I'm sure the layoffs will continue for some time but

what changes are going to be made eventually? I wonder if the QC will still be calling people every 2 hours just like a collection agency? UOP doesn't set the standard. The top dogs say they this is an ethical institution. Why? Because you "follow... — read more

There's NO excitement to enroll students anymore.

The fun days to enroll students are over. Used to feel good to clap and cheer when a student would REG. Everyone from executive to staff level employees feel the same way and the culture is worth shit. Wolf of Wallstreet days at UOP are long done!

I would not take the current severance package, better ones are on the way and only the suckers took the first round of offers.
