I'm trying to figure out which VP of enrollment is actually dumber... Chris Gloor or Brett Romney? Seriously...this move to keep these two idiots answers a majority of questions on this message board around what's next for UOP. They are quite... — read more
Local Full Time Faculty Layoff
UOP laid off 30+ Local Full time Faculty today. Offered full time adjunct jobs. Will make more on unemployment. Don't take adjunct courses for half pay. Take the unemployment
The typical and expected way this organization treats their employees. Leaving people in limbo wondering if enough volunteered to leave.
Just a disgrace of an organization. I hope the buyout fails and they chain the f in doors shut.
If you own even one share of Apollo stock
Please vote no to the Apollo sale and especially to the compensation packages purpose to reward those who successfully destroyed a once proud and successful company. The Phoenix is dead and won't be rising from these ashes. Time to put a fork in it.
Why is there 3 senior directors of finance? What can 3 adulterers do that 1 can't. I can see two of them from my window walking around all day
and just hanging out. The one is in Texas so no one knows wtf she is up to. I remember she used to get trashed at the bars with the rest of the subordinates. You have slime ball SB in Phoenix. This guy will hit on a tree stump if give the chance. He... — read more
Can't figure this out
Stock price is still hanging in there despite this: http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/apol/risk I guess some investors still think the company has potential. Management is hanging in there, too. But where else can management have so much bad news for so... — read more
Certification garbage
Why are people shocked by all this? When they let people who had no management experience be leaders everyone was doomed. When the transition from ACS to UOP took over all the good people left. This is the outcome when you let losers from... — read more
CALPERS would be largest investor?
Pardon my ignorance, but if Apollo Global Management (APO) takes over Apollo Education Group (APOL), does that mean that University of Phoenix's largest institutional investor would be CALPERS (California Public Employees Retirement System)?... — read more
Why no incentive this time around?
I am curious as to why we are not being offered an incentive like enrollment was? A few months ago enrollment had layoffs and those that volunteered were given an additional 3 weeks I believe. So some reps got 12 weeks pay for severance. Why is it... — read more
Ethics for Kids? How about Adults?
Talk about irony. University of Phoenix is teaching teachers how to tell children how to be ethical? Wow, talk about... — read more
4/28 D-day
Everyone should wear black as a sign of solidarity and mourning. Leadership has driven UoP into the ground and now they are trying to bury it. There will be no miraculous rising from the dead. We are not a Phoenix. We are a bastion of idiocy and... — read more
"Leadership" event held at pricey resort and spa the week of 400+ layoffs
This week employees within the University had a conference at the very expensive Lowes Ventana Canyon Resort and Spa, all while over 400 people lost their jobs. That is tasteless and tacky.

Dirty manager
Get rid of some managers who are investigated for buying weed from their subordinates. Drug test them and see who comes up dirty.
Where has that coke snorting, drunk, adulterer Sandman been. He has gone into hiding. Probably in his cave pretending to be important.
You and Rob think you are important but anywhere outside the P, you would be laughed at. Live it up dick heads because this s hole is going to shutter it's doors faster than you think.
Fate of certification
Does anyone think that cert will actually get 63 volunteers?? I feel like our fate is already set
Embarassed to say I worked there
When I first moved to AZ two years ago, I made the move because UOP hired me over the phone. That's the only good thing I can say about my exprience other than the fact that my team was nice and all were good people who deserved better. I left after... — read more

Be thankful a new opportunity awaits you.
The stress of losing your income and benefits is difficult, trust me I am an ex UOP employee and it has been a long hard road. Knowing I don't have to wake up anymore and work under such poor leadership like Greg C or the Tim's or Maria, Brett, or... — read more
My heart goes out to all who have been laid off or pending layoffs.

I was fired...took the time off to go do something I really wanted to do, haven't felt that alive in months. I look forward to the collapse.

Certification is screwed
The news in the Dept spread like wild fire. I'm not thinking there's any way that certification will get enough volunteers across the board....
Can we get 106 volunteers???
So, according to the communication finance needs 106 volunteers to accept the severance. If they get that, no one else will be affected. Do you think they can get that? Or do we need to be worried that only a few will volunteer and the rest will be... — read more
