Thread regarding Pearson PLC layoffs

K12 Reorg

What does everyone realistically think is going to happen with K-12 after this reorg? At this point, layoffs feel inevitable. Leaders are leaving left and right, morale is tanking, and employees are being left to wonder whether they'll even have jobs. Meanwhile, leadership seems to keep making sweeping decisions without fully considering the fallout for the people actually keeping this company running. The lack of transparency is only making things worse. People are frustrated, exhausted, and genuinely scared for their livelihoods.

Is there actually a plan here, or are we watching things unravel in real time? Curious what everyone thinks comes next.

Pearson already sold off its k12 business and has now paid $$$ to add new k12 units - first bringing back ccr then following up with the acquisition of edl. Sweeping those two under the SA umbrella wont create enough hype to sell k12 again. Pretty sure there will be headcount reduction in this new alignment, but not convinced this unit will be sold.

@OP I have no clue, but I feel like Omar doesn't care about K12 even though we've consistently earned the most for the company...I wouldn't be surprised if that business line eventually gets sold off. The changes they've made in K12 over the past 1-1.5 years do not make sense because the ones making the decisions don't have the background to understand what is needed.
