Cengage morale is in the tank, the inequality and favoritism among the ranks is palpable, and people are tired of the gaslighting. So, with that, what are the odds BE loses their job as the first of a few scapegoats? Personally, I hope BE is fired... — read more
Just wondering…
Do any other current employees enjoy it when they see yet another brilliant coworker find a seat on a lifeboat and join the exodus of capable competent professionals out of this disaster of a company? It feels weird to be rooting against a company... — read more

This Monday, March 16th we will be wearing black to the office to support the formation of a union for Cengage employees. Union cards will be available soon. Spread the word! The days of Cengage employees being marginalized are OVER!
upward feedback
Wondering if I should even do this (non-compulsary) feedback on my boss, as I'm struggling to think of anything good. Since I've had this boss, its been nothing but chaos, no listening, and I am just at the point where I want this to end
Unionization at Cengage
Given the ongoing layoffs, offshoring, and role creep, would you support a union for Cengage employees?
Another Slate article, this one general but applies to cengage firings
"More than anything, hushed-up departures are nearly always a hallmark of management that’s fully disconnected from workers’ day-to-day realities. The idea that employees wouldn’t need to know about the departure of colleagues they rely on is so... — read more

No Soul
Cengage is no longer about education, but is a troll-like business: a business acquired by private equity that’s being stripped to the bone before its next greedy move. US employees be damned.
Incompetent Leadership is Thin Skinned
The last post about the incompetence of Cengage Ivy League “leadership” must have struck a nerve since it was removed. The truth hurts.

ANZ is cooked
WTF ..? What is this "leadership team"? How are these people who are so inept able to keep their jobs? Is there something we don't know about? What do I need to do to be able to just flail around meaninglessly, so I can get my monthly pay until I... — read more

Cengage Engagement Summit
It’s been a while since I have gotten any good sales meeting stories. How was this years meeting? A lot of the same thing? Heavy drinking and useless breakout sessions? Post comment or if there were any talk of layoffs?
Awful Sales Support
Cengage has the best Sales Disablement team in EdTech. What a joke!
Happy Holidays!
Greetings, As we gather to remember the National Day of Mourning, I want to make an announcement that should excite and invigorate the Cenforce almost as much as a hot yoga session. As we enter the holiday season, many of you will receive the gift... — read more
Cengage Uses Ed Tech/Publishing as a Front
Anyone else feel like Cengage is just pretending to the be in the business of publishing/ed tech at this point? What I mean is that the business of producing educational materials is just a front or a facade to conceal the real focus of the... — read more

higher ed
pretty sure Cengage are jettisoning higher ed given the people they are making redundant
7 Content Program Managers (CPgM) will be hired
Does this mean all other CMs and CCMs will be let go?
The one thing Cengage leaders need to know…
You have lost the trust of your employees. From the brand new college grads you hired all the way to the long tenured employees. It’s toast.
Is there an actual department dedicated to coming up with ways to make it harder to sell?
Geeeez…. What are these awful changes all the time?
Is anything working?
I get at least one incident notification a day that MindTap, Cengage eReader, Ed2Go, or E-commerce platforms are down.
Leadership Arrogance
The hubris of Cengage leadership is responsible for the current dysfunction and fear that pervades the organization. They are shameless. What do I know, I went to a state school.
What is my job?
So, I'm planning to ask what my new job description should be, given that the one I signed onto has changed significantly. This should be fun
HR Communications False Advertising
I’m LMAO at the latest HR emails. Aww, dear leaders do care about our wellness, that is until they outsource us.

Micromanaging is Happening
The heat is on, folks. Applying for jobs as I am learning how we are being micromanaged. Dear leaders are scared about numbers.
