Are you guys still doing 35 days per quarter? Disclosure: I work for a competitor and was just curious (comparing it with 5/wk that we have)

At least in my area. Anywhere else?

Used to work at 2U and left post emergence from bankruptcy. Obviously, this thread used to be jumping quite a bit back in the day during the more caotic and turbulent times. Curious for anyone that still works there, how are things going? Is it still... — read more

Just watched Cory Doctorow with Jon Stewart on the ensh**ification of tech and it reminded me so much of 2U and its "pivots" over the years. Doctorow explained that pivot is actually doublespeak for panic. Now how do we pivot?

"Constant restructuring and layoffs, forced return to office without enough desks for everyone, management decisions, lack of transparency, HR is completely disorganized, horrible health insurance, complete disregard for DEI." "After committing... — read more

Hi! I found my old laptop from this company laying around in the basement. What should I do with it? I'm sure they've written it off as a loss at this point, but not sure what else I can do with it either. It's company locked but working just fine.

Can't we just pretend we're ok, like the good old days? Get the flywheel effect back running?

What's your favorite Chip maxim?

They have been able to listen to us and our private moments without any notice. Doesn’t that have to be illegal.

The fall of 2U, once a poster child of education technology innovation, is a cautionary tale for investors, policymakers, and students alike. After riding a wave of optimism in the online education bo-m, the company declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in... — read more

How many of us were impacted in the 7/7 layoffs?

My exit date was 6/13. I was expecting a severance check this pay period (usually landed in my account on Thursdays). Didn't get it. Logged into workday and find the check for this period is $0.00. Emailed HR and Payroll, waiting for a response... — read more 

Anyone else get incredibly annoyed when they see people announcing that they got hired at 2U on LinkedIn? Or, another feeling is wanting to warn them.

Do I really need to go back into the office? Is there a way around this?

I was part of the batch of folks who got laid off in Jan 2024. I do not seem to have received any info from 2U regarding tax documents for my severance pay. Did other folks receive this/if not who would you recommend reaching out to?

Did anyone get a lawyer to look at their severance package before they signed it? Contemplating whether I should do that, but the package looks pretty standard.

The plan is to move everything to Cape Town and automate it, fyi. They are already actively doing this in the App Services dept. Just get ready for the fat to be trimmed even further.

How much severance was offered this round of layoffs today? I didn’t get layed off but worried that with this CEOs track record I won’t get severance pay.

Just curious! I can’t imagine there’s many of us left!

I saw that one of the software contractors was informed they will be no longer working at 2u at the end of the month. Does anyone know if there are more contractors being let go?

I hope you enjoyed the tree day weekend…

Just a little frustrated so I put that post title. Customer service is so unhelpful. I have credits for a micromaster on there (mitx statistics and data science) and they advertised that certain colleges have pathway agreements but I asked edx to... — read more 

With AI, is everyone expendable?

Has anyone successfully and voluntarily exited the company without having to pay back their tuition obligation with less than half a year left? I know there’s been a ton of discourse on this site but it doesn’t seem like there are any answers on this... — read more 

Get ready for next round of layoffs. This time possibly with no severance package. This new CEO does not feel that employees are entitled to one!
