Thread regarding Education Management Corporation layoffs

I agree with Anonymous31739. It's not hating if the facts back up the statements. Corporate culture and management at EDMC is crooked. How many videos like this do you have to see? There are literately dozens of them. http://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local-news/i-team-investigates/i-team-110-for-profit-colleges-accused-of-lying-defrauding-taxpayers

It is not hating. If someone does not have enough intelligence to read the news, see what is going on around them, and not act upon it, they deserve what happens to them!

If my parents told me not to touch a hot stove, a doctor who treated my burns told me not to touch the hot stove, all independant research told me not to touch the hot stove, and yet I still touch the hot stove anyway, I deserve to get my hands burned off.

Those who cannot see the collapse of EDMC and the industry as a whole, clearly needs to keep touching the stove.

For those who still continue to defend the angelic EDMC, clearly haven't been burned enough yet, or they are just f***ing blind and stupid.

To the student facing employees, please know that you are simple chess pawns of the executives larger game. As soon as they lose the need for you and your services, you too will become another statistic in the growing pile of EDMC alunmi. As long as you are okay with being used, abused, and eventually being dismissed, "hang in there".

C'mon people! WAKE UP! A company doesn't just churn and burn 20,000 people in the City of Pittsburgh out of nowhere.

TRUTH - the truth be told, you sound just as childish as the person you are trying to call out. Calling someone names, threatening violence? How old are you 5? Were you a class bully? I hope you are not employed there at EDMC using that kind of language with that elitist attitude. HR would have a field day if you had the balls to talk like this in person.

All peopled mentioned have a degree.

I am not the one who posted that about the top brass, but why is it wrong to talk about upper management? This is America, not Russia. We have a right to free speech even if you dont like what someones says. He has a point, why is someone at the very top running a school not have a college degree? There is no excuse for that, in fact, EDMC will even pay for it. Don't they require most instructors to have a Masters Degree? Shouldn't EDMC management lead by example?

Matter of fact, it's just terrible to talk about all those people. Do you even know any of them?

Not right!

Reading these posts, there seems to be no love between Management and former employees. I wonder why that is? Hmmmm.

Wow, management is to big behind a computer screen. Shouldn't you be figuring out how to keep the Eedsel of Education EDMC running?

Shed West let's fight. I will meet you at your moms house.

Here's a thought, what if EDMC got the majority of its money from the students, or successful alumni instead of the Government like most real colleges do. Oh, wait, never mind, forgot the business plan was entirely based on defrauding the government which is where 90% of its income actually comes from.

Do nothing lazy Management apparently has enough time during working hours to cruse forums calling people haters who dont paint a rosy picture of a failing corporation. Make no mistake about it, its failing. Not hate, just fact.

Read the facts. The company didn't have any other options. It was either this, or close down since the DOE would have shut off their pipeline of funds. Not hating, just stating facts.

Ed West needs to stop posting on these boards, hater!

EDMC Management can leave, this forum is for people being laid off not EDMC Management to trying to spin the failure of a company as if its the next Apple. Why are you here? Shouldnt you be working to pay off that billion dollar loan?

Haters gonna hate. Lovers gonna love. I don't even want non of the above. I wanna piss on you. Yes I do. I wanna do do do.

Amen!
