How is this company still running!
Holy c-ap I just got offered a job and it’ll the I talked to some of my old colleges that used to work here. Turns out it is a sham, lying, deceiving, cut off, on its last legs gasping for a bankruptcy. I’ve been told that they deceive teams while... — read more
Most dishonest company I have ever seen
I just turned down a manager position.Managers are required to lie or disinform employees about lay offs which are common. I was told that I’m going to have to dismantle 8 teams across several offices. When asked how they said for now tell them they... — read more
People leave bosses
People don’t leave jobs. They leave bosses. The men who have been promoted to leadership positions at CDK leave a lot to be desired. They can’t think for themselves and are constantly keeping their associates down. Don’t question why. JUST DO... — read more
Don't be so quick to leave CDK
I did, and I regretted it within a month. The job I moved to turned out to be completely different than what I expected - and completely different than what I was led to believe during the interview - and let's just say that managers leave a lot to... — read more

Layoffs again ?
Layoffs again ? i see people leaving are they asked to leave or forced to leave It has become hostile environment in CDK
BK took a good first step today
Rajiv's departure is long over due. Hopefully BK continues with Amy, and the rest of the worthless C-level people that were put in place by BMac.
How is Rajiv still the CTO??
Seriously... I’ve never worked with such a petty, unquestionably unqualified executive.. I’m sure there’s many other issues, but he can’t be helping the situation given his toxic, political gamesmanship... all that seems to be left in engineering are... — read more

VP Major Meeting with CTA’s in Norwood CVR
Not sure what’s going on, but the Vice President over CVR is meeting with all of the CTA’s tomorrow. They are actually shutting down the call center for an hour for this meeting which is highly unusual.
Good idea
So let's get serious. We know the products, the dealers, the market - there are now more of us with knowledge on the outside than on the inside most likely. I'll bet many have not signed a non compete and for those that did, they aren't forever... — read more

Tough calendar in 2019
Every $1 the stock drops now is $138,000 loss for BMc. If there is a weak Q2 (and I think it will be) I could foresee it falling another $5-7/sh before end of Q3. That is half the value it was just 9 months ago. Under the Accelerated Share Repurchase... — read more
Turned $15k into $11k
Big Mac managed to turn my FY17 Sales Equity bonus into $11k after just 12 months of his brilliant decision making. I was "awarded" $15k in August 2017 and now its worth $11k. In addition to the stress and pay cuts he managed to devalue my bonus by... — read more

CDK Digital Advertising
What is the scoop on this? Does GM now let their dealerships choose website provders? BK has said in interviews he wants to shift focus away from advertising. If I am in Seattle or Detroit will I continue to havea job?
New quarterly dividend of $0.15 / share! Woohoo!
As employee morale and customer loyalty/stickiness are swirling around the bottom of the bowl, the turds at the top are taking care of each other and financializing more. What a company!
CDK Global broke our spirits
Does anybody else on this board get the feeling that we are being overworked to a degree that borders with inhumanity? People are leaving the company left and right, as they realize that the pay at CDK Global has become a joke and as the benefits... — read more
CDK Global repurchasing $260M of stock next week / Cash purchase.
I guess CDK can't borrow this time, looks like enough debt already. Big Mac has to prop that stock up that has fallen almost 12% since the announcement of the new CEO.
CDK Board Member Lesile Burns
