Thread regarding 2U Inc. layoffs

With all due respect, given all that’s happened how are people so shocked with their layoff at this point? It’s been written on the wall for over a year, while your colleagues all get swept up group by group. You chose to ride it out. The grass really is greener. Trust those who’ve been through it.

@spu+1vPHODpk 2u cant afford real health insurance what makes you think they can afford an army of lawyers lmfao

Lol on what grounds

My lawyer said there still may be cause for a class action lawsuit. They did not discuss the warn act someone mentioned above.

An army of lawyers for everything it has to deal with? You mean the lawyers that were shorted in the bankruptcy settlement? Can you imagine all the enemies 2U has now?

I heard all of boot camps was let go so isn't that roughly about 120. Other departments didn't even know they're having an all company meeting next week to announce the layoff.

What shocking to me is the most recent all company call it seemed like everything was getting better I expected the layoffs with boot camps, in the summer not this time of year. They even talked about career pathing and merit increases coming back and then just to let all of us go in a 6 minute call it's BS.

2U has laid off 2000 people since 2022. The company probably uses an army of lawyers for everything it has to deal with. You got to think they know about the warn act and how to deal with it. After the 8th mass layoff you really think they forgot how prioritize the warn act?

Stop talking about WARN like you know how it works.

How about the promises that 2U and edX made to consumers about career services? And what about the private loans folks took out? Isn't that why the FTC and California AG are on us?

All these mo--ns have done for the past two years is layoff people and they STILL haven’t figured out how to effectively communicate impact to the company. What id--ts

I heard 120 people, and per the WARN act, they are short changing us on severance!!!
