There are a number of repeated comments, such as "get a job, just to pay Sallie Mae," "fuck you Sallie Mae," "Sallie Mae is the biggest hoe," etc., etc. Since I am seeking originality in this thread of tweets about Sallie Mae, many of those tweets have been removed from the lists collected. However, I still think it is important to post the repetitive comments - that helps the reader see a pattern. Interestingly, such comments as the ones just mentioned will be picked up and RT-ed by others. That's the nature of Twitter of course, especially when a particular tweet is perceived as cleverly sardonic, witty, funny, etc. Many will RT the remark and add something simple like, "LOL," or "I fuckin hate her too!." Women and men both refer to Sallie Mae - for obvious reasons - as a woman. The terms used are almost always derogatory. She is, as I stated already, referred to as a hoe, a whore, a bitch, etc. Many also express the desire to kill her.
Many have argued that when a product, a company, or whatever is blasted on the Internet, it does not present the most accurate picture of how that thing is really perceived. That is because many believe that the Internet is a place where unhappy people go to voice their complaints about things. There is certainly truth in that. However, when it comes to social media, especially Twitter, the emotions expressed are remarkably mixed. One finds tweets that are joyous and excited. Other tweets are completely neutral (particularly when coming from news outlets and such). There are, naturally, tweets that express angry and sadness. I have been hard pressed to find tweets about Sallie Mae that possess a positive tone.
Based upon the sampling I have collected so far, it seems easy to conclude that Sallie Mae is reviled by those who tweet about "her." So what does that say about the company's reputation? If it is such a despised company, why is it still in business? Oftentimes, a company that is hated will fail. Is that not the case with Sallie Mae? Maybe it's their cozy relationship with the Department, and their campaign donations . . .
In any event, here's the next bundle of tweets. Enjoy!

I have a friend who is being harassed at her own door by men being sent from iowa student loans. Is this legal, and if not, what are good resources I can look into to send her so she at least knows her rights? I'm not sure where to start looking, and I need to, as I have much to look forward to in the next six months.
Thanks!
Sallie Mae is not going to out of business b/c they have a sweetheart deal with the government. They service, originate loans and the method in which it is processed is wrong. The Dept of Education has an "outline" of the protocols but the material issues are omitted. What does this mean? It's license to misrepresent, defraud or mislead. The language and policy that is recited in Dept of Ed is not worded well and tightly- It's license to give leeway for Sallie Mae. Write to your congress. Also, check out POPVOX...and there is a bill before Congress on student loans. your opinion goes directly to Congress and the Senate.
