Thread regarding 2U Inc. layoffs

Chips a drip

Dude would rather buy more suits of armor and abuse his IT teams instead of figuring out how to actual keep the lights on. What a joke. Being bought by 2U is a death sentence and it's the worst thing to ever happen to edX.

Where is Andrew Hermalyn in this? Is he still the one going around forming the university partnerships??

I think sales reports into Andrew Hermalyn (President, Partnerships) not Dobbs.

Or at least it did a year ago, could have changed.

That's true. But also, I don't need (or want) any one of them in my friends circle. I just want competent leadership back. It never really was with Chip. But once upon a time, he had better leaders in place. But not anymore.

Chip / Gab / Dobbs - none of them are your friend and none of them care about you personally.

Gab = Sales
Dobbs = seemingly Shifting Mirrors, Snake Oil Salesman type leadership

Because for the longest time, this company was thriving. When the sales department thrives, the company thrives. It was a well oiled machine and we all shared the $poils ( respectable bonus a few times per year, respect for and in the job, not as driven by d-mb metrics that conflict with each other - as we strive to get to the end goal - strong students, strong campus relationships, company events/celebratory mood or "culture").
And then came Dobbs, and POOF!

Like him or not, Gab is the guy who used to run admissions/sales from @ the start of the company.
He was replaced (a couple of years ago) by Dobbs. And the result of the destruction of the sales department seems to be a direct result of Dobbs' incompetence.

Worst thing to happen to Trilogy, too. I used to love my job. 2U changed it into a toxic dump.

It seems as though they're slowly trying to scrub away the 2U name and fuse the remaining bits into edX.
