Thread regarding ADP layoffs

Its definitely the best scumbag company to work for!

"ADP #23 on the list of best companies to work for."

Uh-huh, When pigs fly!

Paying off media to print garbage like that is a common practice, not just by ADP, but by many large companies. If you really believe ADP is a good place to work now, then you need your head examined.

To the person who said that I was bragging about not being laid off, I offer my apologies for not providing more information. I was not bragging at all. In fact ADP "helped" me to retire by laying me off. I had planned to work for ADP longer but that was not to be. When I was laid off, I found that when I reviewed my finances, I could retire.

I agree with you that ADP is not a good place to work for. I only stuck it out because the pay was good. But the management and corporate culture was awful. I was under a lot of pressure and stress and am glad to be gone from there. I don't recommend to anyone to work for ADP. And now associates are being paid less, far less than they were before.

So sorry again for not providing a full picture about me. ADP is a company in decline. When I left, I elected to take my pension lump sum as I have no confidence in the survival of this company.

I don't keep count of what I post. I post whatever I want, whenever I want. Everyone else is free to do the same.

Even if most of the information on this site is inaccurate (it isn't) it is not going to wreck anything for anyone. This small site can't compete for the sheer volume of information being generated by ADP. So why get uptight about it? ADP, if it is a superior company, has nothing to worry about and will continue to flourish no matter what people post here, either good or bad. However, if it isn't... well... that is another story.

I wish you the best too.

My total post count on this site is 6. How many have you posted?

I have no allegiance, same as you saying you have no axe to grind. I'll probably never return to this site. Provides me no value, but I do feel for those looking for accurate info and what they get is a handful of people posting the same inaccurate info (what really amounts to opinions skewed by their personal situation) over and over.

I wish you all the best.

To the person bragging about not being laid off, you are an effn mo--n, there is no pride working for ADP, or being a customer of ADP. Good jobs are everywhere with better pay and dignity. Must be dumb to think that company is a great place to work

We are getting along. Just having intellectual discussions. That is what this site is all about.

No, you didn't get through my craftily worded trap ok. You and "others" that have a "more balanced" view of ADP don't seem to want to post here much. Perhaps it is only you who is doing the posting. The vast majority of people posting here have a more correct view of ADP rather than a "more balanced" one.

By your adamant stance and postings, you have just proven that you do care what people write on this site and do have allegiance to your beloved ADP, while claiming otherwise.

You also don't know the people that post here and you insult them by saying that they are disaffected associates with an axe to grind. Just paint everyone with a bold brush stroke and not offer any evidence to back up your words.

While I don't dare to speak for anyone else that posts on this site, I for one am not disaffected and definitely don't have an axe to grind, so you made a mistake painting me in that manner. I worked for ADP for decades but am now comfortably retired. I don't have to work for a living anymore and don't have any animosity or axe to grind with ADP. However, I have the right to speak the truth about this company.

Trying to discredit people who post information that you don't like here isn't going to work. People will continue to post whatever they want here, and ADP will not be able to stop that.

Trust me, you can't "trip" me up. Because people read this site, and didn't comment means you have no idea what their opinion is. Because I and others have a more balanced view of ADP and comment here means that not everyone believes everything the few of you that comment on here incessantly say.

I believe all of the scores for all of the companies are equally accurate. At least there is no evidence that they aren't. Two ADP competitors beat out ADP, but top 23 in a universe of thousands of companies is exceptional.

Most polling generates a statistical accuracy level of +/- 3-4% with a fraction of 1% respondents. Not perfect, and never will be, but directional accuracy you can count on.

This site is a gathering ground for disaffected associates that have an axe to grind. That is a very small portion of the people that work for ADP. Some of us know the company well and know that this is a very biased view of the company and have as much right to set the record straight as you do to promote your views. It's a public anonymous site.

Did I get through your craftily worded trap OK?

