Greetings, I’m proud to announce that Google has taken a page out of our leadership team’s playbook as they look to emulate Cengage’s explosive success in EdTech. Layoffs do not show a company’s weakness, they are a way to project strength. Think... —  read more 

How in the world did Cengage get voted best place to work in a 2023 Glassdoor survey? I mean really. Everyone is overworked and underpaid. Loved my boss explaining the 1.2% annual raise. Meanwhile MH is vacationing in an Italian villa.

Now they are hiring for a lot of the positions they laid off last year—feel bad for the new comers, since they will be paid less than the people they laid off . Jobs that required college degrees are now equivalent experience lol. They will be so... —  read more 

One of my children recently started online college classes. While both Cengage and Pearson materials had to be purchased, a few classes are providing free material by a company called OpenStax. I always thought of no-cost materials to be... —  read more 

Why is it working at Cengage seems like nothing more than a slumber party gone wrong at the sorority? I've never in my life met so many underperforming mean gossiping girls in my life than here? If someone doesn't have any gossiping backstabbing... —  read more 

There is no December 32nd. Oh wait.

Did Cengage just recently have a live national engagement summit? This is the company that just laid off a bunch of people and then spend hundreds of thousands "learning" and "celebrating successes"? If Cengage did have a face to face meeting... —  read more

A better question would be "How do you integrate work and life?" "It's a fool's errand" to drop the iPhone or pen at 5 p.m. and the weekends.

The population of college-age Americans is about to crash. It will change higher education forever. In four years, the number of students graduating from high schools across the country will begin a sudden and precipitous decline, due to a rolling... —  read more 

Left Cengage five years ago because I couldn't take it anymore. Talked to a former colleague who worked in software dev that was let go over the summer and found a better job soon after. He said the yearly purges have just intensified over the past... —  read more 

Greetings, As many of you know, Cengage Unlimited has been an unmitigated success and has transformed the lives of students all over the globe. The EdTech segment has been attracting attention. Everyone from high-profile investors to social media... —  read more 

We had a DM put Apple trackers in reps cars because she was mentally ill. We all knew she was doing this but I’m curious if any one else knows any other DMs who were also engaged in spying ?

Any word on Gale?

I’m so sad I was laid off. I just heard they secured Ron Desantis as the keynote speaker!

Since many people are leaving already, it is hard for me to believe that there will be more cuts soon. However, considering that there are more and more rumors about the additional cuts that will follow, I wonder if anyone has any insights what the... —  read more 

Vote using the letter below. A - It's good to hear your voice! B- You really need to get your people on the train C- One word - "Re--rded"

Of you were impacted by the latest reorg

Greetings, Looking at Cengage's latest earnings (lol!) report, the company appears insolvent. Total liabilities seem to outweigh assets by a little over 300M. What I find most concerning is that Cengage is heavily leveraged. The prime rate and... —  read more

Wondering what every one thinks about Florida standards and text books in schools. Some want to take a "moral" "stand" and not follow the anti-WOKE agenda. Others think books should not have offensive materials to sell them. Who is right?

Hey, does that place even exist anymore?

Why did they let Cengage become a ha--m for ‘them’ ?

CEOs LinkedIn post are the absolute most tone deaf garbage I've seen. A decade or more of raises that don't keep up with cost of living, but hey, the CEO says if you're feeling burnt out, take a trip to Italy!

Post all rush-related complaints here

Higher ed revenue down 9% Negative cash flow $38.9 million dollar loss Full stop

My DM told me they would never cut inside sales and we are completely safe. I think my DM drinks too much but everyone hit last year so I think he is right. What are the chances? We are in a recession right now and that is a fact

A lot of us at Cengage are worried about upcoming reorganizations and layoffs but you should realize that you need not worry, you need not fret because this is the perfect time to hone your skills in the Cengage-Kitchen this summer. I know most of... —  read more 

https://www.statista.com/statistics/801187/cengage-net-income-quarterly/ Wow, how does the business even stay afloat at this point?

This time QA got nailed. Literally torpedoed your online learning cash cows because you want to save a few dollars laying off the already under payed QA roles. Surprised, but glad ill be finding a job that doesnt F**k their employees

This happens with all companies where leadership does not have a strong vision and a good plan for the future. Still, at one time I couldn't even think that the company would become what it is today. Rock bottom doesn't seem far away anymore, does... —  read more 

On the one hand, I am very anxious when I think of layoffs, because I am not very prepared in case I lose my job. On the other hand, I'm so tired of this company, the amount of work I do and the atmosphere in general that I even think layoff would... —  read more 

There are rumors circulating of cuts to the inside sales positions in Northern Kentucky. Does anyone know if this is true? What should I do? The timing is not great.

They manage through intimidation and that seems to be the only thing they know how to do. A bunch of good-for-nothing incompetent as-----s who try to hide their lack of knowledge by taking credit for other people's work and threatening anybody who... —  read more 

There seems to be a never-ending line of reorganizations with each one achieving even less than the previous one. I'd like to know why are they necessary? What's their ultimate goal? Why can't we go a full year without either a company-wide or a... —  read more
