From what has been explained it was over 250 that were laid off, with no clear severance pay and unemployment compensation benefits. People have lives and mortgages to take care of and yet the higher-ups do nothing but lie. As well as putting all the blame on their support managers, it's clear what's happening. When it was Ulti it was "People First". It's clear that UKG is nothing like Ulti and will never be Ulti.
It's a weird coincidence that almost everyone they laid off was from Ultimate too, how strange.

“I assure you that the individuals who made the call to lay me off (yes, I was one) were not "old white dudes."”
Nice try, Hugo.
From working with the U support side for sometime now it’s clear that there were a lot of siloes, and many, many narrow specialties. I get it, benefits and payroll are complex. This isn’t how UKG wants to do it now. They want broad generalists who can hop between lots of products. If you manage to become a guru on any one thing, it’s by accident.
let me say the layoff today was horrible. The customers are the ones that suffered the most because scheduled calls were cancelled with not notice. There was no contengcy plan to meet the customer needs. I cannot for the life of me make sense of this considering that we are already buried in backlog cases. Perhaps Ukg is trying to go public and need to clear its balance sheets
This is the truth, the merger was a disaster. Ultimate Software was better before.
I guess this is what you get when you hire a McKinsey consultant as a leader. Done nothing but buy useless products and get hacked since the merger.
Bunch of old white dudes from Boston Larping as businessmen. Sad what they did to a great company.
