Thread regarding Corinthian Colleges Inc. layoffs

35524 - Good point. That said, the execs have had the jump on employees from day one. Everyone should be angry as hell and organize. If we think for one minute that their pay cuts are close to comparable to those in the executive offices. Your mistaken. One week for them is a drop in the bucket.

They knew during the call that the info was already on here. During the call. And still called it a troll. Truth is, it wasn't a troll. It was an employee pissed off that these people are forcing us to suck it up more than them.

The execs and their families aren't the ones suffering with the cuts. It's everyone below them and their families. The poster got it right. Everyone should consider organzing and make this real. Time to get ahead of the execs and give them something else to consider. Might even start with Fitzgerald and all of the visitors who are looking to buy Corinthians campuses.

Disturbing and seemingly hopeless, yes. But no one ever wins doing nothing. While payroll is the biggest chunk. They can stop paying for advertising and take great pay cuts themselves just as examples. Negotiate with the monitor to ensure employees are getting paid.

Just examples of other things to do. Even though someone might say, "we did negotiate". I would say, how hard!

Harris is a politician trying to make a name for herself. She wouldn't care if all employees needed grub stubs. As long as she could profit by it in some way

Pick your week… What's it going to be… Which week would you like to take off with no pay? Next week? Or the week after that?

Since everyone is being forced to leave work and not get paid that is like a lockout. This beats us to the strike.

It is totally real.

What a bunch of scum bags. CCi ass f***s!! We at Heald never wanted to be purchased by you and are sick of carrying you criminal assess.

Is this for real? I haven't gotten an email about it.

I haven't heard anything either.

So does this effect admissions and finance or no?? They haven't told us anything yet. Did you hear this at campus level?

50% pay cut, don't drop any students, and don't forget don't shred any documents. Priceless

It applies to anyone on the campus not currently teaching a course. That means student finance, admissions, receptionist, program chairs who do not teach, deans, presidents, career services and registrars. What's next.... what happens if you refuse? I agree a strike may be a good idea.

In other words, you can either work 2 weeks for 1 week of pay, or you can work 1 week for 1 week of pay, at 90% of course.

Just found out - the "directors and above" have the choice of 50% pay cut for 2 weeks or one full week without pay.

Hahaha, threats by management again. This is the ongoing saga of Corinthian College. Threats to make you comply. Doesn't necessarily mean following company protocols but management made up rules and regulations. That's the way we do it in Long Beach Wyotech! Threaten until they comply!

Who cares, you all are F***ED!!!!!

35464 - Actually, it comes down to math. A week off is 50% cut for the period of one week. Or, its a 50% cut in two weeks of pay while working those two weeks. It only applies to the Directors and above.

According to the call, they are taking the 50% as well, but over two weeks rather than taking a one week furlough. They should just cut their pay to minimum wage until the financial issues are resolved if they are really that concerned. Rather than dump it all on others in the downline.

Nice to know that execs want to scare us from any action at all. And even threaten a termination. Wonder. How much do you make now Mr. Exec?

Lets face the facts. No. 1... Not OP...

No 2... You have already been cut jobs and handing out pink slips without severance.

No 3.... You clearly don't like someone suggesting that your pay be cut to minimum wage.

You are so full of Sh*t.

Here is an idiot response "The alternative is mass layoffs (which are likely coming anyway). Is that what you would prefer, OP?" If they are coming anyway, why cut peoples pay? Why not take responsibility and place on the shoulders of those who created the messed to begin with?

You need to have your head examined. If you think for one second that people will continue to take the BS being shoveled by the exec offices who are still making considerably more than those who are being forced to take furloughs. Rather than you offering up solutions, you give a threat...

Dumbas*

35461- Also if what the original email is purported to say is true, that's a CHOICE between 50% and a week off. Who in their right mind would choose a permanent 50% pay cut over one week off? We'll know for sure the details later, but I'm sure that all of this will also come with the layoff of adjuncts and the dumping of any leftover work onto already over-worked full-time faculty.

This is silly on so many levels. For most companies, payroll is the highest - or one of the highest - expenses. When things are tough, payroll reductions are common - almost mandatory. The alternative is mass layoffs (which are likely coming anyway). Is that what you would prefer, OP? In terms of a "strike", go ahead. You and the other person at your campus who strike will be terminated immediately, reducing payroll costs and helping those of us who stay and work. The company is taking its last, gasping breaths. OP - please consider an adjustment in your medication to reduce the hallucinations.

Forget the revolt. Just walk off the job and give the execs something to think about. Not everyone can afford this furlough. Not like they can. They already took 10% from directors and up. No its only 50% for the execs? No matter how you look at. Even with the one week off with out pay. Its 50% of the pay on top of the 10% currently cut.

There is more to come and we all know it. Revolt or not. Time for a strike and force the execs to do more on their end without cutting into employees. Or they should just get the hell out!

5455, agreed. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Nevermind, just saw it on another thread. Doesn't apply to me.

Unfortunately this is not like the period of Cesar Chavez, where revolting resulted in higher pay. Revolting at CCi will only result in lower pay.

I heard about the 10% cut a long time ago...who is getting a 50% cut to their pay? Or are you talking about adjuncts?
