What are your thoughts on today’s first Friday? I loved how CB gave a half a$$ed indirect answer to whoever asked if more layoffs were coming with this new consulting company coming in.

@th+1jr1bdtdx You have to be an old-timer to get it. MH used the word at one of his first town halls to describe a process and had to send an email apology to the entire company.
It’s all too real! I can’t handle it! AR I will always remember you when I hear the song “Peg”, because of that night you pegged me. Other than that wonderful sales meeting my last five years have been nerve racking!
Jeez, what is up with you all using the word retar*ed? How ignorant. There’s better words.
Greetings,
It is essential for employees to feel valued and have a voice. Cengage has a culture of disruption and rewards those who look at the challenges we face in the marketplace and ask why. From the highest-paid C-suite employee to the newly hired intern, each team member has the right and responsibility to propose new solutions to problems.
We are living in a time of global unrest, and the entire ed-tech industry is under attack by a rouge administration that is at odds with our core mission—to redefine how people learn. Thankfully, the steadfast leadership of management is prepared to navigate these challenges successfully.
It would be retar*** to think that there will not be some pain points as we better align our employees to meet our business needs, but let me be clear, the core business is strong!
Cengage has been on the bleeding edge of the ed-tech vertical since it first defined it, shaking loose the shackles of a traditional publishing concern. Initiatives like Cengage Unlimited and Project Horizon are seen as shining beacons of success throughout the industry while our competition struggles to keep up with the blitzkrieg of success and change!
Lastly, Cengage has been recognized by Glassdoor for the past five years as a best place to work.
The Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award is based solely on the input of current and former employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback by completing a company review about their job, work environment and employer on Glassdoor.
Full Stop!
Interest rates are lower! Now they can borrow more against the company!
The usual executive gobbledygook about how profits are increasing but nothing about how worker morale is in the toilet. Or how they removed the DEI position and initally only sent out that info in a specific Slack channel. Bending the knee and obeying in advance. So much for diversity and inclusion cenage. Corporate ethics my butt.
No one brings in consultants to increase headcount, and anyone who isn't planning to lay people off will happily tell you they aren't planning to lay people off. Dust off those resumes.
I don’t care anymore; wish they would just do it already put me out of my misery.
Layoffs are The Cengage Way. What a retar*** question!
