When did Goldman Sachs Bail Out of EDMC?
Last year Goldman Sachs owned 43% of EDMC. In fact, several people in the know blame Goldman for the EDMC crash. So when did GS sell their interest in EDMC? I'm guessing that it must have been after their stock was deemed next to worthless--after KKR... — read more

What's worth more??
The paper that EDMC stock is printed on, or the paper their degrees are printed on?? To me it's an argument over who is uglier!
Everything, good or bad, rolls down hill. **Upper Management (VPs and Directors) Needs to Change!**
There is a HUGE disconnect between upper management and their frontline employees. They’ve lost touch with reality. They continue to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results. The majority of their time is spent in their... — read more

Worst Employees?
Who are the worst employees at EDMC?
How worried should I be?
I'm fairly new here, I thought training was fantastic but from day 1 on the floor much of it went out the window. I'll dial hundreds of times per day and other colleagues of mine sit and wait for warm calls and dial less than 50 times a day... Is... — read more

25% disapproval rating?
Jim Hobby told the center that recent survey information shows that only 25% of people are looking for jobs outside the company. It must be because the other 75% are overpaid unqualified leaders. I've always said we have way too many douchebag... — read more
Anything?
Any news from those smiling and dialing?
Why isn't anyone talking about KKR
KKR essentially took control of all EDMC assets last year. So why is no one here talking about KKR and their role in for-profit colleges? For example, KKR holds a signicant portion of Laureate Education, the largest US-based for-profit higher... — read more

What SUO PIT AM's will, would or should jump ship for AUO openings?
2 MGR jobs got posted for AUO PGH. SUO employees are notorious and have a reputation for fleeing to AUO. AUO has 5 or 6 former SUO reps and AM's working as managers. Who do you think will or should abandon the Hamburglers ship? Only a few that I have... — read more

No more layoffs! Everyone is safe!
This is the week!!!!
