Seriously? Pull it together people. They cannot just fire people because theyare not mormon. You have no clue what happened so you are reaching. Get your facts straight before you start posting people's names and posting information that is not... — read more 

The fact that UOP likes to regain ignorant cliques with poor morales is great for the competition. I say that they should continue to do it and continue to get tangled in their own web. If you mention keeping or hiring competent management, the... — read more 

I hope that someone from UOP on the upper level of ownership is reading these posts...cause something has to change.

Oops- I misspoke on the Enrollemt Manager- It was Josh Anderson that did the right and honorable thing NOT Josh Hatch.

Yes, more people were laid off yesterday, about a dozen people in training and development.

I heard that today 5/19 more people were laid off but not sure where. I must say....all the jargon about 'we will do what is necessary" seems to be coming to fruition.

San Diego- Yes they are firing people now rather than laying off. It saves UPX from media attention and not paying severances. They have been doing this since January.

I was one of the 700 laid off back in November and I now have a better job, with a better company, making more money. Hooray!

In San Diego instead of laying people off they are firing them. They have fired more people in last two weeks then they have in the last year! How about your campus? Do there seem to be more terminations than usual?

Yes, TDROPS are a real thing. TDROPS are just that a temp drop. I believe that these happen early within the start of a program only- like the first block or two. This status is used so that enrollment numbers look higher than they actually are. Hope... — read more
