Cut the dead weight of employees who do not meet expectations and abuse the UPTO guidelines . At that point you will have the people who want to drive results and show up.

36 hours before you entitled, worthless and lazy narcissistic people are let go. Then 2u can fold up like origami and wither away like a dandelion in the wind. I would asvise all you cry home to your parents and move in to their basement. Vote for orange man to get back the life you used to have.
Ha. Too much underperforming dead weight to cut.
Hopefully the cuts are performance based and we can try and get this thing back rolling again
“Hard workers” like the OP - real VIP, employee of the year.
2U, where hard work = a** kissing. Shout out to all the hard workers out there desperate enough to still be at that miserable, life-su-king excuse for a company.
There are definitely employees who are dead weight but we also pay a massive amount of leaders that are dead weight if we're thinking about dollars. How many consultants have we paid huge amounts and it goes no where? We have things to execute and we just hire companies in that take 6-9 months and don't even listen to them. So much money just wasted with no accountability. Even in the reorgs, we have leaders who have completely failed getting elevated. No managers deserves promotions right now, let alone Sr leaders
Former HR team member. There was a core group of UPTO super-users who ruined it for everyone else (I.e. routinely took 40+ days per year off. One guy took 80 days.) . This largely goes back to poor management. If you can hit your goals and do your job while taking 40 days off, someone didn’t design your work properly.
IMO people at 2U don’t work very hard. Leadership is inexperienced and don’t push their teams. Couple this with a product that can at best be described as obsolete, and you have a recipe for disaster.
@1hna+1pXvCTef Do you think your manager not doing their f-king job by not reprimanding the underachievers 'supported' your team? You been keeping up with all the school teachers quitting that profession because parents EXPECT schools to babysit their kids, but they go berserk when a teacher gets tired of the bull and disciplines? Managers at twou are like parents who don't teach their kids manners & respect and expect everyone else to watch their brats and just put up with the bull. Just like the teachers who say f-k it I don't have to take this, the good employees flee a disaster. Glad you got out for your wellbeing.
@OP+1pXvCTef, I hate to break you the bad news, but the biggest reason why 2U has failed is that their programs often led to negative ROI for students-consumers. The second reason is that it did not listen to its most principled workers.
Best thing i did was leave. Was tired of the complaining of team members and abuse of pto. I always felt bad for my manager they always stood up for our team. But the team(s) were a cluster of immaturity and lack of wanting to WORK
Lol it’s funny you describe it that way. When I was hired my metrics were so ridiculous I barely felt comfortable leaving my desk to go the bathroom. Worked my damn a-s off. Still do.
Unlimited PTO, enjoy 40-50d off
Every holiday off (13)
Winter break (10-12d)
Miss goals but be involved well promote you
Miss goals but it’s ok, you are nice
Enjoy useless company meeting I TD
Fail at your job but do bare minimum to keep your job
And enjoy a raise
It’s very clear how Chip made a monster
Company, full of dead weight who expect the world. Company is oblivious to what hard work is
Well maybe that checks out since the former man child CEO’s strategy for management of employees was “corporate grooming”. Hire them young, show them a good time to gain loyalty, and distract them with the “have fun” mentality. Take advantage of their willingness to drink the kool aid, but gaslight them if they ever step out of line. Manipulate them into thinking they were “doing good” while actually contributing to burdening so many people with student loan debt. Target the ones who never had a real job before 2U so they weren’t able to recognize the corruption. Where’s the lie and who’s to blame?
I had a co-worker who worked 2 hours a day MAX. Place is full of entitled people. Unprofessional, lazy, and delusional
Company is full of immature children who think they are adults, they are not. Realistically this population speaks poorly, have awful writing skills but feel they are killin it, in their lingo. Hire upstanding professionals who will make the company flourish, not kids who work 4hrs a day, take 40-50pts days and complain about every little thing. Thanks chip
There will be a cut coming soon arlight ...
Maybe some of ya'll need to go to vocational school to get a better job.
The company cut some of its top performers during the last round of layoffs because there was no other dead weight to cut at this point. OP, you are delusional and your anger is misplaced. Wake up.
If they haven’t been cutting the dead weight with all the layoffs, what the h-ll have they been doing?? Stop pointing blame at the employees who carry the weight of this company. The problem lies with the irresponsible decisions made at the top and poor management in general. Some people have no sense. Go ahead and keep sippin that kool aid, though. This company will continue to burn itself into the ground, regardless of your tantrums.
Honestly, the 20 days plus holidays, plus the whole week off during Christmas is pretty generous. Go to another company and see what you get. If people are taking advantage then it’s because they are getting the PTO approved by a director after 20 days.
I know some people who use a good amount of UPTO but get their sh-t done and more. Others have lower UPTO numbers (on the books) but take days to respond despite being “in the office.” So what’s worse? Honestly I support the former over the latter.
Just get rid of unlimited pto
@pbv+1pXvCTef Thanks bud. Be well
Bud, I worked the jobs of three people after backfills were rejected and I was still part of one of the mass layoffs while people who "delegated" everything to others were kept on. Quit with the BS.
