Can we please stop complaining
If you have been laid off or will be laid off in the future, I feel for you. Please keep this I mind. In any type of acquisition, specifically one that centers on acquiring a financial failure, it takes time to recover. Part of that process is right... — read more
ECMC Strategic Plan for Zenith Education: Eliminate Education and Outreach. Costs plummet and all you need is a collections sweatshop.
Student choice, RIFs, compliance violations, and now the plan is clear. Get out of the education business by retaining students with no "choice" but to stay put (cha ching, gives you time to cook the books). Then fire everyone in academics and... — read more
Jack and Bosic please come back
Is one thing to be a crook and another thing to be a crook and idiot at the same time. Completely new dimension of stupit. Our leaders made no changes in personnel at the higher level ( divisional /RVPO) because they don't know the business of... — read more
Career Builder
A former PD sent me a link to CB and it showed that Zenith advertised at least 67 various positions. Isn't ironic that we were terminated while they were advertising for new employees.
Understanding Unemployment Waivers
Interesting site from the EEOC..... http://www.eeoc.gov/policy/docs/qanda_severance-agreements.html
Did anyone else not get their final paycheck today?
I looked at my direct deposit and noticed today, Friday, I was not paid for the last two weeks of work. Are they sending us a hard check instead of a direct deposit?
ECMC/ZENITH is a bad deal.
This group is operating now for about 3 months now. So far they get F- in all aspects of the operation. They are ignorant idiots who only care about profits and care none about students and employees. I can't even want to say it... the CCI crooks... — read more
English
What's the status of English faculty? Who is left? Who was fired? It's time that the ED department find out more details about how TINA is forcing the dean, PL's, and FTF's to pass students through who can't read & write. The curriculum is pathetic... — read more
Conference Call With Employment Law Attorney
I will try to set up a conference call for next Friday with an employment law attorney in Los Angels. I will provide a call in number and access code. In the event if we have to change the day, I will let all of you know. We can call and ask question... — read more
Math
Anyone have scoops on math? How many FT and adjuncts are left? How many sections are running?
Our new team consists of 10 full-time PLs and Faculty PLUS 30 Adjuncts. Only 4 Adjuncts are without classes.
So they kept a large number of adjuncts that have classes assigned to them right now. It sounded from many posts that large amounts of adjuncts were "let go". Not so in this case and it makes sense if they wanted to save money.
How is week 1 going?
For those of you still working, how is Week 1 going? What new, crazy rules are they imposing on faculty? How's Ashley and Anna behaving?
DO NOT SIGN THE RELEASE YET
Hello fellow colleagues, I am in contact with a prominent employment/civil law attorney in Los Angeles concerning our termination. He is going to conduct some preliminary research to ascertain if we have a legitimate claim for a law suit. I will know... — read more
Who pulled the plug?
...was it the PDs, Dean or Tina?
Patricia Jones
I find it very interesting and unsettling that this woman who has violated the "No Compete Clause" by teaching online for Liberty University while working for Everest has the gall to call us with the layoff script. Pretend that I am a 6 year old and... — read more
Who is left? Curious who dodged the bullet...
I'd love an update of who is left. Some excellent PLs and FTF were cut. As of now it looks like Charlie Rudy Megan Ashley George Beth Kathryn Debra and Kelly are still there...anyone else?
One sacred person was made into an adjunct
Yes, a friend of mine was told by her friend, that out of all the faculty laid off on Friday, ONE person was allowed to move from a PL to adjunct. Yes, this one person as I was told was in SLS - Life Skills. Imagine what this one person must have... — read more
ECP Layoffs
I know that EUO online faculty have been sent layoff notices. What about ECP? Are FT and Adjunct Faculty at ECP not affected?
Severance
What was the severance package offered for those let go on Friday? Was it decent, especially with how coldly this was done?
Is the college going to close?
With all of the firing etc, are they gearing up to close down?
Any suggestions on how this could have been handled differently ...
Given the sobotaging tendencies we are displaying here. Imagine a month notice was given. A lot of us would have wreaked havoc....
Contacts for Complaints
Anyone have some serious contacts where we can file complaints against ECMC/Zenith/Everest? Even though our employment was "at will," I think that we still need to expose the corruptness that's going on so that those in the future don't suffer like... — read more
Catherine Orazi
Anyone know who this chic is? She's the one that gave the firing squad call to me.
PURELY LIP SERVICE
Many of us were put in front of the firing squad last Friday-but they soon will be standing in front of one themselves. There are three kinds of management at ECMC/Zenith- some think they are slicker than snail snot- some that are lower than whale... — read more

Now is your chance. If you've been fired then get your students contact information and warn them to stay away from this school. You will
still have access to your students' contact information for a short while.

Anna can wipe her ass with her fake Ed.D. If she was so great, what the hell is she doing at a dump like Everest? She point blank told me that if I didn't get my retention rate up, I would be let go. She expected us to get kids who couldn't... — read more
