yes they have changed how they market. Not because they decided to, but because new external policies are requiring. How do you know about spurling?

My imagination, or has UOP cut their advertising budget? I don't see as many pop up adds? As I remember it this company has cash? Sperling is jumping ship, taking out 800 million in stock sales. Moving out of a failed business model into new markets... — read more

It is clear that staff redutions are coming. It is seeming like that reducing staff is via terminations and not layoffs. The silly new performance system in place is a JOKE! UPX needs to get the old blood out of there that are in management!

Sounds like UOP is just as greedy and shady as CCI. Rumor is that UOP is trying to buyout Corinthian. They deserve each other! Let them join evil hands and they can all hang out the "CLOSED" sign.

well, in the end, if the 90/10 rule doesn't get fixed they will be changing all of their programs and half of UOP won't have jobs...so enjoy the paycheck while you can.

How about..UOP charging students around $395 per credit hour, when the local community college will charge the student around $100 for the same hour. Let's not kid ourselves and say that UOP cares about "those who are left behind". If the did care... — read more

How about... UOP educates people who normally get left behind.. do you decide who is worthy of education or not? People have degrees and better lives because UOP accepted them. Yes.. some people fail. Welcome to life.

The best information here is that you can still do something about the corruption at UOP you can call and enforce the gainful employment act. If the GEA is pushed on for profits they will have no choice but to cripple their gargantuan greedy... — read more 

does anyone have anything good to say with good information or just to talk shit about UOP, we know they suck! How about some information we can use!!!

The only thing UOP (University of Profit) cares about is the almighty dollar. The best thing current employees can do to remotely save there jobs is act as unethical as possible. Keep putting those single moms in AXIA!! Lie or die.

So much for the two months of subsidized COBRA. I called today and it still had not been processed and the two months are up the end of January.

Do we know when the next layoff is scheduled?

Superman: it's all political. My manager is on SW and he sucks. He came from NE as a promotion and can't even manage. I am a mother and my kids can even do better. If you ask me, people like JN needs to go.

I think I'm going to get fired today... poor performance... I just don't have it anymore... I truly hate this job and I only pray the hammer falls!!!

not sure if anyone knows this, but the Houston qualifying center was closed and another 14 employees were laid off this week.

I agree that one should do their job. However, that won't prevent a person from a layoff. If one listens to the news, reads online blogs and articles, or watches television news programs then one will realize that good performers as well as poor... — read more
