Is this real life

Myself and others laid off yesterday have been contacted by 2U about returning to work Monday. Wtf

Let’s lay you off 1 day, ruin your life then try to offer reparations

Shoutout Chip celebrating his anniversary by laying off a quarter of the company.

They did this to people last time too (2022). People panicked and took lower salaries to return because they wanted a steady paycheck. If they hire you back, your severance is void, so the employees lost out on the severance pay that matched their old salary to take less. What a joke. Toxicity. Gaslighting. Abuse. Can't even stop once they've let you go.

They're doing it to people still there too. Making them beg to keep their job and offering less money if they want to keep it.

“You’re going to find out real soon that you’ve been working for organized criminals who’ve sentenced millions of clueless students to a lifetime of debt for a worthless degree. University isn’t turning out scholars, they’re planting woke ideologies in susceptible and naive minds, and if you’re slightly aware, you see how this is impacting economies.”

First, someone who preemptively says “downvote if you’d like” is deeply insecure with their own beliefs, because somewhere, they recognize they’re repeating talking points they heard on a podcast. They also know someone who is educated is likely to call them out.

I’d love to hear how you define “woke ideology” and which students have “susceptible and naive minds.”

But regardless, yes, the for-profit corporations putting students in debt are a problem. So are the universities and their leaders for enabling for-profit incentives to corrupt their public utility. The problem here isn’t the students or the professors, it’s consolidated power and wealth destroying the academic mission of the university. If you’re talking about how the U.S. economy is doing instead of how people are doing, well, they’ve captured your mind.

Wait... and what happens if you decline that offer to join as part of the acquired department? Are you at least given the option to accept the same severance package as everyone else?

The education landscape will soon be changing more radically than you can fathom. You’re going to find out real soon that you’ve been working for organized criminals who’ve sentenced millions of clueless students to a lifetime of debt for a worthless degree. University isn’t turning out scholars, they’re planting woke ideologies in susceptible and naive minds, and if you’re slightly aware, you see how this is impacting economies. Downvote this if you like, but ponder a few minutes first please.

Is that real? Was there an offer attached? Super confused (but maybe not even surprised at this point).
