After decades working from home, ADP started pushing people back in offices in recent years. Then COViD sent everyone home and my hope was that ADP would reconsider their “in office” strategy. Nope. The transition back to offices will start soon. The good news is, many companies did learn to value employees working from home. As the economy picks back up, so will those new opportunities outside of ADP. ADP can’t claim to be a HR industry leader and technology company when they don’t trust and utilize the latest trends and/or technology for their own employees.

Some people / positions are remote though ? Is that correct?
10 years from now our National language will be mandarin
50 years from now nobody will believe that we spent 4 hours a day in a wheeled box traveling back and forth to a building just to sit at a laptop. And For sure ADP a will not exist then.
ADP = Always Dumping People
I don’t care about this stupid job anyway and have others already lined up. I have skills and will easily find another one. You on the other hand are surely on the chopping block. The next few rounds are going to be the so called management with big salaries.
You can come and sit beside me and I can still totally “innovate” to fool you. You can’t read code and don’t know what your people do anyway or what they should be doing to save this sinking ship. You don’t know what leadership or management means.
The rats are jumping the sinking ship.
Strategy officer - gone
Transformation officer- gone
Sales officer - gone.
The ‘strategy’ and ‘transformation’ isn’t working is it? The strategy is to full your pockets and jump ship.
The executive team is busy filing lawsuits.

You are next on the chopping block. Keep creating those decks to tell your stories with fake data. Keep doing your stack ranks. There is another stack rank with you on the list which you don’t know about.
Nothing is going to save this sinking ship. You are really scared and need to take it out here.
You miserable souls. WFH is ending and you need to actually work again.
We are huddling up ahead of you in the office to stack rank.
We know who you are.
It certainly wasn’t built by people the likes like you who don’t know how to innovate and change with times and who don’t get the point. Useless to even try.
Considering all that you preach why aren’t you working and instead spending your time on this board? Don’t you have to check if your people show up and their status is ‘green’? Did you call them?you would put cameras in their homes next to check if they went to the bathroom.
I am going back to my binge watching. I appear green btw.
You’re right, this country was built on people watching TV while working 9-5.
My mistake.
So what if people watched TV. People have a life. You are the old dinosaur from the 19th century who wants employees to be slaves. You don’t have to be glued to your screen every single second to complete your work in a supposed tech company. Is it a manufacturing shop?
Practice what you preach to the media about employees wanting to work where they want and when they want.
Oh but you think of them as your slaves so this concept may be hard for you to understand.
The next gen products are cr-p, the current gen products are cr-p and management is also cr-p. Clients are soon going to move who waited to make decisions. Cost cutting can only go so far.
At some point you can’t cut anymore and then middle management like you will get the axe, because you don’t really know anything. Do you?
Darn working in office going to cut into your binge watching tv?
You KNOW I’m right.
The announcement caught a lot of people off guard. Not so much the return to office part but.... coworkers are NOT our friends and family. No one really “collaborated” in cafeterias or coffee stations. No one misses the DISTRACTIONS in office. COVID helped so many people realize that you CAN work and have a personal life.
The Mental Awareness campaign was a PLOY to try and brainwash associates to believe that WFH was a bad thing.
Will definitely be looking to move on in the near future.
most likely an attempt to get people to quit so they don't have to pay severance for more layoffs
ADP = Always Demeaning People
ADP does not care about its associates one little bit. Constantly taking away from us (tuition reimbursement, pension plan, work-life balance) and only giving increased workload with inadequate technology in return.
Struck a nerve did we? You are the poorest of all. You depend on us not the other way around. You don’t know how to do any work and can’t get any work from your people. They will do the bare minimum if at all. The only thing you can do is fire people and then you time will come.
The skilled people can get their work done because they have 10 years experience to understand how to do it in one hour. All you can do is sit and wonder what they are doing and check if they came in at 8 and left at 5. You are just a glorified babysitter running a daycare for adults.
Love it, all you miserable souls can now complain face to face.
Being an adult and having a job is rough , yeah?
ADP - Always Demanding in-Person
The hard working people that built ADP took the VERP or retired prior.
The Boo Hoo poster.You must be one of the micro managers who everyone is talking about. ADP can’t trust your people to do their jobs. The hardworking people on whose back on whose this company rose have been treated very poorly.
The economy is heating up. Pretty soon you won’t have anyone to manage. Pity the poor sods whose so called “leader” you are.
Employees are soon going to have a choice and you won’t have anyone to beat up. They will walk out themselves. You can hire the newbies who can’t do anything who will walk out anyway. The downfall is going to come soon.
Boo hoo, slacking at home days are numbered.
Everyone knows it
I’ve been hearing talk of remote workers being told they will need to start returning to an office a few days a week.
what did the email say? I didnt receive it. Does this mean I am safe to stay remote? lol
ADP = Lack of trust toward its employees. In ADP's view, employees are a necessary evil and cannot be trusted farther than you could throw a feather. Employees must be supervised and measured through metrics and observation so that they don't cheat the company out of valuable productive time. So head back to the office where your work will be trusted more and where a sour faced manager can watch you work.
Google said they saved over a billion dollars by having their employees work from home this past year. They saved on electricity, internet, maintenance, toilet paper, copier paper and much more. This is true for ADP also. ADP claims they cannot afford to give employees more than a 1% increase due to Covid.
I agree. There is a definite lack of flexibility. Most companies are now offering flex work arrangements. Wonder what will happen. Surprised by the return to norm and quickness of it all.
Im extremely upset by the return announcement. Too rigid and Indicative of a lack of trust in employees , so typical of adp . Dont know why i expected anything differently . Sad and cant stand that i have to work here.
Got news of going back to office as well. So many companies have transitioned to remote work or hybrid of. ADP does not know how to INNOVATE when it comes to work strategies and products. Not many people want to sit in TRAFFIC, wear a mask, and spend over 8 hours a day in office unless they have been with the company for a thousand years. Work/life balance means nothing to ADP.
