Did you get one or are you gonna get fired

lots of Cengagers moving to Goodheart-Willcox.

WTF ..? What is this "leadership team"? How are these people who are so inept able to keep their jobs? Is there something we don't know about? What do I need to do to be able to just flail around meaninglessly, so I can get my monthly pay until I... — read more 

Interesting job posting for a Manager of Corporate Development. Is this Apollo’a next step? Sell parts (or all) of the company? From the job listing: Manager, Corporate Development The Corporate Development team is a small, high-profile team based... — read more 

I wonder how this settlement further impacts overall company revenue.....it can't be good: https://www.cengageroyaltiesclassaction.com/Home/portalid/0

It’s been a while since I have gotten any good sales meeting stories. How was this years meeting? A lot of the same thing? Heavy drinking and useless breakout sessions? Post comment or if there were any talk of layoffs?

Cengage has the best Sales Disablement team in EdTech. What a joke!

Greetings, As we gather to remember the National Day of Mourning, I want to make an announcement that should excite and invigorate the Cenforce almost as much as a hot yoga session. As we enter the holiday season, many of you will receive the gift... — read more 

Anyone else feel like Cengage is just pretending to the be in the business of publishing/ed tech at this point? What I mean is that the business of producing educational materials is just a front or a facade to conceal the real focus of the... — read more 

Make it make sense.

Is anyone else concerned about the possibility members of the Leadership Team will be involuntarily removed from the country?

That's my speculation. But we will see!

hey guys i was laid off almost exactly a year ago. found this website just now and, well, wow. there is alot of doom & gloom going on apparently. it sounds like they are consolidating alot of roles into one as far as the content people go. Did they... — read more 

pretty sure Cengage are jettisoning higher ed given the people they are making redundant

Does this mean all other CMs and CCMs will be let go?

You have lost the trust of your employees. From the brand new college grads you hired all the way to the long tenured employees. It’s toast.

Geeeez…. What are these awful changes all the time?

I get at least one incident notification a day that MindTap, Cengage eReader, Ed2Go, or E-commerce platforms are down.

The hubris of Cengage leadership is responsible for the current dysfunction and fear that pervades the organization. They are shameless. What do I know, I went to a state school.

So, I'm planning to ask what my new job description should be, given that the one I signed onto has changed significantly. This should be fun

I’m LMAO at the latest HR emails. Aww, dear leaders do care about our wellness, that is until they outsource us.

Meeting next Monday. I wonder how scary it will be.

What the title says. 80 CPMs hired since last year and 35 CMs & 10 DPMs left in U.S. This shows the fate of many.

The heat is on, folks. Applying for jobs as I am learning how we are being micromanaged. Dear leaders are scared about numbers.

People in the US may not understand this, but in some countries you can bank leave. Every time management asks us (for our own good apparently) to use up our leave its about reducing their financial obligations. Well, new dear leader has asked us to... — read more 

July had the most layoffs. I wonder if this affects the engagement survey.

This question is for those who have had team mates or managers laid off but you were left unscathed. What has changed in your current role? Are you picking up the slack and doing the work of 2 or more? Were there any promotions or job title changes?... — read more 

Managers who clearly handball tasks and brag about no longer having reports, can't communicate and when they do they seem to have the memory of a brick, are too busy back slapping each other to actually know what's happening in their teams, and act... — read more 

I know that HR aren't usually your friend, but I'm devestated that one of our HR people will be gone after tomorrow, she sought me out after my partner died, and I learned that she'd also been through the same thing. Her job has been off-shored... — read more 

I've always found it interesting how politicians tend to focus on foreigners "stealing our jobs" in the US, but conveniently overlook the fact that US companies can freely lay off American workers and outsource those jobs to other countries. It's... — read more

I can’t believe this. I’m going to come into office but I’m gonna smoke a big ol doobie before I do!!!! Whose with me?

Is this site full of ex-employees? Because I can tell you, everything is going well in Inside Sales. There is no talk of layoffs anytime soon or ever. Customers have not complained one bit about anything. Everybody I know works from home. There’s no... — read more 

Offshore customer service is awful, and these incompetent teams are given much more grace than teams who have survived Horizon. Laying off quality workers here to exploit those in developing nations without regard to quality products end customer... — read more 

Just what the title says. Saw the List of Departures - Week of July 28th and it's LONG.

With the stock market tanking, I think it won't be long before private equity come for their $$s. Will not be surprised if certain parts of the business are sold off soon. This is just the feeling in my waters, and not inside intel, however I've seen... — read more 

Getting laid off tomorrow. They don’t know that I know already that I’m getting laid off. What should I do to make this the most uncomfortable day for my boss?

Another week of holding Zoom calls to say goodbye to wonderful Content Managers who have been laid off in the latest round of cuts. Another week of reading their heartfelt, eloquent email farewells. Another week of feeling sad for them, sadder for us... — read more
