Thread regarding Cengage layoffs

@15g Hi ELT. You should share your big feelings in all-company, if you’re so sure of this opinion.

Does leadership realize that we, the people who do not matter lord Apollo, mock leadership during each snd every call. It’s rich to watch people who take themselves so seriously look so stupid.

@14z Funny, do you think you will have a job longer than Cengage is in business? I doubt it. Cengage seems to be doing just fine even though you have declared the company as a complete failure. You are as d-mb as they come!

@145 Barbwire is the one who should be removed and reported for malpractice, d-mb a##. Cengage had shown that it doesn’t really belong.

@13t How stupid can you be? Every time you post garbage like this the post gets removed. Explains why you don't belong at a learning company since you don't seem to learn anything.

Big Barbwire is a hack and should be fired ASAP! This would bump morale. Full Stop 🛑

@ry True, hope you are enjoying yours at your level - Taco Bell is it?

@jm When pigs fly - call HR and resign.

@hz When will the payout happen, this year?

It is hard to believe that give moral in company is worst it has EVER been they would pull such a stunt a week before they would have been paid out. It is pretty clear at this point what they think of their workers. You can be sure the ET will be fat payouts.

@ez well said haha

@ef spoken like a true middle manager who wishes they were ELT. Keep licking those boots, hun.

@ef eff you. If bad people can’t get jobs, then why is the ET raking it in? I’m an awesome person in a cr-ppy situation. I do a great job, unlike trolls like you. I can complain as loud as I want about being underpaid and overworked.

A 5% bonus for documented high performers is pocket change to Cengage. This is worse than when Michael triumphantly said that we were getting a 6% bonus...and then followed that up with "for the 9 month fiscal year." So a 4% bonus for anyone who can do math. Cengage is a poverty wage organization.

@ee Maybe the market is just bad for bad people? Something for you to think about. People who spend their time on this site complaining vs. doing their job. Do your job and maybe you can find a new one.

@b0 IPS I wish your accurate corporate speak would make me smile as usual but everything is so bleak bleak bleak at Cengage right now. And we’re being told to feel grateful for the latest report. Credo!

And to trolls asking why don’t you just leave, easier said than done. Not everyone has that option and the job market is cr-p in general and in higher ed especially. It’s not like anyone WANTS to be here.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. 10+ years ago, someone messed up & calculated the targets wrong by leaving out an entire quarter. A lot of people who thought they hit were told in the final hour “whoops our bad. You’re not getting a bonus after all”

Greetings,

Making a positive impact on learners and educators should be reward enough. It has been shown that money is a poor motivational tool.

Working for an organization that values and properly allocates resources is reward enough for those motivated by ethnocentric values.
