Big layoffs coming with the new pay scale being put into place. Obviously voluntary though. ERs making 80-100+ being told their new pay is 60 or the door? Some severance but not like it used to be. To quote Maynard James Keenan...'learn to swim... — read more
Manager Meeting Just Ended
Look for 30 AC’s and 3 ACM’s to be joining the unemployed very soon... Those with multiple insufficents on call forms being let go first
Why
More deleted posts. UoP is a sick sick sick company.
Employment Prospects after working at UOP
Are employers (not for-profits) reluctant to higher UOP employees? Especially in higher-ed? I don't know. I hope not. Unless one is a C-Level employee, the experience is comparable and valuable, and their hands shouldn't be dirty. But could potential... — read more
How does it feel
How are you ERs that have been trained to call new potential students enjoying your first day calling new leads? Here in the QC we are laughing. We know we are doomed but are actively looking for new jobs. Good luck to you all. Remember those ERs not... — read more
Enrollment layoffs
So, after yesterday's meeting (vague as always), do you all think there will be Enrollment layoffs? I only ask because they need enrollment to ENROLL. So, layoffs seem a bit counter-productive. Thoughts?
Coming
Thursday at the end of the pay period is the traditional lay off day. We will see
Can someone translate this?
In response to the question: "are there plans or thoughts on your plate to talk about how to better engage some of the full-time faculty in the improved student experience--mentoring new faculty, providing training, professional development, that... — read more
Honest thought
If we have any hope of becoming a profitable company, let’s stop sales pitching our product and create content thank speaks for itself. Quality and identity sells itself. Really, this is the best we can do????
Layoffs
Was told by my manager that I will be trained to take new student calls. What about my friends in the QC? Sorry guys
Why
This is not to place blame. I know you ERs are getting slapped around. For nursing RN to BSN. Why so few ERs answering calls from QC? QC is setting more callbacks than transferring.
University of Phoenix is now the no4 most hated company
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2018/02/01/bad-reputation-americas-top-20-most-hated-companies/1058718001/
Looks like the buyout company bit off more than it can chew
I do not think the company at it stands today is going to make it
Plan B and pricing
So does anyone know what the plan B is going to be?
What is there to hide??
More deleted posts. All within the rules. UoPx is real touchy on the new pricing. The deleted post all pertained to a plan B if pricing did not work. The posts were up all weekend till Monday morning. I guess UoPx upper management contacted some one... — read more
Frozen tuition!!! No 'hidden' fees???
So... how is this going?? Are PAAS and PSRP gone?? What about the dozens of other discounts previously given??? Are all of those MOUs now part of the past??? (I hope!)
WoW
Wow deleted Po's post. No personal names In post. Po spoke the truth. UoPx must have pressured the site. Wow talk about a cover up.
Glint Survey
It's engagement survey time again. Let's tell our leadership how much we love working at UOP!
Supporting students?
Found out today that the university will no longer offer student workshops on basic skills (writing, math, etc.). These were free workshops to help students brush up on these skills, and they were a great benefit, considering that the university... — read more
Whats Camdens deal?
The word already got out about the fake degrees nobody wants to buy fake degrees anymore so why is he such an activist? Even soldiers from the army and sme low income people now make fun of fake degrees from University of Phoenix
Obama influence on UoPX coming soon?
Don't be surprised if more comes out about UoPX, even if they try to stay below the radar.
Where
Where are the weekly enrollment numbers and charts??? Is it that bad?? This is our busiest month of the year.
So
Monday is a company holiday MLK. Do we get it off or not?
LAYOFFS Today
No specifics known. Heard faculty and some groups at Riverpoint.
"I'm not here to make any friends."
"I'm not here to make any friends." Three revolving teams of managers (above my ER manager) have parroted this to me in private one-on-one's over the last few years. What does THAT mean? And is there any place in any setting where this comment is... — read more
If the product is there, I do not see it
Bottomless enrollment declines, high loan default rates, high drop out rates, low completion rates, very bad publicity, absolutely huge class sizes, and there have been many posts on system processes that cannot possibly automate enrollment... — read more
Getting credit for the Reg
Making Regs has always been part of the job requirement for enrollment. Now, if your REG (enrolled student) fails the first class you no longer get credit for the REG. If "too many" of your students fail the first class it is now your responsibility... — read more
No campus closings in 2017?
Didn't University of Phoenix close any campuses in 2017? https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/subprime-college-crash-latest-campus-closings-dahn-shaulis/
Systems
Systems down again, what a joke of a school. How can anyone be productive with no visibility to student information? Bad management implementing bad systems, #werise
Reductions from the top down
As we know reductions are coming in heavy in Jan 18. No surprise today that the President announced that the CIOs last name in Jan 12th. Great ready everyone these reductions are going to be big and deep.. Sad
Attorney looking for comments--Did Enrollment Managers try to find a reason/s to fire Enrollment Advisers?
I am an Attorney with a very large law firm in the Phoenix area. I have a client who thinks so. Did Enrollment Managers over the last 2 years try to find a reason/reasons to fire Enrollment Advisers?? Did Enrollment Managers try to find a... — read more
Worth a read
Our most recent former president envisioned UOP as becoming the most trusted provider of higher education for adults. A wonderful vision but no chance of realization. Trust requires honesty, integrity, courage, accountability, and promise... — read more
The main issue with UOPs viability is its reputation
Generally the when the average person hears of University of Phoenix they think Fake Degree. There arent that many people willing to pay or take on debt for a fake degree. The remaining people that are willing to do so would never make it at a real... — read more
Reductions
The whole plan is to reduce the headcount that handle students. ASU has 49 staff for more students, we are wayyyyy unbalanced. SRM and UCP setup the environment to balance the load so then we can do reductions at will. It’s about reductions, period... — read more
More and more layoffs
Cohen said in meeting this week "we are 18% below quota." Its their own stupid fault for forcing sh--ty systems that dont work down our throat. Now they want to layoff for it. Sorry folks
Can we talk about the SRM debacle...
Good grief. SRM for enrollment....HORRIBLE. My productivity is completely shot. It is NOT user friendly for enrollment AT ALL. Makes you think though. Were all the IS3 creators laid off, fired, quit? Again, another, great, upper management decision.
Here's why this is happening
Massive, blind loans given to anyone with a pulse. And big shocker, they aren't being repaid. Yeah, that would be because much of the money was spent on partying, drugs, and Xbox's... — read more
More layoffs
On a call this week P. Cohen said and I quote, " there will be cutbacks we are not making all of our goals". The budgets/quotas are not being met so there will be more layoffs. If you are at a teach out location there is no reason to keep you much... — read more
More University of Phoenix layoffs this week?
It was mentioned that layoffs that started last week will continue into this week. Anybody knows if this is true and if so, which departments will be hit? This whole thing has me so worried that I barely slept last night. I wonder if we will ever... — read more
