So we here in the colonies have lost pretty much our entire schools publishing and content team. The rationale is that global content can be mediated to local curriculum requirements. This is patently untrue. The ANZ market for secondary school material is seriously insular, and anything that is not created by local writers will be looked on as second rate nonsense. They are moving us to the Pearson model, which as anyone who knows our market will attest is doomed to failure.
The best bit of this though is the fact that we only found out about this via a: people who had already been dumped but still had relationships with those canned and b: the actual email that went out was addressed only to the team who were mostly already being canned. There has been no messaging to the rest of the ANZ team despite us working closely with most of those involved over many years.
Gold standard in intercompany comms.

@672 You sound like a psychopath.
If you're a straight man still working at this awful pit, you need to GTFO. If you're a woman working at this awful pit, you get everything you deserve.
Well, IPS once again told us we would have exciting new tasks being assigned to us post meeting.
@OP don’t worry, I’m sure you will get your letter soon enough. You actually seem excited about it!
Pearson model is the core of this company, so many losers in management are former Pearson employees.
