Thread regarding ADP layoffs

The company is only interested in the bottom line

I don't think that any improvements are going to happen. The company is only interested in the bottom line, not babying their employees. Management will continue to demand the most out of their employees without returning that loyalty.

A conscious decision had been made to "churn and burn" the employees. The decision to replace its experienced workforce who were "earning too much money" with inexperienced people who earn about a third indicates that employees mean NOTHING to ADP. That decision alone says it all.

In my view, ADP will stubbornly continue to misuse, abuse, and underpay their employees no matter what. As the company sinks down further, the management will lash out at its workers blaming them and not themselves for failing to develop and nurture a superior workforce. ADP's clients will be taken over by other payroll companies who do know how to take proper care of their workers.

Found this to be a great post (@W3SwAVR-hbc). I agree with every word.

I think the company will survive but it soon will be a company which no one that has been around for a while will recognize. I left in June and it was a very different company then and I hear the changes and layoffs are going to be the ADP norm now.

I'm not sure that the company will survive, given the number of serious mistakes made by top management. ADP's survival is not guaranteed.

There are too many people being hired into management who have no qualifications for their jobs and are paid too much while the working staff continues to be mistreated and underpaid.

The company will survive but not easily. Carlos will continue to profit from the lower salaries which allows for his stock shares to increase. He has sold over $20M in personal stock in November. His transactions are public knowledge so feel free to look it up.

Not My ADP since 2004, there was a shift in the paradigm, the Core Company Values have been diluted overtime by a bunch of Pedigrees that only know their superficial analytics and possess no subjective business knowledge from personal experience.

Yes, all companies are focused on the bottom line. But not to the extent that ADP is by making serious mistakes in mismanaging its employees and not working on creating a superior workforce, and just mindlessly cutting its employees and replacing talent with newbies just to save a buck.

It is about the improper stewardship ADP has shown in running the company. And this company is not doing well, with the number of angry and enraged clients growing, and the number of experienced and talented associates leaving, with intelligent and well meaning but inexperienced and inept new associates unable to properly service the clients. No, this is the real reality check. The company is in trouble.

Just a reality check.... all companies are focused on the bottom line. If they aren't, their BOD will fire them immediately. If someone is "making too much money" as this poster seems to like to say over and over on this site, maybe they are. Companies have to focus on getting the most for every dollar spent. Maybe ADP has screwed up, but so far the results are pretty good for them. Stock is strong, revenue growth is strong, retention has actually improved, the latest product launch seems to be going well.

Maybe the company will survive despite the doom and gloom on this site?
