@ha yes i need to screenshot this , i will make sure my days look just like this. Ha!
All while may salary is $52,000 and as long as my 2020 Toyota Corrolla doesn’t break down on me.. Maybe i should drive our 2010 pick up truck which has 120,000 miles on it. only it doesn’t have a tailgate on it and my cengage swag might blow out on the highway. If faculty ask, i will just have to tell them the truth , Cengage is outpacing the competition, my bank account and pickup truck is proof!
@gh I predict that No one will ask any real questions! It will all be RAH RAH!!! After last first friday everyone has learned to just shut up, go quiet, don't challenge, mark your tasks in salesforce, Fill out spreadsheets.
Back to school will look like:
wake up, get in car at 9am, click the concur mileage app start your journey to campus , end the concur mileage app when you arrive to campus, plan to see 10 to 15 instructors, ask the faculty the most basic questions in each call, log each call into salesforce, grab lunch and be sure to expense it, see 6 professors after lunch, log these calls into Salesforce and ALWAYS REMEBER TO CREATE NEW FAKE TASKS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. Get in car at 2:30 or 3pm ;click the Concur Mileage app start journey home, Click end Concur mileage APP. DO NOT Look at Phone or Turn on computer until the next morning. Repeat! 3 days a week or until they mandate 4 days a week.
Should I take Monday and Friday office days? Or Thursday and Friday's?
My manager apologized to me because they realized they sounded like the Ge----o, a crazed person micromanaging their own micromanaging behavior. Don't get mad at your Manager, because their managers are micromanaging them. Let's just get to the IPO so that new leadership can be appointed and APPOLLO can be a distant memory.
At least they are doing it on the First Friday of the month, ( given we were closed last Friday) That's an improvement by management. Maybe they will have a huge announcement and talk about the research and all the money spent. Going forward Cengage will be rebranded in all lower case letters... cengage
Earth shattering, JE-Apple guy , and MH. Thanks for your creativity and leadership.
yes, I predict that all of the posts on here about the last First Friday have been read my management numerous times and MH will try to show that he and KT in HR are both in alignment. They have been practicing on how to convince us that everything is going as planned.
I bet they won't mention the elephant in the room (THE IPO).
Just more BS from MH is my prediction. What's your prediction.
Fear and loathing, along with the usual fictions
@ck imagine defending a company who would toss you out in a heartbeat if it made them a cent more. Embarrassing.
@ck there twice my friend, and I do enjoy my new gig that pays me what I am worth.
@cc and that's probably why you aren't there in 2026 - so sad. Enjoying your unemployment benefits?
The LinkedIn campaign with COE recipients in the Caymans is a joke.
I went in 2025 and it was a joke with phony Barbwire and Ilk.
Disgusting people and not a vacation.
Just more stories to tell to the investors.
@OP yes - complete shutdown of the company so that everyone can be unemployed. Party on!