There was a "contest" in the regions for who could post the most positive reviews for ADP on Glassdoor.com! They had posters in the elevators promoting it!

The people who post here and whine because they got laid off are ipso facto the bottom 10%.

Wow, you are trying so hard to discredit the posters on this site for a person who has no allegiance to ADP. Perhaps you are the one being paid by ADP to try to salvage its reputation.

But no matter. While this layoff site also has less than 1% participating it allows people to express their views more openly. It is a "blank slate" that allows people to write what they want. So since the people here are not limited to preset questions, the fact that so many posters agree in this more open discussion means that the representable sample can be less in determining what people truly believe about ADP.

The number of views for each post is also reported openly here. Most of the views exceed the less than 300 from comparably.com. So arguably the number of people who see these posts and have an opportunity to comment here far exceed the number of people who answered on comparably. Thus, the representable sample is quite a bit bigger than comparably.

In addition, as several posters have commented here, ADP tries to fudge the numbers of the outside companies that conduct these official surveys. On this site, you can't fudge stuff because you have intellectual "blank slate" discussions where views can be challenged by others.

And who said anything about doubting the scores of the other companies and winners? This thread is about ADP, not other companies. I and many others here don't know about those companies and are not qualified to speak about them. I simply don't know and will not offer any views on those companies.

And about the competitors that beat out ADP, I also don't know about those companies. I don't know whether those scores are invalid. However, as you believe that the comparably.com ADP scores are valid, then you will have to accept that the competitor's scores are also valid. How then do you explain why the competitors beat out ADP? Perhaps you will say that ADP's score was valid, but the competitor's were not? Try not to trip over your words answering that one.

You all question the validity of the ADP scores because there was a 1% sample size. This site has far fewer than 1% participating so what does that say about the validity of the views here?

You also point out competitors that beat out ADP, but if the scores are invalid for ADP, wouldn't they also be invalid for those companies?

Do you all doubt the validity of all of the scores and render the winners as frauds as well?

Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Comparably.com did the ratings. And they only had 293 employees who did the survey? Out of a company with THOUSANDS of employees? What kind of a representative sample is that? Besides, ADP management could easily fudge the results by providing their own answers to those surveys or making sure that their employees provide the "right" kind of responses that was mentioned by a previous poster.

Even so, ADP's competitors PAYCOR and Workday had higher scores. So come on, "the masses" as the OP claims did not complete this survey, only less than 300, which is less than 1% of ADP's workforce. The OP is grasping at straws in trying to defend his or her beloved ADP.

My guess is that if it was in fact a survey of associates that it was limited to Norfolk, Maitland & India folks where their efforts are applauded not the legacy offices that built the company.

If you left ADP over a year ago and have no allegiance to the company, why are you so intent on "proving" that ADP is such a good place to work for and declaring that any posting critical to this company is invalid?

Still trying to discredit the people that post here? ADP has to appear to be a good company to work for, doesn't it? But it isn't.

These so-called surveys do not present accurate information, even if they were done by outside companies. Why?

Because most of the surveys that I and my ADP colleagues took at ADP were always done by independent companies that were done outside of ADP but with ADP's influence. Our ADP management urged us to give the highest ratings possible. The intent was to convince people by using "outside" companies that the surveys were legitimate. My colleagues and I would do the surveys, compare the results, and then laugh about the inflated "results". Sorry, but this sh** wasn't worth the paper that it was written on.

This survey was not "from" ADP. It was independent and conducted outside of ADP.

There was always a survey that needed to be done. Just curious how many surveys you took while you were at ADP? And not specifically yours, but how many of the responses do you think where truthful? The push was always there to rate the company highly when surveys came our way. Whether we believed it or not. So the bulk of the responses from the group I was in where bogus. And from talk at the coffee stations, I think we were pretty typical of the groups at 1 ADP.

30 ADP years and retired. Didn't think twice about it.

The bottom 10% is probably not representative of the average employee.
