Thank you to all of the associates for generating 68,000 w2 pay slips - now we are going to lay you off. We need to double down????? Smh
How does he do it? How does he, and the others, talk with a straight face? How do they sleep at night? Are they that disconnected?
I wonder if Kathleen Winters is realizing that she sold her soul to the devil and now is stuck in all of the corruption? She looks miserable.

Sadly, 30 yrs had it correct. ADP did a lot of us a favor. And as Post ID: @1odp+13uvogrs said, adding an Outlook meeting to your calendar and being blindsided with a conference call involving strangers seems to be a preferred mode. I also had the meeting added to my calendar and a conference call, though I was scolded for being late, when previously it had been understood that helping clients often could make you late for a meeting. But then I realize that for this meeting Mgt and HR person's time was important. Mine time was not. I also had 30 plus years and though not being wanted was shocking, forced retirement turned out to be a godsend.
13uvogrs: That is what I see as well, word for word, having worked for ADP almost 30 years and then being booted out for earning too much money. Yes, laser focus on shareholders only, and s*** for the employees. Strange, even imbecility in ADP's behaviour since it is the employees that make the company great and allow the shareholders to accrue the full potential of a well managed company.
And for the posters who try to discount anything that is said against ADP as "negativity", "sour grapes", or "anger", that is not true in my case. ADP did me a favor by getting rid of me as I am successfully retired and don't have to sweat it out any more working for ADP. I am finally enjoying life.
The growing trend is to move jobs offshore and replace aged workers with younger and less expensive ones. Years ago, if you had less than 10+ with the company, you were considered a newbie. And, there were only a few back-end tasks being handled offshore. Now, the percentage of employees with more than 5 years in the company is far less than those with less than 5 years. And the number of offshore employees far exceeds those in the US. It's become painfully clear that the company people once spent their entire careers working for and even bringing in their family members to work for, isn't the same company anymore. The culture and character of the company has been lost, instead becoming laser focused on shareholders only, no matter the human cost to those whose backs the company was built upon.
"Win as One" is indeed c*ap. But from my experiences working for this dysfunctional company, top management doesn't care what employees think. Employees don't count for anything. So the wacky show goes on while the audience laughs. It isn't supposed to be a comedy, but it is.
No new technology being created by ADP, it is a Company that leverages technology, period.
No - not announced at town hall meeting. OP was being sarcastic. It amazed me as well that he can be so delusional to think employees buy his Win as One c-ap still
That’s pretty pathetic this company is still slashing jobs even after they built all of those mega centers to consolidate smaller offices around the country. Sounds like a non stop sinking ship with no long term future.
Were layoffs announced at the town hall meeting? If so, where and what groups affected? When I got laid off the meeting on my Outlook calendar was listed as a town hall meeting. Showed up and there was HR and our VP whom I had never seen in person before. Good grief!!
Yes- sorry typo. 68 million w2s. Kathleen Winters is the CFO. She replaced that Jan guy.
Where online did you read about the overseas ADP bankruptcy?
I read online that everything is being sold, money placed overseas (that's why Mexico, phillippines and India). That is after everything sold. Then going bankrupt. Isn't that illegal ?? Not my thoughts, read online.
I think ADP still prints in excess of 68 million W2’s still not 68,000; probably just a typo.
What role is Kathleen Winters in?
Thanks
is "digital transformation" the new "synergy" ? A term that has no meaning and is used to obfuscate the reality for clients and employees?
I can't see how huge layoffs on product and development teams can happen at same time as "digital transformation".
There is so much BS being presented. Reality is financials are struggling. Retention is down, especially in NAS. And same for sales, revenue and margin. Reasons are simple.... They say ADP wants to be a tech company - but they are not. And when you are a tech player, clients can switch easily based on tech alone. Service is what made ADP special and why clients stuck around. Now clients are leaving because they can't get service. I was a a lunch table with bunch of NAS clients last year at MOTM and 4 of 5 expressed desire to leave ADP as they can't get basic things fixed and their long time service contracts are gone.
