Thread regarding CDK Global Inc. layoffs

Is BK destroying the culture of CDK like he did at Intel?

Intel is still trying to claw its way out of the mess BK created. He was in charge of the single worst process technology ramp in the company's 50 year history, and sold all his available stock months before delays were recognized internally and broadcast to the street. As if this incompetence wasn't sufficient, he fired 12k folks in the same year he hired 12k folks, with normalized data that showed the older you were, the more likely you were to get fired.

It is a huge relief to have BK gone, I wish legally there was a way to claw back the insane compensation he earned while destroying Intel for years to come.

Is he doing the same at CDK, simultaneously create a toxic culture with endless layoffs while setting the stage for major mis-execution? It takes a special skill to do both so well.

The culture improved under BK so far. Nothing evil or hateful since he got here. He also went out of his way to avoid pulling the layoff trigger like almost everyone else did when the 'rona hit last year.

At Intel he is likely still hated, but not here.

He's nowhere near as bad as the rest of the a--hats we've had at the helm over the past 30 years. From an alcoholic pos who had a bar in his office, to a narcissitic henchman to people who were more concerned about a private jet than running the company, every last one of them has sucked in ways that make BK look like a savior.

The previous CEO was a veritable axe mu-----r who oversaw mass layoffs, offshoring, and even layoffs in the offshore offices. After him BK was seen as a redeemer. He can redeem his own reputation if he helps CDK navigate the transition from the traditional dealer model. Whether he will or not remains to be seen. For employees the future could be bright or bleak.
