Any good memories from working at Socle? A lot of people have worked with the company for a long time. It can't all be bad, right?
ECPO Year Plan Meeting
OMG - ECPO Year Plan meeting still trying to sell SLS 1105 and their "student focused" new class format is "ground breaking". It makes me gag. The information within this class is not only 10 years outdated but it also is incorrectly applied to help... — read more
Tough to believe that the stock was $1.75 last year.
$0.06 today.
Happy Holidays
Happy Holidays to all of you. I hope 2015 will be a good year for all us.
News
no town hall meetings. Canadian school sale to GSI still moving. ECMC is still interested in the CA schools but CA AG is not changing her mind. Stacy in HR mentioned that the close date may move from 1/5 to 1/12 because of the holidays, sorry... — read more
The Inevitable House Cleaning at the CCi Asylum
Prepare for the mother of all enemas in an attempt to finally rid CCi bowels of unparalleled levels of filth. Flush twice if you see high level "leadership", crooks, thugs, liars, bullies, cheats, blow hards and buffoons swirling amongst the putrid... — read more
Flurry of activity at CSC
Something to do with just scheduled, emergency Town Hall meetings at all locations. I have no idea why they are so last minute or important, but something's up. Or else someone really high up (JM?) could have just ordered a Town hall to dole out more... — read more
Death by 1,000 cuts
"In Imperial China, convicted criminals were subjected to a particularly unpleasant form of execution called lingchi, which involved slicing a condemned man’s flesh multiple times until he was dead. This horrific form of old Asian justice gave rise... — read more
A new age of slummy not-for-profit colleges?
To start with, ECMC has lots of complaints against it for ethical and possible legal violations. Through their connections at ED they're buying a big chunk of CCi cheap, and say that they want to create the largest non-profit college system in the... — read more
Any ECPO Adjuncts Get January 2015 Assignments Yet?
I didn't get any courses in the last term due to low enrollment. I have been told that enrollment is actively happening so I am curious if anyone (online adjunct) has received any classes for the 1/12/15 start date?
Ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?
Defending CCI is the same mind-set needed to defend Ted Bundy! All of you who are hoping for your former manager to bring you along with them when they leave are SHT outta luck. Every man for himself!
Santas Elves
Yes, Jack and the Execs along with the Divisions and RVPs fly around the country like Santa Clause everyday changing everything. Jesus Christ! Oh and add all the SVPs and Santa Ana. Quite the incredible conspiracy. So F$&@ stupid! Trolls!
The final turn is upon us...
I agree 2015 is going to be a fresh start and all of our emotions can be put away. I do have one question to ask, and I hope to get a truthful answer. Everyone says that we ripped off the minority students and that we prayed on the uneducated... What... — read more
Heald to shut down in January.
Heald is to shutdown in January.
Current ECMC employee
Our CEO and his team do not have the experience to purchase a company the size of CCI with the issues and challenges you face. Candidly, they have very limited experience and Hawn consistently disappoints us. We are concerned about you joining us. No... — read more
Hmmm. Mandatory Arbitration agreement a condition of enrollment in a NON PROFIT College? Seems like the new org will be non profit in name only
"Student loan servicer ECMC Group promised a new deal when it bought 56 of the 107 Corinthian College campuses for $24 million last month and said that it was looking to “help students” with this acquisition. But the reality that may surface later is... — read more
we all have our reasons for leaving or choosing to stay
I am interested in understanding the rationale for sticking around with all of this uncertainty
Wow, it's almost Christmas! It seems that my life has totally changed in the last year.
One year ago (1) I thought I worked for a reasonable company. Certainly not admirable, but I thought at least we were in the ballpark of ethical standards in the industry. (2) I really believed that most of our students' lives were positively... — read more
Instructor rankings
What exactly are 'instructor rankings' in the Comp Sci online dept? RT is requiring this from PLs. Is it based on actual teaching or on outreach, retention, failure rates (most of which are out of instructor control)?
Lying motherfoes
They are cutting at campus level.....just over heard today.
Hi, I'm new here!
Hey, what a great board you have going here! I wish I'd found it months ago! So, sharing info, gossip, reminiscing, having a few laughs, commiserating with each other...this is great! Some of you sound like a lot of fun, I wish there was a way to... — read more
Some light reading to pass the day!
Face it, it's Christmas week and we are all exhausted after 7 months of not knowing what the hell is going on with our jobs! "The Harlot Pimpernel" from Socle posted a roast of her boss (DS) and I think it'll cheer you up. If you're like me, it'll... — read more

Has anyone heard anything about the California schools?
ECMC to cut salaries by 20% to match the tuition change
You heard it here first, those who will call me a troll remember we only go letters on intent, not employment letters.

Situational Leadership II
Did you guys have to go through that? Did you just start getting bombarded with ads for it on this site? WTF??? I think I did my SLII in the friggin' late 90's. I had no idea that Ken Blanchard was still trying to peddle that load of dribble!

Congratulations and good luck in the future.
We need to have a talk about Dave...Socle Dave
I've been at Socle about a year now, and I really would like an answer to some questions I have about this guy. He is the most messed up manager I've ever worked for by far! So, for those of you old-timers (SFS): 1. How in the heck did DS get his... — read more

ECMC and CCI
They both sux!!! 30 to 50% pay cuts that is what is coming down the pike. Schools like wyotech must cut expenditures in half by Jan. Merry Christmas bitches!!! It's all about da $$$$$$
Confused
If ECMC and CCI have not done final closing on this deal, how can they give out offer letters or termination letters with their name on them. CCI employees do not work for them yet. I think CCI is just using the buyout to bypass any HR rules cherry... — read more

CCi signage no longer on Hutton Ctr Tower. Been seeing that for many years driving down the 55.
