Moving on - 6/20/2017

I was laid off today and this is my two cents on the situation... Today represents the first day of my new work life. I have been making contacts and actually found a couple of things in the education industry. It is going to be tough until the enrollment picks up, but it will not be impossible.

If I could give some advice to those of you that stayed. The first would be to work hard, and make your job count, for real. Be the first to take on new responsibilities, the first one to try new things. The second would be to stay off these Web Sites such is this one, and not get involved with rumors. You made it through this layoff, so good for you (for now). If you stick around these Web Sites it just makes you cynical.

I wish you all the best and good luck on your job hunt, and for those that stayed keep the working hard. Make every day you come to work count, because it can end in a blink of the eye.

Godspeed!

Spoken like a real loan mill cry baby.

LOL! Work hard? Do you really think AI cares how hard you work? I worked my a-- off of them for 10 years and always had outstanding reviews in everything I did for them. In fact, before I found out I was fired today, I gave a report at one meeting and then facilitated another meeting (the minutes/summary of which AI won't be getting from me before my final day on June 30th). They don't care how hard you work. Here's my advice if you are still employed by them, be job hunting now! Do not wait until this happens to you. Find a way out and quit, because when it comes down to it, no matter how much of your time, energy, blood, and sweat you pour into EDMC, in the end none of it will matter and you also will get 10 days notice before you are reduced to an adjunct position or nothing at all. Get the paycheck while you can; it's all the place is worth. ...but don't wait to set up your back-up plan or you'll be in a world of pain when you get that call you never expected because you worked so hard.

My advice. Lose the EDMC citation on the CV.

I know who posted this.

@txq - not really, it's a sincere and reasonable post. stop hating.
