I believe this board was formed for those that have been laid off by CCI. Or have I been deceived once again? Somehow over many months it has become a place for those STILL employed, STILL collecting a paycheck, with no dramatic life changes. It has become place for the employed to bitch, whine, complain, post derogatory statements, anonymously trash their peers, play, entertain themselves, correct spelling and grammatical errors, comment on stock prices, speculate, congregate, and just generally...vent. I get it. Now move aside...my turn. When I came to work for this company many years ago I put all of my eggs into their basket. I trusted that my hard work and dedication meant something. I trusted, followed every directive given, because that is what excellent employees do...do they not? I had questions and voiced them but my questions were soothed in the way that corporate does. To those of you left behind by CCI...how are you feeling after all of your dedication has been thrown aside so lightly? Severely Jaded? Are you still healing from their mess which only seems to have impacted YOUR life but few others?

OP..And you wonder why you got laid off...dumbass
Any company is not run for the employee's benefit. We are all just cogs in the wheel. The quicker all of us that are still here the better. I'm in IT here as well and will be leaving as soon as I get a better job offer. I have no faith in ECMC running a crippled ship that they have NO experience steering.
Trust me, OP, still being here has been no picnic! You don't say when you left, but management has just gotten more and consistently worse year after year (month after month this last year). All the good ones are gone, and that most certainly impacts our lives.
OP, First rule of business: never expect to be appreciated.
MY TURN - According to the instruction of this site.... "Post information you know, rumors you heard, your experiences, or contribute to the discussion by answering or asking about layoffs at (company)". There are no limits as to who posts, whether employed or laid off.
989 - your experience identifies why CCi is in such trouble - Holding faculty accountable to retention benchmarks fosters the erosion of academic standards. In essence, there is no product to sell. Shame on CCi leadership.
In all honesty CCI was moving in this direction, servicing and non-profit schools since 2013. The DoE stuff just moved it along quicker. Business is business and if I don't agree with management or company performance I leave. I am in IT so my chances of being retained is very high but if they change my salary I will sign the offer and look for another job while employed. It is our responsibility to do what is best for ourselves. No company is going to do that for me
This board is also for employees that may soon be getting downsized.
OP-968 I feel the same. Having made a career change to enter in to education. I initially was given great training and guidance. The support was just a phone call or email away and always received as the way it should be. I put every effort I could to be the best Instructor I could. When the money grab started it all changed. The CP, DOE, ADOE and even the DC advise me to soften my requirements so more students received passing grades. Even after explaining that the employers I spoke with who visit the campus for the PAC meetings needed employees to be able to walk the walk and talk the the talk. And that this is what I was told to do when hired in order to prepare the student for his new career. The end result is I am no longer with CCI. I feel terrible that so many students will not be able to get a job because the are unprepared.
OP, I just want to thank you for your post. Your honesty is a refreshing change of pace around here.
I'm totally bummed and sad that we are left behind - no words make me feel better - the words seem to only sting worse and make me bitter - pisses me off that my job is in jeopardy because others didn't play by the rules - if I had done something then I would be more understanding but I'm scared and I'm pissed and yeah, I'm still here hoping for the best.
