Thread regarding 2U Inc. layoffs

$500 severance? Hahaha

I’m sure it’ll come with an NDA. No way is that enough money to buy my silence. I’ll be shouting from the rooftops on LinkedIn and Glassdoor about what a sham their bootcamps are.

Over the past few years, I’ve watched them completely eliminate all admission standards to the point where 95% of the students I’ve worked with will never qualify for a job in software engineering. They can’t even understand basic JavaScript concepts when they’re done. And it’s not for lack of trying on the instructional side.

$500 was for part-timers. full-time employees got 3 weeks +2 weeks/year of service. not that part-time people should be treated so badly either, of course.
