Employees were sold down the river.
Why keep the facts to yourselves?
Speak up! What's left to lose?
Quit the kool aid crap, wake up and become something more than a snivelling s----up of vague promises and people dumber than sh--.
Say it. Be free. Consider it the first step in creating a new life for you and everyone you care about.
Well said.
Worked in admissions. It was a propaganda mill and I believed I was helping people for a long time but once I realized I wasn't I couldn't get out fast enough. The sick mind games played in admissions to get people to recruit unqualified candidates were beyond unethical. The leadership knew the stats and made every effort to hide the truth from the government and their own employees. They treated their employees like garbage, conned students, leached every cent they could out of federal aid. Why are they walking free? And the proposed CEO coming in ran exactly the same game at Grand Canyon U. This just reeks of more fancy footwork to defraud the federal government and US taxpayers and put even more unsuspecting students into a lifetime of debt peonage. Gross.
The days of rallying anyone are over. The company is a shell of its former self. 25% of the staff from just 5 years ago. Maybe Dream Center will infuse new energy and nonprofit money, maybe it will just close the Art Institutes down. At least the EDMC Board will go, the last of the vultures that brought the company to its knees. But the slow death was inevitable, there was no future without a deal out of this mess.
You know something? I can't believe that of the tens of thousands of EDMC employees, no one has anything to add to the conversation about the business being sold or future employment
Maybe just maybe this cult-like quiescence is just what The Center is looking for.
Or maybe it's hunker down, stay under the
radar and don't make a sound and they'll let us live.
At this point it's long past making a profit.
Keeping the lights on and paying the employees you can't get rid of with a crow bar is the main focus until the deal does or does not close.
As far as the future is concerned floating loans to a new subset of the wretched of the Earth will be the new goal of the lovely Dream Center goonies.
Are teachers being let go at U of Phoenix. I can't imagine the Art Institute staying open for teach outs. The profit isn't there.
The same group bought U. Phoenix and are letting people go without a severance package according to posts on the U. Phoenix site on The Layoff. I know those of you who remain are stuck, literally and figuratively, but you really need to become active in forming an exit strategy.
It is over. All there is left to do is to get a job somewhere else as soon as possible or go on unemployment.
What?
