Svantaggi
Over the past five years, I've witnessed significant changes in both leadership and company culture. When I joined, the organization was deeply focused on education, with students, teachers, and school leaders at the center of every decision. The former CEO often described the company's philosophy as "conscious capitalism," emphasizing both mission and business success. Unfortunately, that culture has shifted. The company increasingly resembles other large education publishers where growth and profitability appear to take precedence over people and educational outcomes. All current executives come from industries outside of education, and the difference in priorities is noticeable. One of the company's greatest strengths has always been its relationships with districts, educators, and school leaders. We built trust by investing additional time and support to ensure successful implementations, not simply product sales. Customers consistently appreciated that commitment. Recent decisions, however, have placed growing pressure on employee-facing teams. Per diem Education Consultants have experienced multiple rounds of compensation reductions over the years. After previous cuts and layoffs to non-educator facing roles, per diem consultants are now facing larger reductions that effectively decreases earnings by approximately 20% or more. At the same time, upper management continues to expand, and more work is being shifted to lower-cost teams overseas. The message many employees hear is: work harder, accept less compensation, and be grateful to still have a job. Morale has suffered as a result, and many talented employees are choosing to leave. Growth is important, but educational success is not measured solely by the number of schools or districts using a product. What matters most is the quality of implementation and the impact on educators and students. That focus once defined this company. Today, it feels increasingly lost.
