Topics regarding layoffs at Corinthian Colleges Inc.

I bet Durbin could meet this standard!

"So when Corinthian advertises on its website, www.mycareercounts.org/outcomes, “In 2012, over 69 percent of our 38,721 graduates found careers in their field of study,” this really meant that 69 percent of Corinthian graduates found a job that... — read more

Why are people on this boards such jerks?

I don't come here often. There isn't a post that doesn't have some rude, insensitive comment. I get we are in a highly emotional situation, but pushing everyone off the board by being mean seems counter productive. At any rate, Like many other... — read more

Even if CCI schools sell, there's no guarantee of jobs for current employees. And looking at wages posted earlier,

It probably won't be at current salaries. Even if it sells, they could still fail. So many students have left. If it is ECMC, they have to build a college from scratch from the ruins of CCI. I think it's not smart to hang your hats on nothing. A sale... — read more

Champagne at Heald

Someone told me they were talking to someone in IT at Heald, and the Heald guy said they had been told that the Heald sale had been confirmed to them and that they celebrated with Champagne. Doesn't sound credible that they would be told ahead of the... — read more

Acquiring new lines of business

I've been trying to wrap my head around the ECMC rumors, and until recently had assumed that if they were involved, they were probably just purchasing some of our old debt at pennies on the dollar. Looking over their website, though, they seem to be... — read more

Jerks and bully employees are no better than the trolls

Like others who've tried to share info and have been bullied and called names, I'm out. You jerks are on your own. No wonder nobody comes here anymore. Figure it out for yourselves. Sorry you're mean bullies. I'm sorry for you. NOT!

Did you see any justice here with furloughs and 50% cuts?

Is Jack and the key execs taking responsibility? They tell everyone to take a week of or 50% pay cut. Hurts us. Cut deep at the wrong time of the month. Their 3 check reasoning doesn't even calculate right. It is not a genuine 3 check month. Its no... — read more

Seriously, stop reading this board.

Spend time with your family, read a good book, watch some TV. Take your mind off work because very few know what is going on. I was privy to some information on Friday that made me a bit upset and I know for a FACT that the sale isn't happening in 2... — read more

No News is NOT Good News

All we can do is either wait for our fate or create our own. The choice is yours. For me, the only positive of a campus sale could possibly offer a sigh of relief. I don't want to be in a situation that can only offer a sigh of relief. So instead... — read more

How can anyone have anything except contempt for those still working for CCI let alone compassion? I spoke with some of my former colleagues

and asked them how they, in all good conscience, could still work for CCI and not inform their students of the company's demise. Their answer was that although they felt "conflicted" they needed the money. No one can feel sorry for you when you have... — read more
