Greetings, I was reviewing the latest report, and Boston is, indeed, closing, and Mason, OH will become the center of the Unlimited Reich. I'm not sure how we all missed this, as it's in the report in black and white. It seems as though the Axis of... — read more 

I'm starting to think IPS is a member of management because they make predictions that always come true. If not, maybe MH should invite IPS in to consult with the situation. I hope IPS isn't here to get us all fired.

Seems like it’s the same people who are always worried about layoffs. Other people think upcoming changes won’t affect their world. Why or why not are you worried this time?

What are you thoughts on First Friday today? People were asking tough questions in Slack. I doubt we will get answers. I will be prepping my resume this weekend.

As of February 2023, a National Labor Relations Board decision prohibits employers from requiring laid off workers to keep confidential both the terms of their severance agreement and the terms and conditions of their job (which includes wages... — read more 

Is Cengage sun setting? Will the demand to increase revenuein every department lead to a pay cut for the c suite? hahaha transparency

Cengage is doomed after todays email. We’re toast.

Lots of talk about growth, de-leveraging, etc but then still a $35mm loss due to debt servicing.

I can't imagine waking up every morning and having any dignity or self respect knowing I work at the Cengage...

This company has been in a death spiral since July 7th 2007 when new "leadership" took over after the sale to private "equity". A lot of great work went into this brand and publisher from the early 60's to 2007, a lot of great people, mentors... — read more

Hearing of leadership layoffs in the International group. Anyone have more info? Seemed like that was a promising part of the business post-COVID.

Seeing posts from former longtime Cengage colleagues announcing they are looking for work.

As a former Cengage employee (and bankruptcy survivor) I am very much looking forward to reading this book: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/brendan-ballou/plunder/9781541702103/?lens=publicaffairs

What is going on here?

Anyone heard of any layoffs?

Do you think when the economy finally collapses and the organization is in turmoil they will prioritize laying off the equity-hired transpersons and their underperforming alphabet club ally’s first? Just like in the tech sector?

What's the endgame with the vultures and Cengage?

I started years ago, I discovered it was a fake meme company after 2 years and then quit leaving my low IQ manager to pick up the pieces. This manager is now gone too, went to another meme publisher to repeat the lie. How did it go for you?

Greetings, I’m proud to announce that Google has taken a page out of our leadership team’s playbook as they look to emulate Cengage’s explosive success in EdTech. Layoffs do not show a company’s weakness, they are a way to project strength. Think... — read more 

How in the world did Cengage get voted best place to work in a 2023 Glassdoor survey? I mean really. Everyone is overworked and underpaid. Loved my boss explaining the 1.2% annual raise. Meanwhile MH is vacationing in an Italian villa.

Now they are hiring for a lot of the positions they laid off last year—feel bad for the new comers, since they will be paid less than the people they laid off . Jobs that required college degrees are now equivalent experience lol. They will be so... — read more 

One of my children recently started online college classes. While both Cengage and Pearson materials had to be purchased, a few classes are providing free material by a company called OpenStax. I always thought of no-cost materials to be... — read more 

Why is it working at Cengage seems like nothing more than a slumber party gone wrong at the sorority? I've never in my life met so many underperforming mean gossiping girls in my life than here? If someone doesn't have any gossiping backstabbing... — read more

A better question would be "How do you integrate work and life?" "It's a fool's errand" to drop the iPhone or pen at 5 p.m. and the weekends.

We had a DM put Apple trackers in reps cars because she was mentally ill. We all knew she was doing this but I’m curious if any one else knows any other DMs who were also engaged in spying ?
