office 5 days or take loss of pay. No accommodation.

When I had to resign, they even recovered my relocation money.

Meanwhile they were still sending “Great Place to Work” surveys. Absolute hypocrisy and zero humanity.

After hearing so many inhumane stories, this does not surprise me. Tech Leadership lacks empathy and does not care about employees. Regarding "Great Place to Work", do note, outside of Tech department, Nielsen Media is a good company. It's just that the Tech leadership is screwed up.
