Thread regarding Corinthian Colleges Inc. layoffs

Death by 1,000 cuts

"In Imperial China, convicted criminals were subjected to a particularly unpleasant form of execution called lingchi, which involved slicing a condemned man’s flesh multiple times until he was dead. This horrific form of old Asian justice gave rise to a commonly used Western phrase: death by a thousand cuts.

Publicly traded for-profit colleges, a group that includes ITT ESI and Corinthian COCO , are suffering a form of lingchi these days. "

201 - FYI, DS is trying to find out who has it in for him on thelayoff.com. I didn't have the heart, or the guts, to tell him that just about everyone who works for him thinks he's a little weasel.

184: When you talk about articles that are "just one side of the story, and the only ones salacious enough to make the news" do you realize that the link is to a Fortune article? Do you often try to compare established news sources to tabloids when you don't like the news?

55184: BS. You don't have work to do, you're a manager. And extra brownie points for making sure your post was good and sexist! I'll assume you work at Socle, since misogyny always makes KD so happy for some weird reason (ick, she is sooooo creepy!), but I wouldn't be surprised if you're a manager elsewhere. From what I've read on this site, we've got some real doozies all over the company. Making "a real, positive difference in the lives of thousands of students"? Please. If I take a guess at who you are and get it right, do I get a prize? If so, I'm going with Dave S.

Oh please, OP we can all read what those uninformed idiots post on the finance chat boards. One thousand cuts? More like 100 tourniquets to try to stop the bleeding and make payroll so that CCi can keep changing student lives. Be sure to look both ways when you are crossing the street, and don't come back. You are banned for plagiarizing fairy tales.

The same person is likely posting most of these negative messages, and she probably thinks she's pretty clever because she figured out how to set up alerts for every online news story regarding Corinthian. She doesn't realize that most employees have the same news alerts set up, and have already read all those articles. She is also likely either (a) a bitter, unemployed housewife, with no income of her own, or (b) a bitter, laid-off ex-employee, with no income of her own. In either case, she might consider giving up her unsuccessful, unpaid position as an Internet Troll and move on to more productive work. Like, I don't know - looking for a job? Because listen, Troll, those stories you're posting are just one side of the story, and the only ones salacious enough to make the news, and attract Internet Trolls like yourself. The other side is being written by hard work, hard, PAID work, by employees who are ignored by the media and will never make the news, but are making a real, positive difference in the lives of thousands of students. I'd love to stay and chat, but I have work to do.
