Thread regarding Education Management Corporation layoffs

SUO PGH planting the seeds for a RIF

Last night I saw my AM scrambling for data on compliance gaps in the past year. What an idiot! She was openly asking AR's and myself the dates and levels of our gaps. Pretty sure it started his way back in 2010 when we cut our staff by 1/3. Hearing it will happen end of March. Very confusing considering training classes are full right now. Looks like some matrix salaries are getting whacked!

Pregnancy is considered a sickness like broken leg cancer etc. So, they can lay you off regardless. NO they cannot make an exception to continue medical coverage, that is discrimination. You can elect COBRA...so it someone still had coverage after being laid off and they were pregnant, it is because they opted to take COBRA.

Heartless worry less about me and calling people peons and worry more about your job. Next set of RIFs you are going to be on the list.

GK, I really wish you weren't such a vagina hiding behind a fake name. I'd like to personally thank you for listening to the show. Stay tuned though, plans are in the works for a return to the air waves. In the mean time, dust off my picture on your desk and make it a great day! Cheers

Heartless, maybe you should have a radio show back because you make me laugh at how pathetic you are. 1) you stated you made $81k 2) I'm not a peon on the phone so you don't have to worry about that and 3) you can't fire me, get me fired, nothing so don't even try. If you keep being a pathetic loser on here I will have your boss punch you in the face.

And CC, you left your panties in my office ;)

Yes, at 81K, you will be gone. Especially since you are spending your time here rather than dialing. kinkani, you will also be gone. You are a terd in the toilet of life. Don't talk like you know what you are talking about. You don't know what I make, you don't know what I do. Shut up and dial you peon before I get my boss to punch you in the face. It's after 6, I have AR's to sneak off and bang.

73338 yes you can. When I was there my department laid off a few pregnant employees. All threatened to sue so they extended their medical benefits until after their due date

Registration has gone to the remote registrar. On campus registrars are being rif'd. EP's too are being rif'd. No need once the online app process is finally a smooth operation. Very soon for that. Paper apps will not be processed in the future. second reason is all paperwork will be housed electronically. No files, less office space required. BTDT seen it elsewhere.

Wait! Campus registrars may get let go? Don't they need a registrar? Good thing I am already interviewing for jobs! I was smart enough to start looking before the job market gets flooded with hundreds of EDMC people with the same experience as me.

73154, you should probably worry. Heartless Prick gets on here and brags at how much he makes and how everyone below him is worthless. But you make just as much as him. All the higher AR wages will probably be gone if your numbers don't translate to great profits for EDMC. If Heartless Prick finds out who you are, you will probably be gone because he will get upset that you are beneath him and make just as much as he does. They will RIF all the higher wages and get new meat that they can pay less.

So, if I make 81K as an AR, am I a goner?

Who is to blame? Who will remain?

840- looks like you were taking advantage of the tuition benefits. Your post doesn't make a word of God damn sense! Before the doors close, try taking English

Yes. New South metrics rolled out for AM and FAid. HR fodder for layoffs. Going into last quarter of fiscal year and a new standard being held to that is no where near what success factors. PS if you don't know who are the doers from cannot do by now you will never know.

Yep, RIF the dogs and hire replacements at 75% of the current pay. With this methodology you could maintain a high level of AR's and still reduce costs, while maintaining talk time adn call counts. They aren't going to quit making people so there will always be "fresh meat" ( potential students and AR's) word

Entry level sales people coming out of college are a dime a dozen. As soon as the newest freak meat realize what's going on, more graduates will flood the job market. Wash rinse repeat

They want younger people who basically don't care about their first job out of school. They know peopke are going to turn over anyway. They'd rather just keep the door revolving with young, less experienced people.
