They may be offering voluntary as well as walking people out. They should give same opportunities to all with offering voluntary package to ALL, but that's UOP. Additionally they may do these lay-offs and then start re-hiring to get reps to be trained in new ways at cheaper wages .... to cleanse the old, toxic morale/environment that has been created and to bring in new people at lower salaries with no experience in the old ways and with new, fresh outlook and no traumatic memories of UOP's past behaviors. Cutting employee numbers and higher salaries. Have to bring all the numbers down so golden parachutes and buy-out can be financed. They just reported earnings..estimated a loss of 10 cents per share that was actually a loss of 56 cents per share for a 60 Million loss. OMG. Desperate times call for desperate measures. If you are laid off and marked as eligible for re-hire? Can you be re-hired at a lower wage? Are they looking to move people from one job in the company to another job in the company versus terminating if they have the skills? Probably not because the goal is not to keep anyone employed...but to reduce numbers and get NEW people at lower wages that are not tainted by their past experiences with UOP. Hitting the REFRESH button.
Yes layoffs happened but please be respectful of those that are still trying to help our students. We may not agree with upper management but we do want to continue to support our students. My heart goes out to the employees let go as well as the ones trying to stay behind and pick up the pieces.
this is SAD news ....
This is not lie. Some departments were given a choice of voluntary. In operations people can choose voluntary and if not enough people do this random decisions will be made. Some people come on here and bash the company. I understand people have their reasons. Some individuals even if they do not care for the company, they still is a job with good health insurance and pay to support a family or just theirself. This will be tough for those that get let go.
For the people that just want to make rude comments about people loosing their job, understand you could be in this situation one day.
This is all lies. We actually were hiring people today. Such a fake site.
Confirmed by department head in last minute meeting. between 400-700 reportedly let go across student services, along with HR, TAC, and Operations.
Yes, I was laid off this morning. They called me at home and would not give me a reason or the numbers. They said it was a company wide reduction in the workforce.
Layoffs are real. Notification date will be 4/28 with last day being either 4/28 or 6/24 depending on department
It will happen again in 3 months for enrollment . Not to mention the sale has hit a major snag due to the class action law suit filed against Uop. Still many cuts to be made and money to be saved. Ragu has two more layoffs planned and the next will be in 3 months. This should not be a surprise , just expect every year at least two layoffs will occur until the numbers are low enough to sustain.
I was layed off , worked in admissions. So were employees from evaluation and document processing. Many departments impacted this time around.
The criteria for enrollment last time was. No Bachelors Degree,Disciplinary Action and low Tenure
Those spreading NO Layoffs are personnel hired by Apollo Ed to provide a good image on social media. In the past it was called propaganda.
What was criteria for the enrollment reps let go?
25 enrollment reps got let go as well. 2 I know of personally. Saw them both leave. HR got hit as well. Only academics and finance got voluntary
Why are people denying there were layoffs today? Were the people we witnessed being walked out today just figments of our imagination?
Actually, f--- bag, there were.
There were no actual layoffs today dimWits!!! Just an email and a meeting... Cool off on the rumors...
We got an option for voluntary. Last day in May, another group in June. Huge reduction in operations!
Student services sent out voluntary severance package email. 90 AC's and 103 FC's. Enrollment lost a director in single course and 9 reps on disc. action.
Office of Admissions and Records had layoffs. About 30-40 total
Yes, it hit the registrars office as well :(
10 to 15% reduction in ACC/TAC. People being walked out of building #4
Call BS all you want, we watched people just file out of Riverpoint with boxes in hand. They aren't on Elwood anymore so it was all at Riverpoint.
No voluntary email went out, not like the last big layoff where it was an application process. That was your time to get out with a sweet deal. This time around it was not an option and who knows what type of severance package if any people were given.
I call bs. What campus?
Yes, sadly layoffs hit the ACC from phone reps to managers to some senior managers. Finance dept, StAS, TAC and operations. It is really sad. Not sure if any more will come down the line as of now. It is really sad for employees.
Who? Where? Who got the voluntary layoff email?
Yes- in operations as well.
Yes... People are being walked out now
