Thread regarding Zenith Education Group layoffs

Hawn is nothing but a F$#%ing liar

"I wish Kim Dean would stay forever" - BULLSHIT! You fired her and rightfully so. She has made bad decision after bad decision after bad decision. She has let go talented people and protected illiterates like Michael Holmes and a bunch of others that kiss her ass. Her strategy has led you to face a revenue must situation with Kieth Burkhalter and Jill Cochran as your admission leaders (don't know how to break this to you Davey Boy, but neither one of them have ever been in admissions). You allowed Kim Dean to go on with her circus way too long and now you have cost hundreds of people their jobs. You have to be the worst judge of people I have ever seen:

Troy and Mike - enough said there

Kim Dean, qualified to be a financial aid representative at best and you have her running the entire show

Karen Turner, does not even have a college degree - really Dave? She acts like she just came out of rehab and could not tell you anything about our schools because she is too lazy to visit them

Josh and Heidi, almost as comical as Troy and Mike - only they have done much more damage than Troy and Mike

Your arrogance and amateur level of leadership are so plain for everyone to see. It is obvious that have no idea what to do and yet you sit in MN, blaming everyone except yourself. When the ship is sinking, the captain owns it. When a professional sports team is failing, they fire the coach.

In closing Dave, I want to recognize the strategy of you and your team. No revenue. poor outcomes,low morale and what do you do.....Fire all the campus leaders who have been holding it together for you, promote campus directors sight unseen, terminate all of your RVPO's and put junior level people over multiple sites. You Dave are a moron!

Oh, by the way Dave, while I hate what you have done to this organization, I will gldly continue to take that check every two weeks until you run out of money .

Wait a minute. Did you say Turner does not have a degree? How can that be, we are an educational company? We are pushing the DOEs into Pres roles, Mary O'sh-- has a PHD (Pompous Hypocrytical and Demeaning ) how can it be that we have one among us with no post secondary sheepskin? Are there more like this? Yawn are you aware? Did you run it by the independent monitor? Oh wait, nix that one. Can't the Innovations Lab just grant her one, we seem to be granting everything else. Someone get Abby's daddy on the phone, he will fix it.

Gotta love it when someone says "my educated opinion," only to follow up with "your spot on."

Remember what everyone was saying when the news went out that ECMC was taking over the schools, why would the DOE agree to the sale to a company that has absolutely no experience running schools? Many people that are experts in the field of post secondary education said it was a receipt for failure. It would have been different if they schools were doing tremendous and ECMC was just taking over ownership, but the schools were already under water and losing millions. Dave Hawn doesn't know crap about running an education business and no one with any experience and knowhow will work for this company because it may be too late to save it. If Zenith Education Group survives it will be much smaller than it is now, may with 10-15 Everest campuses and 1 WyoTech campus.

Over 13 years in this industry with three different schools and my educated opinion is that your spot on! He does read these post. I know this because he talks about it at every call and meeting he's been at. Glad to be done with this place.
