Op: From your post ...
"Post information you know, rumors you heard, your experiences, or contribute to the discussion by answering or asking about layoffs at ADP."
Information, rumors, experiences, discussions, questions- ABOUT LAYOFFS
FYI... at one time or another most of the people on here had positive views of ADP but this Really isn’t about that.
Thanks for that intelligent and thoughtful reply.
Ugggghh....the lonely, anonymous troll is back again.....no friends on Social Media to pester so it comes here for human interaction...
Of course anyone who posts here is welcome as this site invites. However, just posting information as an ADP cheerleader is not going to get you many votes here, especially if the aim of this cheerleading is to try to turn attention away from people's bad experiences with this company and to try to steer the content on this site to favor ADP and become a defacto ADP corporate site, since ADP doesn't like what is being currently posted here by folks that have been laid off.
There are way too many honest people here with real experiences that will ridicule cheerleading posts all the way.
This is what the site is about, pulled from the front page. If people don't drink the cool-aid that ADP is evil, they can't "post information they know"? I'm sorry, but you don't get to decide who and what gets posted here. This is and can be more than a therapy group for people who got laid off and want to air their grievances. Many come here out of curiosity, or as potential associates, and having someone share a different view is valuable to them. They get to see both sides.
For the record, I don't work at ADP any longer and have no allegiance to the company, and feel bad for anyone whose life has been affected by a layoff.
From the front page of this site...
"Post information you know, rumors you heard, your experiences, or contribute to the discussion by answering or asking about layoffs at ADP."
To the OP: your post just shows how clueless bought in you are ... this is a site about layoffs. Not a debate site. Not a “views” site...LAYOFF. So your cheerleading does no good here... these are people who have been let go after years of hard work and dedication, or people wondering when there turn to be shown the door is. Stupid a-hole... go Win as One until your no longer relevant... then come back to us.
Hahaha, keep posting to keep people in the loop. Employees currently there are sitting on diapers not knowing when the big fart will let out.
You lost your credibility with this statement "The stock is doing exceptionally well, better than their competition." A BUNCH of former ADP'rs are killing it! ULTI $318.18
The bottom line is, ADP has made a huge mistake. Over the years they've layed off some very experienced associates. They then offered up the early retirement, they did not anticipate upwards of 75% of those being offered it taking it. That's on the senior leaders. Only time will tell, if they can continue with the employees that they have. Yes the technology is old, however it's still the heart and brain of ADP. Who's going to maintain it, now that the folks that did the analysis, coding, testing and support are leaving.
Concerning your question "why this site felt the need to censor".
It is indeed a legitimate question. If you really worked for ADP for more than 20 years, you would understand how wacky and over the top these "positive" posts were. The amount of lies posted in them was absolutely incredible. They were also meant to drown out the competition and an attempt to discredit this site.
Many people who have posted on this site have a balanced view of what is going on at ADP, including me. I worked for ADP for almost 30 years.
The fact that ADP may be headed off a cliff and lose its clients is a very realistic scenario and not a fantasy as you seem to think. ADP's top management team made a serious blunder when it decided to replace most of its employees with low cost personnel. ADP's systems are complex and newly hired employees require years of experience before they truly become productive. The top management team didn't know that. They are paid top dollar to know their company inside and out, yet they just couldn't see this. And this is what could doom ADP. New low paid associates running around trying to service ADP's clients without real success, not having many veteran employees to rely on for questions. Clients getting enraged at lack of good service and incompetence, and leaving. Competitors picking up many of those clients.
The wages are just way too low for the new employees for the type of work that they are doing. These new employees have no incentive or motivation to do well. Many are leaving for greener pastures where they are paid more money for less complex work. So the survival of ADP is indeed at stake due to this incredible mismanagement.
Anyway, if you left ADP and that company is now in your rear view mirror, why should you care whether the company survives or not? Why should you be concerned with what people post on this site, good or bad? If ADP is indeed as strong as you seem to believe, then whatever people post or don't post here won't have an impact to ADP's survival. So I suggest that you just relax and not worry about what people post here.
First off, I'm not posting anything positive about ADP. That was my first post, and it wasn't addressing anything about ADP. I was asking the question about why this site felt the need to censor. Could ask the same question about any other company page on this site though I don't follow any of them so I don't know if they censor those pages. It's a legitimate question.
My history with ADP is long. Worked there over 20 years in a senior position so I have a pretty balanced view of what is actually going on. Some of the info on here is accurate directionally, but the tone that seems to indicate ADP is heading off a cliff and will lose all it's clients runs counter to what it actually happening. They are disrupting the company. They've destroyed the old culture. They have technology challenges. But, they are succeeding in the measures that matter. Revenue is up. Profits are up. Client counts are up. They are acquiring companies that compliment the product portfolio. The stock is doing exceptionally well, better than their competition. The downside is that the old guard associates are being eliminated and the culture s---s. That's why I left. But to say the company itself is at risk is quite a stretch and one that just kills the credibility of many of the posts I see on here.
If you focused your comments on the impact to culture, the fact that they don't really care about associates. But recognize the business reasons they are doing this, that credibility would be much higher. This is my only post on the topic of ADP and is not meant to demean anyone posting here. Just want to give you all some perspective from someone who was not laid off, but left for a lot of the reasons you folks are highlighting.
I do have a lot of compassion for anyone laid off and impacted by these kinds of situations so while you can call me a "mor*on" as someone did, I do actually have some good insights into how and why this is playing out at ADP. It's actually very common in the business world.
"Also think that most of the negative posts come across the same way as troll posts against ADP..."
No, they don't. Don't forget, this is a layoff site for people who have worked for ADP. They are just relating their experiences and justified feelings. Simply because ADP doesn't want this information told since it may negatively affect its recruiting efforts is not a reason for people to keep quiet about their bad experiences at this company.
ADP did not get permission to lay off from the employees that it eliminated, so the laid off employees do not need ADP's permission to post what they want here or anywhere else.
Just give up and go somewhere else to praise ADP's nonexistent advantages.
I didn't post anything. Just reading and noticed they all got deleted. I don't know, but guessing that someone complained. You all are right, those posts were troll posts overly supportive of ADP. Also think that most of the negative posts come across the same way as troll posts against ADP, but they are all still here. Just think it's interesting.
As another poster has said, why don't you discuss this "problem" with the webmasters and not other posters?
However, the real problem is that you don't like what is being posted here and you tried to disrupt honest posts by posting outlandish lies about ADP being a great company (it isn't) in an attempt to compromise this site. So now your accusation of "censorship" is a further attempt to try to trash this site.
Webmasters do have the right to throw out inappropriate and vile posts which ridicule and provide false information.
Points of “view”. .... not points of “you” in The prior post. Piece of c-ap voice recognition system....
I suggest you take up your complaint with the people administering this website not the other posters. Mor*on!
As far as an opposing point of you goes, no one has a problem with that. I think the administrators simply had a problem with somebody spouting bull*sh--.... they weren’t opposing points of you it was simply the attempts of someone pathetic looking for attention.
