Thread regarding ADP layoffs

Recently left ADP after over a decade. The culture has gone down drastically. Everyone I've talked to in many departments are over worked, underpaid, and short staffed. Something is wrong if you have to work 10+ hours a day to include weekends to stay afloat. Our team had 12 people and was reduced to 6 with consolidated work loads and the constant pressure of urgent, right now requests. If you were on vacation, you worked because everyone was swamped and could barely cover themselves. If you were sick, the conversation was can't you log in from home? Leadership doss not have your back and neither does HR. Things reported to HR that were don't by several levels of leadership were never addressed.

I have a new job and can't believe that I am actually making way more for a fraction of the work load I had at ADP. In training j keep getting asked if this is too much and surprisingly it is not.

After numbers trips to the ER for chest pains, an anxiety diagnosis, and other issues I realize how abusive of a culture there is at ADP. Sadly is was not always like this and I used to absolutely love coming to work every day.

Alot of things have changed at Adp since i was an former employee I've been hearing alot of not so good things at Adp well times have changed it was fun while it lasted.

ADP could save more money by hiring directly in Philippines where labor rates are much lower... that is the outsourcing trend... the trouble may be English will little hard to understand but you will save money

To post @PX7UeOM Adgh Did I read your post right??? ITS NOT THAT BAD!!!??? And you have game room and a doctor on staff??? Isn't that special? Is the game room to keep the kiddies entertained? And when the heck does anyone have time to actually use the game room? We hardly have time to use the bathroom or swallow half a sandwich. Must be nice to be working at Disneyland.

If you work at ADP do not go to HR for anything. You can make a report about your direct manager and the HR rep who happens to click on your case will go to the manager without even talking with you to see what going on. I had a manager laugh as the manager read me the email HR sent to talk to me about the issue. I was flabbergasted. I never heard back from HR. I'm not looking forward to my discussion with them when my number is called as part of the mass layoff agenda.

I love how the person comments how lovely and wonderful the new buildings are with a coffee shop in the building. Just keep in mind as you s--- down your coffee thousands of other people lost thier jobs with the company who were making good money.

Sounds like an evil Human Resource troll was posting how great the new locations are. HR is a joke. I dealt with them once at ADP. Snakes!

People are happy at the new locations? Come on, get real. The new associates ARE having great difficulties. It is not easy for them. The campuses are indeed beautiful, there are amenities, and what is left of the old guard are willing to help. But too much work is expected of the newer employees for unusually low salaries. They are struggling and there is no way to hide that. ADP bit off more than it could chew in starting its reckless employee replacement scheme. I no longer work for ADP and have cashed in my pension and ADP stock. I can afford to sit back and watch the ADP train wreck unfold. Can you?

Its not that bad. People are happy at the new locations. The campuses are beautiful. We have a Dr on staff, dining areas, Starbucks, game rooms. Ergonomically comfortable desks, and a lot of people willing to teach and learn. Its a new era of people, it may start rough for some, but this is not the end of ADP by any means.

Agreed...it definitely is a circus there. With Carlos and his mgmt staff as ringmasters! What a dysfunctional mess.

Yes, I would also like to see what is going on in the new centers now. I would bring in popcorn and soda and then watch this dysfunctional but entertaining show play itself out. LOL!

As one of my colleagues told me when we both worked at ADP: "It is fun to watch the circus as it goes by, but it is not fun when you are actually in the circus." Both of us are now out of this crazy circus.

I wish I was a fly on the wall so I could see inside the new locations at this time of year. To see how the phones are ringing off the hook and see new hires getting up and walking out!!

Good I hope they go out of business after what they did to us.

Agreed. NOT SUSTAINABLE.

Making money with a shrinking client base? And with a cheap, inexperienced workforce? NOT SUSTAINABLE.

All looks good on my end! We making money

I wish I had never stepped foot into ADP. A lousy, dysfunctional, crazy-making place!

After working for ADP for 20 years , I was let go in June of 2012. I was a good loyal associate with 3 service awards in mainframe IT. I have since had to sell my home and take a retail part time job since that was the only position I could find unless I wanted to move out of state(NJ). They do not want older employees and lie to your face. I would have taken a position with them with any pay cut but HR told me to go online and reapply.....I have many times.....not even a reply back. ADP is the worst company who ruins hard working associates lives and could not care less. Management is the worst and HR is unethical from day one......Thank You ADP for ruining so many good and loyal

hard working peoples lives !

.....Bring back Josh Weston!

I am generally amazed my old office is still up and running with the cheap labor ADP Retirement now has in El Paso. In my old department, we made roughly $21/hr in New England and for the same work and education level (Bachelor) they hire their people in El Paso at just $16/hr. The amount of knowledge you need in IRS and DOL laws is key to keeping the job there. In some circumstances, in order to move up (promoted) in the retirement service world, you need to get your FINRA licenses and some of us already had those but without any pay increases.

It is true that they were consolidating their offices to "mega" centers. Payroll has a few across the country, retirement has three primary offices in Louisville and El Paso, with a small team in New Jersey. The New England office will likely be no more within the next year or so.

If you decide to work there...the less you make the likely they will keep you. Good right-outta-college job but don't stay.

People just do not want to believe the company has taken an aggressive layoff mode to replace pricey for CHEAP labor. Wake up. The company is doing it right in front of you and bombards everyone with emails about "how great things are" or "heres our latest strategy of the month". Total bs mindgames.

I respectfully disagree that this is old news. It is true that ADP has layoffs every 2 to 3 years. This has been going on for decades. However, each layoff cycle would lay off less than 10% of the work force.

The new news is that since last year, the layoffs have been more deep and aggressive. The intent of ADP s upper management is to replace close to 100% of its work force by early 2018.

This is old news that's been going on for a few years now. They will keep on sending people to the unemployment lines. ADP is not a company for long term employment anymore.

Agreed! Hope they get taken over.

Very true. I hope the company does fail. It deserves to after the mess the leaders made and lives they ruined.

Sad but true.
