The story keeps going and going. I read something today that blamed BB&T, oh yeah it was the website www.computertraining. Edu. I've worked in the banking industry and one thing is true, when a bank shuts you down, THEY SHUT YOU DOWN TODAY no questions asked. They padlock doors, shut off utilities, cease everything! There is no wait 3 or 4 days and let employees come back in. There is no go back and clean out office - NO! Oh and by the way, banks were not open on christmas day! Although I've noticed CTC changed the website to read Christmas eve, its BULLS*T!
The bank is involved because upper management committed fraud, have lied, and are now scrambling trying to cover things up! They stole millions of dollars, closed schools, laid of employees with no explanation, and are now running scared. This is another ENRON in the making... Don't believe everything you hear and instead do some fact finding!
Its truly funny to read these comments especially since I'm not sure how many people actually have any idea what they're talking about... Here are the facts...
I worked to CTC for 3 years - loved my job in the beginning and not until I was asked to go against the very things I believed in, did a problem present itself. For the record, I WALKED OUT when I was asked to lie to students, to cover up situation or to smile if everything was ok. I worked in CORPORATE, I looked Curtis Hickman in his face everyday. I talked to Chuck Lang, Jerry Collins, Donna Hutchison, Deanne Brezicki, and David Rau. I sat in closed doors meetings with them as they discussed raising tuition, giving students less, asking Directors to work more, and pushing the call center to turn against each other for $25. Those are the facts...
I know for a fact, that Donna lied to state boards, hid information, and asked her workers to do her dirty work. I know Curtis made many comments about feeling like he was going to hell because of the things he's done but didn't have a choice. I know for a fact that Deanne & Curtis had a sexual relationship even though she "reported" to him and now have a kid together. Was supposed to get married...
I know that Chuck took joy in firing people, sent DOA's emails daily blaming them for what the company wasnt able to do. I know they spent money on airplanes, buying students pizza every night, stayed at top end hotels for no reason, all on a corporate card.
I know David gave out $20k Christmas presents, and those listed above made money off of students they knew wouldn't succeed. I sat in the meeting the day we discussed usacomplaints.com and Donna said it was a bunch of bs. I know they spent THOUSANDS of dollars trying to find a way to stop this site from producing information about the school.
Chuck take a pay cut... Thats bs! But I will tell you that the day David was going to fire him, he begged like a baby and said he would take a pay cut but would also do ANYTHING to keep his job... So David made him do ANYTHING! They knew months ago about BB&T coming in to close the doors. They were given until the end of the year to get things together and when they didn't the $h! T it the fans.
The facts... Donna, Chuck, Curtis were in Hunt Valley on Monday (1/4/10) "moving files" and furniture! Those are facts! Facts: Those listed throughout got paid and are in no hurry to file unemployment...
To the students that were told the B. S line about stimulus money... (so sad)! No stimulus money was used, that was their way to cover up that tuition had changed 5 times in the last year. They knew you'd ask why each person in the class paid a different price. But don't feel too bad, when I started there tuition was $24,500 and increased to $25725, and increased, and increased to almost $30k. Which is why they never wanted to take Title IV funding - they would have to answer too many questions.
Recent news is that CTC made the decision to close and the only reason BB&T ceased accounts is because they didn't know CTC had closed schools previously! Now BB&T is even more involved sinced they've been lied on... THIS IS A MESS!!! Who is telling the truth? Who is lying?
FACTS: Students lost big - it will take a while for this to be figured out.
FACTS: Employees are owed 3 weeks pay because CTC is a pay period behind. Employees will loose vacation and benefits. They may not be eligible for cobra and some may not qualify for unemployment because "the company" stoped paying a long time ago!
Facts: EVERY DOG HAS THEIR DAY, and if I were David, Jerry Collins, Curtis, Deanne, Chuck, or Donna I'd move soon. I hope they all get charged with FRAUD and have to feel the pain that they've put so many through!
Call them, here are their numbers!
Curtis Hickman: 443-742-2712
Donna Hutchison: 302-236-3331
Chuck Lang: 410-375-7531
David Rau: 727-599-9050
Make them answer for the decisions they made! I'm sorry that so many people were burned by this company. I wish there was someone willing to come in and teach out the classes, give students a real education and re-hire some of the great employees.
Good Luck to all...
