Tampa morale is so low that they have to have someone pushing around an ice cream cart for $60K plus WHY ??????? There is a high call volume of incoming calls rather than sitting back plugged in with headphones, reading the latest layoff.com posting... — read more
Can someone answer
WTF is so urgent and important about having posted some "constitution day" announcement in the online classes? I'm as patriotic as the next person, but seriously???
What Has Changed?
I haven't been with the company long, but am a little surprised to see all the expressed surprise over CCi's legal woes. Let's get this straight: you work for a "college" without an entrance exam or application fee who feeds on the down-trodden while... — read more
Your Regional and Divisional VP's
I hear the travel restriction for all regional and divisional brass has been lifted and they're being urged to travel back to the campuses. I may be alone here, but seeing the useless VP's walk the halls attending conference calls from one of our... — read more
401K WILL IT BE THERE WHEN CORINTHIAN LEAVES
Just found out today that I am not able to roll over my 401K from Everest to another qualified IRA plan with another company. Questioned Prudential when the rules changed and instructed to contact my company. Evidently Everest has changed the... — read more
What I REALLY want to know
Is who the hell is still enrolling students after the bomb dropped yesterday? Who can still, in good conscience, enroll someone into a CCI program? If you are a enrollment rep, and STILL hustling the leads, you are a sincere POS.
Copying text book for us.
My teacher said textbooks are not in yet so she made copies with us class. My friend tell me to come here and ask. This is horrible site. Is this true.
Eligibility for Loan Discharge - Closed School
from studentaid.gov Will I be eligible for a closed school loan discharge? You may be eligible for a 100% discharge of Direct Loans, Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program loans, or Federal Perkins Loans you received to attend the Corinthian... — read more
Constitution day video
Has anyone else been unable to play the online mandatory video? Managers are telling instructors to just "Skip it". What say you?
Ya 'll still need volunteers dis Saturday?
Man, Damn Jimbo suspended me fo da 1st half and told me I Gotta pay fo my own crab legs after I beat dem Tigers in da 2nd half. I need some of dem OT hours and a stipend check fo my pale grant so I can my grub on

I seriously hope everyone is trying to find a better job right now! Do you all really think Jack gives a damn about us?! First he demands a pay cut for management (himself and his team excluded, I bet)! Furlough, stupid hours being changed for what?!... — read more
How the heck does a multi-million dollar lawsuit "not prevent" moving forward with the sale?
I'm not a corporate financial expert by any means...but I'm also not a freaking moron.
My short rant
Not sure if this was mentioned but let's ponder about this furlough deal. I for one will enjoy my week off. The time off will help me unplug from the CCI chaos. Executives think I will not enjoy my time away? But this is my view on this forced... — read more
We need support!
We need help! We have no president and now no security. Yesterday there was a fight between 2 students and the only person to break it up was our passed President who was here helping. If he wasn't here, we would been in trouble.
What will happen when Corinthian College closes?
A student here - do you know what will happen when Corinthian College closes?
Now it's obvious
Jacks email saying that this new federal lawsuit for 500+ million does not effect the company moving forward nor the sale is proof he is full of crap. Now it's obvious he is not being honest to all employees. What moron would believe this lie?
Bankruptcy Imminent? Thoughts from the financial DB (discussion board).
CCI is out of money, and now its ability to recruit and re-enroll students has been severely impacted as student financing is a new problem. Revenues are going to drop precipitously as a result of the CFPB lawsuit and inevitable near term regulatory... — read more
What are you doing right now? Unpaid day off thread
So what are you doing right now with your non voluntary unpaid furlough time? I'm enjoying some "Walking Dead" on Netflix (In addition to applying for jobs obviously) what else?!

Redevelopment of Courses for 6 Week Format
Emails are being sent out about redeveloping some courses for 6 week format (at least for ECPO). Instructors, what are your thoughts on this?
Reporters suggest that CCi is "profiting for the degrees," and yet there is no money for payroll.
Maybe the most interesting part is the claim that if Republicans take control of the Senate, then regulations could be backed off, and the industry could "pop." http://finance.yahoo.com/video/corinthian-colleges-sued-cfpb-140842280.html
Anyone else apparently required to work during your furlough?
So we were instructed to do NO work during furlough, even checking emails is supposedly off limits. So why have I already gotten two calls today to "fill me in" on student situations I've been involved in. So I can be bothered during my furlough and... — read more
Parthenon
Are we still having it or what!
This is Jack Massimino
50% of you read my email. Where is everyone? Did I said furlough? I meant to say food low! We all need to watch what we eat. Until the next time. News about the sale by November.
So Jack,
I promise to print without toner, not give exams and assignments, and, and...I promise to sign up all living and dead relatives (who can be charged more) to help with the crazy amount of money you apparently owe. Because of your comforting words, I... — read more

Are Richard and Martha still looking good?
Just an observation
But why doesn't CCI executive management have their pictures on the CCI website? http://investors.cci.edu/management.cfm I looked at the sites for GCU, Apollo, and EDMC and when you click on their names, you get a picture. I guess some people don't... — read more

Unemployment Compensation
When an employee works from home for Everest Online, what state do you get unemployment from? California or Florida?
What I don't see here is anyone disputing the facts of the lawsuit
So, given that CCI is involved in high interest shark loans, aggressive collections of said loans, making up figures from nothing regarding placement...the fact that nobody on the board questions any of these allegations: Why do you still work there?... — read more
And so many of you were hoping a sale would let you keep your job

Again, Outreach has NOTHING to do with FA if you are an instructor.
I know nothing about student FA status or anything personal about them beyond what they mention in class. There is criteria for instructors to follow. Outreach is a direct response to student participation IN THE CLASSROOM. I don't have access to... — read more
Is Outreach further deceit and harassment of CCi students? Who directs your outreach efforts? Who monitors your outreach activity?
Look at the org chart. Follow the incoming Federal $$$$$. Who gives you the list of students for the daily outreach firedrill? How many of the students on this list have been contacted several times the same day by someone else trying to get their... — read more
