Thread regarding 2U Inc. layoffs

Lazy people all around.

Company is flooded with lazy people. Hours or days without chat or email responses. Are people working? Unprofessional and pathetic.

Not all people are treated equally. Nepotism with regard to Kaplan folks prevented me from getting me the same stock options that others with the same experience received. This is from someone who was there from the earlier days of Trilogy, and I worked very hard to get the company from a start up to growth phase. When I found out others received double the options, I planned my exit.

As an Individual Contributor (IC). Perhaps the company could save money laying off the worst performer from each team.

I feel bad for my manager. She/He works so hard with the partner and internal teams to make my job and my teams job do flawless. People complain a lot here. But need to take a step back and look at who all is helping them. And how good this org is.

Perhaps employees are burnt out rather than lazy? Managers should be boosting morale and encouraging positive outcomes in an appropriate manner. Instead, they are demanding super high, even unreasonable, expectations.

This company has such a toxic culture. Forcing employees to be slaves, have no autonomy, and fake that they like it is not going to save the company.

Employees beware. The company is desperate at this point to find a reason to fire tenured people because they can’t afford the severances of a layoff. They will suck you dry up until the very last moment.

Don’t blame the managers or sr level folks. Once another round of layoffs happens, they’ll discover drinking kool aid isn’t a transferable skill in the current job market.

They have less skills than ICs especially if they have been with the company for a while.

They’re non poachable or they would’ve had new jobs in 2022. Or maybe they tried but have no tangible wins to demonstrate. Oof, embarrassing!

Managers and directors are a bunch of young people who lack experience and do not know how to manage people or run programs. Many of them have superiority complexes and/or are sheep who follow orders from other incompetent people. All they actually do for their unearned six figure salaries is blame and micromanage individual contributors. This is why employee turnover is so high. This, is pathetic.
