Thread regarding Zenith Education Group layoffs

You obviously do not know jack. I sat in many of meetings where he could have done what was right for the shareholder and elected to do what was right for the student. Jack has more integrity in his little toe than Hawn has in his whole body. Jack is smarter than the entire executive team at EMC combined.

I'm a current and was a past CCI employee. Jack cared about the students? Are you for real? Because maybe he said that to you? The same employees he called idiots because they had questions and concerns when they reduced our pay and furloughed us? That Jack?

You are a moron! Anybody who knows or has met Jack Massimino knows that he cared more about student outcomes on his worst day than that piece of garbage Dave Hawn does on his best day. If Dave had an ounce of dignity he would shut this sh-- hole down and do what is right. Instead, he continues to take advantage of the underprivileged and our vets. A diploma from Everest or Wyotech is useless in the industry today - do what is right Dave!

Give super Dave a little credit, he has figured out how to dip his hand in the pocket of his own governments money. Vet money. Young Vets old vets any vet that has money hanging they call them. Plus if most of your teachers are vets it will be a tax break. As long as the student likes the teacher you have a job. Its very simple. The only real problem is the currency of the teachers. Its a new age and you tube is the most recent training aid. Its money kids, money and greed, this is what makes the world work. The new equipment goes to the squeaky wheel. The more the wheel complains the more it gets oiled. There is new equipment around but it went to the least competent and least skilled teachers so they could still look good meanwhile the rest of them fixed what one could not. Its called marketing, to get more 9000.00 signatures on the paper to take the class. 4400.00 for a class that you could read a 35.00 book on. Although you do get a certificate printed in a back office that means nothing at the end of the day. I am going back to my cube now and look out the window, hoping to be saved. Smile and dial, keep the glass half full and your blood pressure stable.

Dave Hawn is a hack. The government has taken over banking industry through legislation. Dave has been the opportunity by the DOE to clean up the dirty mess left by Jack Massimino and others before him. The DOE is controlled by rich people including politicians and lobbyists. Dave is providing a service to the government because he is tight with the administration as an advisor and a hack. All the little people can get back to work and keep paying their loans back with interest because that's how the machine works under Socialism. How do you like it. Does Socialism make you feel good now? Do you all have equality? Yes, you do, keep paying the man. Dave, BOA, and politicians need your money. get back to work or look for another job if you've just been RIF'd.

One thing Hawn has forgotten is that employees and students are REAL people with REAL lives

@ImPHTE9-1qxl......Your comments are a joke.

Hawn is gradually taking the whole company down the tubes. He knows nothing about operating schools (man is that an understatement)!!

Oh i get it now, you must be one of his lackeys.

I was wondering how Hawn looks at himself in the mirror each morning? Then it hit me, he has been in the business of screwing over students for years. Your legacy is one you can be proud of Hawn.

Dave Hawn is a hero to the federal government, not the students or employees. You said he "saved" the livelihoods of employees, how about the 70% of them he kicked to the curb? You said he offered the students "refunds", only if your program of study was being eliminated. For the thousands of other students they had no choice but to continue or drop out without a refund. You asked why people stayed as long as they could, it's because they believed in what they were doing would make a difference and had hope that Hawn would save the schools and turn them around, something they found out was only a fantasy. You ask why people that are still there have not left, some have and most would for the right opportunity because working for Zenith Education today is the same as working for CCi in 2014. No one has respect for the leadership team and everyone is on pins and needles wondering when their time is up. Dave Hawn is NO hero, he is a ruthless snake that couldn't care any less about you or your family.

You forgot to mention the assistant deans, they are the worst. One recently got moved to training and what a worthless employee. They should eliminate the AD's and safe money.

"David is a hero" - laughable. The ONLY reason he bought these schools is because the DOE asked them to so the DOE would not have to pay millions and millions back in student loans if all the schools closed. And, they agreed in order to keep their nonprofit status once all the loans they serviced aged out. They will get down to less than a dozen schools only to save their sorry overpaid nonprofit asses. What smart business group would ever abide by what's going on? They'll NEVER recoup their loses. Please see this is a major, and unfortunately legal scam put on between ECMC and the DOE. He does not give a rats assabout you or the students. Karen, lady VP for placement, get a friggen degree so you even if you can't act smart at least you can pretend your educated. I'm sure you can use the employee tuition benefit. Education is a powerful tool, you should try it some time. And, oh by the way your "presentation" at the first (and last) Pres/DOE meeting was embarrassing. Demonstrative of your lack of education and please with all the money your making, buy the other half of your dress so it will at least reach your knees. You looked way unprofessional.

Dave Hawn is a hero. He took Everest and WyoTech when they were falling fast. He took a calculated chance, along with the Board. They saved livelihoods and our students (who were given a choice to stay or go with refund).

If you are a current employee, why are you here? If you were let go, I will bet you held on as long as you could. If neither, you really don't have room to talk.

If things are so corrupt, why did you stay?

Hawn is like a cat playing with a half dead mouse.

Dear OP:

Looks like my plan is working perfectly. Thanks for noticing. Now, get back to work.

Yours truly,

Dave

Well said OP, well said.
