Thread regarding 2U Inc. layoffs

Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

The uncertainty about what comes next is stressing me out, making it difficult to concentrate. I'm committed to the success of this place, but the almost worthless stock ( lost over $30,000. I know I am not the only one and financial losses are making it crucial for me to understand the future. I'm trying my best and need clarity. I hope we get it this month from leadership. I don’t know how promoting some leadership into even higher positions, with higher pay, is going to solve the debt problem 2U has.

I mean Harsha is out and that’s a pretty good chunk of change. Also- no one above Director level got bonuses last year and likely won’t this year. If people did get them at lower levels it was to keep them happy- not bc we qualified under contract bc company did not hit or exceed targets and technically there shouldn’t be bonuses if it doesn’t. 70% is high- but that’s zero if we don’t pull out of this. Also- there hasn’t been a “the buck stops here” role for either segment for way too long - meaning it’s all just been finger pointing. When everyone leads, no one does. Whether it’s worth the money or not- I’m happy to see leadership create in some accountability at the highest levels.

Unionize! This levels the playing field for the grunt workers.

I’ve been stressed about the shoe dropping since the last round of layoffs. But leaders will dance around the fact that more layoffs are coming and basically say su-k it up

Professional grifters at work. Anyone who’s an underling at 2U or a stockholder is a chump. The clock is ticking for this place.

Both are eligible for up to 70% of their base pay in bonuses. Thoughts?

It's so stressful. I'm an AC that has been here for enough raises that I make over 85k. Where tf am I supposed to go if I get laid off? Not sure what job I can get in this market that will give me a competitive offer.

Do you have a link to the SEC filing for the new hires?

I couldn't agree more. I was very disheartened to read the SEC filing and the salaries/bonuses for Andrew and Aaron. It's like salt in the wound. I can't even get a 60K/year head approved.
