They pumped the "going public" narrative so hard for a couple of years... then they couldn't pull it off. Rule of 40 yada yada yada. You hear nothing about that now from C-suite. Not much chatter about DEIB either. It's all gone sour. Rumors about so many ex-SAP hires that this is signaling an acquisition by SAP. Current owners want OUT. But..... they've turned this into a tu-d show and ki-led the motivation of the rank and file. Lots of rah-rah conversations at all levels... but the heart is gone. They ki-led it. Just a bunch of parrots now. And the customers know it. Definitely ANALYSTS are more important than CUSTOMERS. Employees know they are just metrics and disposable. Can't sell culture when your own culture is terrible. You know this is all true. Lets hear your thoughts.

Two companies that were independently successful because they focused on employees and customers. The good results came from happy customers and employees being proud of were the worked.
Post merger they started running the thing like a math problem. It's amazing how fast they pi---d off the customers and lost the heart of the employees.
Now they are stuck with trying to convince the investor world that everything is fine while employees and customers know it has turned into rubbish.
Very interesting how the narrative has changed. If UKG is on the sale block, makes you wonder if ADP would be in play?
The plan is to minimize headcount and boost profit. And then sell it to SAP for close to nothing. Problem is, SAP might not be interested in useless UKG solutions. But SAP will win in the end as they have one competitor less after UKG is run to the ground. Bright move from SAP.
Every word of this is true…
