I was part of the batch of folks who got laid off in Jan 2024. I do not seem to have received any info from 2U regarding tax documents for my severance pay. Did other folks receive this/if not who would you recommend reaching out to?

Did anyone get a lawyer to look at their severance package before they signed it? Contemplating whether I should do that, but the package looks pretty standard.

The plan is to move everything to Cape Town and automate it, fyi. They are already actively doing this in the App Services dept. Just get ready for the fat to be trimmed even further.

How much severance was offered this round of layoffs today? I didn’t get layed off but worried that with this CEOs track record I won’t get severance pay.

Just curious! I can’t imagine there’s many of us left!

I saw that one of the software contractors was informed they will be no longer working at 2u at the end of the month. Does anyone know if there are more contractors being let go?

I hope you enjoyed the tree day weekend…

For those who were laid off in past rounds, how did your severance pay compare to your regular pay? Was it taxed at a much higher rate, or was your net pretty much the same as a regular paycheck?

For severance are they going to round up or how does it work? For example I worked at 2U for 2 years and 7 months. Does that mean I’ll get 3 years of severance or 2 years? Just wondering no one seems to have the exact answer.
