By now you should understand that 2U is a facade of its former existence. Your boss no longer cares about mission statements and goals because her boss no longer cares about mission statements and goals. Every U.S. based employee is ticking their... — read more
Isn't anyone going to blow the whistle on Chip?
Doesn't anyone think they have an obligation to stop Chip and his next scam?
Voluntary layoff
It would be great if we could voluntarily request a layoff with severance, allowing the company to manage staffing more effectively and potentially avoid more drastic layoffs down the line!
Market cap 500k
This is an insanely small market cap what happens next?? Who knows
The business can't promote...
Just learned about two promotions at the director level in our org while a good number of us got passed over for two cycles because the business couldnt manage it. For everyone complaining that DEI ruined 2U, take a look at WHO is getting promoted... — read more
"Harvard and MIT's $800M Mistake: The Triple Failure of 2U, edX, and Axim Collaborative"
https://www.classcentral.com/report/2u-edx-bankruptcy/ Not sure what is going on at Axim -- maybe they are doing more than this reporter knows about. Given their relative silence, though, they are exposed to reporting like this. On all other... — read more
Miss me?
You all forgot about the basic principle of “win, win, win”. So now it’s just me who wins.
New HQ decision coming soon
There will be announcement coming soon about the HQ. 2U is just a husk of a company. This is based on what current and former members of the c suite tell me.
Just thinking 🤷♀️
LAY low on Tuesday and take any OFFers to relax. It might be a good time to recharge before things start shifting.
Another round of layoffs
Anyone have any info on this?
Calm before another storm??
It is VERY quiet in here…..
Houston we have a….
Outside looking in…. Are other pages/companies this bad? Is 2u really this bad?? OMG…. I understand some annoyances in corporate America but have never seen so much complaining before
How are directors,VP and above measured.
Would be very curious to see how this population of employees is measured on their success given, they are nothing more than messengers who miss communicate Or over communicate, but don’t really drive results in regards to bottom line performance... — read more

What happens to all the programs if 2U-edX folds?
What happens to all the programs if 2U-edX folds?
It’s Simple
Across all levels of the company. Introduce a hard and fast- you are getting it done or you or not rule. Too many AC are calling 20-30 people by noon and done for the day. Look at director percentages and outcomes. MS and ADH are top... — read more
This place really needs a major overhaul
But I’m not waiting to see them go through with it, if they ever will. Piecemeal layoffs with no brains involved and cost-cutting with no strategy have really started grating on my nerves. It’s like we’ve been standing still for too long waiting for... — read more
Changing of the Old Tril-OG-y Guard
Change is hard. However, what is worse is changing too late and throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I was with 2U for 5+ years from the Trilogy acquisition like many of you reading this. While hired by Trilogy, I had a decent starting salary... — read more
The reality is that leadership is so out of their depth
Look, I'm empathetic because I was there, but I also don't know why people act surprised. Bootcamps have been on a downward trend for years, and leadership hasn't done anything to correct the course, including the CFO of 5 years who went along for... — read more
So we are having layoffs this week?
And from what I see and hear, it’s happening in more than one place.
Bye bye 2u.
2u, it's been real, real terrible Shame on all the lying leadership, you will have your turn. You signed your souls over to the devil whenever you accepted this position and you know it. 2u has seen it's day. If you believe everything will be ok... — read more
Should we take this a little further ?
I wasnt very serious but, since this is my second time attempting to post this I think it might be a good idea. Maybe some 2u employees that have access to proprietary info could "accidentaly" leak it to the dark web, so that everyone can see the... — read more
Bootcamp ACs getting laid off
As a Senior admissions advisor (been here since the old Trilogy days) I have loved this job. I woke up to an email and an invitation to a meeting with HR. Yes I am getting laid off today. What do I need to know before I go into this meeting? Many of... — read more
Something happening this week?

Chapter 11 documents and severance
Anyone receive these docs in the mail? Not sure if I received bc I was a stockholder (though sold all when news of bankruptcy came out) or bc I am receiving bi weekly severance checks through November (or supposed to anyway). Curious if anyone is... — read more
2U and its partners in crime
Many of those elite brand certificate programs were propped up by SLM private student loans. When the folks who took these courses do not get good jobs, some end up struggling to pay their loans. Some eventually default. As a hedge for SLM, most of... — read more

False claims are going to bury 2U
2U cannot erase their promotional literature and their statements. Chip and Paul are lucky if they don't get fined and banned by the SEC. We have seen this show play out a number of times: Corinthian Colleges, ITT Tech, Education Management... — read more
Was twou officially delisted?
The ticker seems to indicate it stopped being traded. Google shows it just falling off, CNBC reports an error when you search for the ticker symbol. Has the end come?
If it could happen to ITT Tech, why not 2U?
"Modany and Fitzpatrick did not admit nor deny the SEC's allegations as a part of the settlements. Both men were charged in 2015 for allegedly concealing ITT's weak financial performance. The company ceased operations in... — read more

How do you stay motivated at work while going through Chapter 11??
I want to stay motivated at work, however, I find myself unmotivated and depressed. I know this is a “prepackaged Chapter 11” however still have a gut feeling there will be layoffs and cut backs once the 3 new owners come on board. They might have... — read more
So did you have to pay back your tuition?
Alright folks, this has come up several times. Has anyone left voluntarily (not laid off) under their tuition benefit contract term period and had to pay back their tuition?
Question for recent resigners
Did they honor your given notice or terminate early?
I wonder how this will play out
Not that I will linger around to see. I’m not that curious. I lined up another job. I started looking a while ago. It’s not the greatest job market out there, but there are still some fine possibilities. Just be persistent, and with a bit of luck you... — read more
