Re: email was just sent to employees with similar context regarding the stock price as was discussed in earnings call last week. Chip is hiding behind his CFO now?

Chip has got to go. This can’t wait. Chip has lost all confidence from employees and investors. He must be hurting customer relationships as well.

…I hope everyone knows that the people at the bottom of 2U who didn’t destroy the company (admissions counselors, student advisers, placement people, all of us who worked directly with students) actually gave a fu-k about every student we talked to... — read more

Neutral question here: was Friday's paycheck the last one? Or is there one more? Thanks!

They want to see who all is drinking the kool-aid with the new re-org, and who all needs to be kept on a list for next time. Don't give them anything they can use against you.
