Actually I'm friends with individuals of higher management in the company as well as people in the HR department and that is what I was told. Individuals were laid off for performance and salary caps. Choose to believe what you will but I'm not... — read more 

I find it appalling that UOP advertises on this page...

No, 2:33 is NOT spot on. Here comes the herd mentality! Is it too hard for you to simply take a look at the situation honestly and look critically at the facts here? Or is it that you've already decided what you want to believe and you're just going... — read more 

To the person claiming that salary had something to do with why folks lost their jobs yesterday- you are WRONG and you should not be posting claims about things that you have no proof in regard to. Face it- you are a cog in the machine, not a... — read more 

UOP has been fair and does work hard to make sure students succeed. All companies have minor issues. UOP always tries to do what is right.

Aren't the lawsuits the reason why the uop start "project progress"?

@2:33 exactly spot on.

The unfortunate part is that it wasn't just the under performers that were laid off it was also individuals that had maxed out their salary. With the 40% drop in leads since switching to not having a matrix there is no need for the amount of people... — read more

Regardless of whether or not the 700 deserved it what most people take issue with is that they were told that NO ONE would be laid off. Why lie? Why not explain in more detail WHY the 700 were laid off? Instead of Bsing us tell the truth.

I love it... I must be in management? I am but not at uop. I do feel aweful that 700 people lost their job and its terrible it happened around the holidays. I am sorry to say that you will need to go out and look for a job, just saying might want to... — read more

The students that drop should have never been in the class in the 1st place..

Be careful dear faculty member. A drop in students means fewer classes and no need for you either. Especially those of you whose complete inability to simply 'facilitate' a course causes students to drop out.

Glad i'm only a faculty member there. No pink slips for us!

To the grinch impersonator: great job practicing your creative writing skills you'll need for your cover letter and resume. Please recite the following as you'll need to memorize this phrase for your future career: "would you like fries with that"

Oh My God! Someone out there does have a brain! I like the post below. Kudos to whomever thought of that. However, you're all still unemployed or soon to be unemployed morons. Good luck on the job hunt!

After reading the posts I realize I was wrong and acting like a jerk. I made my rude comments from a dark place in my soul. The spot is there because as a kid I never got a pony. Also I am a very lonely person who still lives in their parents... — read more

GRINCH - making student volume or creating that is what has gotten us into trouble. I have like 20 comptencies that I am still wondering what will be for my next review - but in management like you are - emplain those to us!

Apollo Boy - we lost one employee because they felt her position was not worth the money essentially. Cut the whole division, but yet she was the difference between the enrollment counselors having the enrollments completed on time and needing to be... — read more
