If you have a real education and any self respect, get out of there. I suffered at that place for 3 years after grad school. The economy sucked and they were the only ones hiring entry level people at a decent salary. I transferred out of enrollment... — read more

Now that we have all these deans at every school, I am trying to figure out why we have all these directors still.
I would actually like to hear from directors here. What do you do. You call in every day, the same goes for finance managers and academic managers. What purpose do any of you actually serve? You cover for one another. When one is off, the other... — read more

Be Kind in Our Troubled Times
Cancel All Potlucks and Celebrations on the 18th!! We need to be sensitive about the , you know- The Layoffs, there I said it. Many will be mad or upset about volunteering and not being chosen and must return to work on Friday. Be caring!!!
If we volunteered do we still have to work?
I volunteered for the voluntary lay off but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do? There aren't any calls coming in and I've already called my students dozens of times. I also heard there was a party next week macayos but the rumors here are so crazy... — read more

The HR paperwork will be done by tomorrow, and Friday will be the last day for those who volunteered. You heard it here first.
Final Countdown- T minus 8 Days and counting
We had joy, we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons Have all gone
Annoyed with horrible managers like WF!!
Do yourself a favor, UOP, and get rid of the Kool Aid drinking, good for nothing managers like Wes Fawcett! I hope he has to get on the phone and prove what an idiot he is. Man, that guy just doesn't get it. F him!
Insurance
This year 2015 I chose 90/10 insurance. Next year 2016 my insurance will be 80/20 with a payment increase of 56%. Working for Apollo/UoPX is swell. Next time I am voluntary to leave and get another job or go on welfare, a win - win.
Severance shock
Guys, I volunteered for the severance and I'm getting really nervous. I've been applying for jobs since last week and haven't gotten a single call back. I have a BSM from UOP, and maybe that's the problem. I feel like I made a big mistake! Any... — read more
Going, going, gone
IT is already working on a phone system to direct calls. If you want to enroll press one, reach your ER press two, transcripts press........ you get the idea. The ACC/OC is being by passed to save money. Sorry ACC, the time has come.

Quality is putting the screws down
