Looks like more cost cutting is in store. https://seekingalpha.com/news/3617406-universal-technical-institute-stumbles-in-trade-argus-downgrades-to-hold

I see some of the locations have about a 50% return rate. Ours is a ghost town. Seems like management is busy rearranging the chairs on the Titanic. How is your location doing?

Well, it was good while it lasted. UTI has furloughed a ton of people. These jobs will not come back. It was good they kept a bunch around while this whole thing olayed out but the end for them is here. Sorry folks.

Out with the old. https://seekingalpha.com/pr/17825191-universal-technical-institute-announces-change-to-board-of-directors

"Seems like we should all be grateful we have jobs unlike so many who are losing them during this time. We won’t have a school (jobs!) if we don’t have revenue. Instead of whining, help! It’s for the students, not the VPs. If you hate your job - or... —  read more

I’m sure all of UTI’s Vice Presidents, Campus Presidents, and Directors are at work filming their subject matter expertise today.

Well, well, well. Looks like someone went on the UTI Wikipedia page and deleted the controversial history of UTI. The "Lawsuits, investigations, and sanctions" section was taken out on May 10 2019. I wonder if the person who deleted is a UTI employee... —  read more 

It's interesting how UTI is not taking the recommended steps to have employees work from home or closing any campuses. Does that mean they do not value the health and well being of their staff and/or students?

Is Kim’s resignation a good or bad thing?

I'm sorry for all those unfortunate people that have been let go. It's going to be okay, I went through UTIs layoff a few years ago and made it just fine. I doubt the people who got let go would post here during their severance payout. When I... —  read more 

hearing a few people let go across the company mostly jobs eliminated and to be picked up by someone else doing double or even triple duty.

Now that we are aware of the changes in the severance packages, are the layoffs Thursday or Friday!?!
