Thread regarding Education Management Corporation layoffs

How I feel about this situation goes way beyond being a disgruntled employee.

I am part of a scam. Every day I feel like I'm ruining people's lives. Not just the students lives, but parents that just wanted their kids to get an education. Financially ruined by age 20. Nice. I'll miss the students and my coworkers. Good people. I wish the best for them and hope they find better jobs and schools elsewhere. I never want to work for a for profit again. I hope the whole industry goes down in flames.

If you really feel this way, do something about it. Sitting on the sidelines and staying silent is just as bad as being an active employee. Where are the people who have the courage, conviction and resolve to change this system? If all you have is a voice let it be heard. Stop the wrong, make a difference, make a stand.

LOL who says I'm still there?! I still feel for those people who went to AI and didn't know better.

You work for corporate or what? If so? You are BS.

If you are still there then you are part of it. Quit, or quit bitching and don't use the I'm looking for work...I call the BS card.

Complicit. But not complacent.

Many of us are looking for other opportunities as well as telling other interested parties, as noted in a previous comment.

Let's just say I'm getting to work when I get there. No rush. It's a beautiful morning here and I'm enjoying it.
