Anyone hear anything about next month's expected round of layoffs?

@2b8 I just found that post which slammed management and work-life balance which doesnt' surprise me at all given all the work and projects the CPMs now have. The company will be mostly non-domestic workers at some point - modern day sweat shop?
Saw a recent 1/5 rating on Glassdoor by an Indian CPM. Ironic and hilarious.
@226 they already had CPI to take over majority off daily project tasks. They probably will assign them full time, and layoff US CPMs.
@234 yup, a CM who worked at Cengage for 25 years got laid off. Tenure is positively correlated with the probability of termination!
Correction, people that have worked at cengage from 8-44 years. Wow.
Another thing of note, a lot of the people that were laid off had anywhere from 8-17 years working at cengage. Not sure wha the significance of that is but thought it was worth highlighting
4 - digital tech content operations
11 - anz/school
1 - core
This is in addition to the listed onesbeneath. A lot of mentions of new positions opening up and teams being replaced by offshore employees.
Overall, smaller cuts than last year but I wouldn't be surprised these become more frequent. Last year broke the pattern where layoffs occurred only around earnings so im assuming that will continue this year.
@1zb - They will definitely get rid of all Content Managers eventually, just taking their sweet time.
Three in Devops.
@1z9 4 in Global Content Production
That should have said going under the department of higher ed
There's a reorg in higher ed digital. At least two were let go. Anyone know if any other cuts occurred elsewhere in the company?
Cengage School is now going Higher Ed. Yeah, that's not going to cause problems. 🙄
@1ch In your case, that seems more likely than not! ha ha
What be hilarious would, if we got laid off and didn’t know because we all work from home now, ha ha!
Yes. I heard it’s bogus, written by a former employer who is up to malicious mischief.
@1b0 - latest round of job cuts? when did that happen?
Can only assume that AI was consulted was hallucinating over the latest round of job cuts
Hoo boy @d3 you do not want to look at the operations/platform support team in Aust then.
@17d IPS is satirical!
@10e Can you be clearer and avoid the word salad please. So, to confirm, nobody who works at Cengage will be losing their jobs?
Greetings,
Let me be clear, there will be no layoffs. We will be making resource adjustments and reallocations to better serve our customers. By transitioning to a leaner, more agile organization, we will be in an even stronger position to transform the way students learn.
Full Stop!
Speculation is nonsense.
Didn't hear anything yet - Higher Ed
where did you hear that?
