Haven’t heard anything as of today August 27.
There are August layoffs hsppening.
@3n8 what’s the APAC update?
@44q APAC = Asia-Pacific.
a very common abbreviation used in global business context
@44q Asia-PACific = APAC
India, China, Australia, Japan, etc.
Not West Coast US!
What is APAC ?
@3vt Exactly the reason why the customer satisfaction score took a nosedive because UKG laid-off many knowledgeable employees. We have not recovered from it yet now come another round of layoff.
@2mv Yikes. Pro has never recovered from the layoffs PRIOR to the ones last summer. Too bad they don't want to actually train their own employees to use the product ...
July, August?
Just got an email about an APAC team update. All HR vps and execs. It’s happening.
Honestly, run away from this company ! We were laid off at the end of last year in France, and life has been great ever since… Since I left UKG, I feel better, and life is beautiful.... :-)
@2kc Wow, again? Pro got cut deep last year.
I am expecting impacts in Pro specifically
@yy this post would have been so much cooler without the racism
Every layoff has the same reason, but the results haven't improved.
I remember Chris Todd saying that we needed to RTO due to customer concerns. Okay, the return-to-office phase is complete, but the clients are still grumbling? That indicates the CEO's strategy is incorrect. When strategy is wrong, they refuse to admit it and instead lay off employees. After laying workers off for ridiculous reasons, "reorg". Are things getting better? No, it is not.
Those C-level and VPs are fooling around with their d-mb ideas while sacrificing employees' lives.
+ Indians.... awful! Always expanding, hiring and recruiting only Indians with limited talents and an addiction to brag and flatter.
This is what tech companies do, and have been doing for a few decades now. UKG is a tech company not an hr vendor.
@cb That's what makes UKG stand out. They are United, Kind and Growing What a joke
UKG fiscal year starts Oct. 1. They do summer layoffs to clean the book.
2024 - July 3 - ~2,200 (14%) Day before major U.S. holiday
2023 - ~June/July - ~265 (1.7%) Just over a year before 2024 layoff
2022 - (Referenced) - Smaller scale No specific date given
Before the merger only minimal layoffs at Kronos and Ultimate.
Looking at 2023 and 2024, there might be a pattern of timing layoffs during summer season.
