I'm Anxious, Nervous , and basically dreading this meeting more than the others. Vegas in July is the 1st Red Flag. SO many new faces. New Managers, New Team members, etc... I'm just going to close my eyes and click my heels and hope to wake up in Kansas.
I will just Pray.
Cengage no longer does the National meeting in December in Arizona or texas. They have moved it to Summer .... and we fly out there next week. We are staying at The Venetian because it is owned by the PE - Apollo. And it just so happens, Apollo who use to own McGraw until the sold to PE- Platinum Equity, McGraw will also be in Vegas holding their national meeting at the same time. Could they be plotting of sell to one another? Investment? The merger failed a few years ago, so maybe they are just going to see if Platinum will buy some of this failing company when they go public? There is something happening.... No way we are both in vegas the same days just by chance.
What is the Vegas meeting? Asking for an ex employee (me haha)
Two directors left last week alone. People are leaving one at a time. It's a mess everywhere.
I know more people who have departed the company in the past 3 years than current employees. Hopefully I can just smile and go unnoticed in Vegas.
