Blimey, textbooks are a bit of a dodgy affair, aren't they? I mean, they're like the grumpy old uncle of the educational world - outdated, a bit too full of themselves, and prone to putting you to sleep faster than a warm pint on a Sunday... — read more 

Notice one VP was let go, yet he doesn’t need to worry much since his spouse also brings in a Cengage VP stake. Perhaps all justifications for positions, including executives, should be shared with all, including us ham and eggers who are without a... — read more

“People are not here just for the money, but I do think money is an important part of being rewarded for the work that you do.”

Are we expecting more layoffs in the coming months? Morale couldn’t be lower. What can we expect to happen next?

Greetings, I want to begin by congratulating our former colleagues who have decided to transition into a management role by transitioning to CEO. While you may feel somewhat unsure in your new role, I would urge you to think back on the many... — read more

There’s an ‘update’ meeting Friday at 10. Not Cengage wide but within Gale.

I have not heard anything about this and have not met with my manager to talk about any changes. What is going on???????

So much for remote-first, eh? I moved away from Boston during the pandemic. My kids are settled in school up here. I can’t just pick them up and move back. I also can’t afford to.

Well, I just received a letter from Cobra telling me I am newly enrolled in this health insurance coverage. Before being told I am laid off. I guess that’s a sloppy way to hear about it.

Spring is here and change is on the Horizon!

There have been a few fake IPS accounts but where i the real IPS to give an analysis? They are always spot on.

Has anyone else heard about this? Heard this from someone not employed with the company but in industrial real estate.

im just at my wits end. aside from being on edge about being laid off any given Thursday, CPI has just straight up stopped responding to my emails and, for the third time this month, left us on the hook for digital products THEY were supposed to... — read more

50+ employee were laid off last week. So yes. Can somebody please provide more info on this? I haven't heard of any layoffs last week. What was hit?

Am I the only one feeling like the course leads are going to be the only content managers left by the end of project horizon? Idk it just feels like layoffs in content creation will happen again this year.

Does anyone answer this truthfully or try not to submit it? Anyone else afraid of retaliation? Definitely not "voluntary" or "anonymous".

A reshuffling of the C-suite but no cuts in the C-suite. An addition to the C-suite. The company will eliminate redundancy that may have existed between businesses and functions. Full stop!

So I've been hearing from a variety of people that their 1:1s with managers are mysteriously getting rescheduled due to "conflict" and other managers are entirely unavailable. Looks like it's starting.

Does this mean layoffs incoming?
