I'm doing some research on the University of Phoenix. Thanks you all for your comments; they've been very helpful. I'd like to speak one on one with former employees (let go w/ the 700, subsequently, or who left voluntarily since then) about whether... — read more 

pay close attention to the recent $300m settlement that was "denied in appeal" today againts Apollo Group dating back to 2008. May be time to buckle up but remember, no one is offering information on where we are going...are they now!

the biggest issue at how poor the company is run is all the amateur Mormom managers..no credible experience, no education outside of uop and no reason they should be in a position of management other than the fact they all go to the same church. It... — read more

Enrollment Counselor = Enroll students. You dont enroll students if you are only make 5 calls a day. Bye, enjoy your new job.

Bob, I do think a lot of people are trying their best to their jobs. However, a lot of managers will find the littlest things to write the employees up about. For instance, if someone is making calls, and talking on the phone - what is the reason to... — read more

How can employees be written up based on competencies when there has been no training on competencies? How can employees be written up because talk time or dials are too low when they won't tell you how much talk time or dials is required. This is... — read more 

If the directors and managers don't have a degree by a certain date, they should be asked to step down. How can you be a manager or director and work in education without a degree?

I think layoffs are postponed for now. But managers in SW need to go such as JN. He is horrible and there because of his director. She couldn't pass a test in an associates program.

So is a layoff going on today or what?

I am so SICK of the word games at UPX! Employees are still being given FINAL written warnings because their talk time and/or dials are too low. Yet management won't say how many dials or how much talk time is expected. This is just a way to fire... — read more

No one was laid off... I think things are ok. everyone can just chill out... for now

So people were laid off - ?? I think the degree side of the world will continually feel the pain of layoffs throughout the year - other divisions not so much. Get an education while you are there - it just makes sense.

Its Wednesday... wonder if they will happen today? ??

I am now hearing layoffs this Friday. Yesterday briefing was cya because last layoffs employees felt lied too. Now they told ya straight out.

one of these days this company will take care of there employees like they are constantly saying that are actually doing. If they really cared about the employee staff and their will to work there they (directors) would not consistantly move about... — read more 

It was vague. Said short term we have too many people for our numbers but longterm we hope to grow. That activity levels are up but need to be more active. So nothing concrete.

So the broadcast today said there would or would not be layoffs?

The broadcast pretty much said there will be layoffs... what the f*** is going on... why can't we get a straight answer!!!??????

i would fully agree with you. I think it was all talk... just like everything else on this board. NO LAYOFFS are in the future... let's all rest easy!

I thought I saw some signs of it earlier, but all signs are fading. I really don't see this happening anymore

HUH is a douche

the broadcast is at noon... here is the link...http://www.eventsvc.com/apollogrp/1

My manager said that he is 99.999999999999999999% sure NO ONE is getting laid off today or in the future... wonder what that means...

The broadcast is tomorrow afternoon after the apparent layoffs

It can't just be NE. I am sure a number that large is across the board. Aren't we having some streaming broadcast by the President tomorrow too?

I feel for the NE Division. I am in the SW Divison and feel bad for all the employees who will lose there jobs if this happens tomorrow.

I have heard the say thing about the lay-offs. The rumors started last week and Friday I heard about the 1,600 number. I work in the Northeast division and it is really sad, we have been all scared to lose our jobs despite doing our best to service... — read more 

I am hoping this is not true. But we will see. I am in one of the online campuses and all I can do is the best I can. If laid off would start looking immediately. Hope I get the same servants pay and education as the first layoff was.

I have heard the layoffs will be on Tuesday and will involve about 1600 across all of the divisions/campuses. Get ready!

Be aware of what? What can you do about it...if a lay off is going to happen, it will happen. Why stress...if youre that paranoid about it, just QUIT! There no point in stressing out over something you cant controll

I just heard they are doing lay offs in the northeast region on tuesday... get prepared. I have noticed at the end of january big wigs were walking through holding the same packets they provided to the 1st 700 laid off... just be aware... anyone else... — read more
