Carlos Rodriquez has been in his position far longer than he should have been. Under his direction, the company has lost thousands of highly qualified and proven employees in exchange for far less talented, yet cheaper, foreign labor and inexperience employees. These decisions are starting to show the severe miscalculations on the effects to the business, clients, and workforce moral. I believe we need to start a campaign calling for his resignation and take the company back in a positive direction. His choices in leadership are completely flawed and his protectionism of his inner circle is the very thing that often shows up as the downfall of many companies. Considering the downward stock movement, the highly dissatisfaction of the employee base and more importantly the client base, the rapid erosion of ADP knowledge within the workforce, and the outright lies suggesting improvements in technology are all foundation reasons we need to call for Carlos to resign before even further damage is done.

It is hard to believe that Carlos thinks that he is doing the right thing by eliminating top talent and cutting away ADP's knowledge base. If he really thinks that he is doing the right thing, then he is severely mentally challenged and certainly not competent to run the company.
Sadly, Carlos truly believes he is doing the right thing. He is delusional, but steadfast in his belief. His direction and leadership are severely flawed and hurting the long term health and stability of ADP in irreparable ways. But, that does not change the fact that he believes he is right. He is just a bad judge of business health and a poor CEO. I too agree, It is time for him to man up and step down!
I agree with this posting about Carlos. He is a huge failure as a CEO. Nobody cares about the story of him coming to America as a little boy and rising to the top of a company’ many years later. He will only be remembered now as the CEO who killed thousands of jobs and destroyed hard working employees dreams of trying to earn a decent wage. He deserves to rot in hell!
While I don't know for certain, I think that it may be too late. Too much has been lost. Perhaps ADP can be salvaged if competent leadership comes in but it is going to be a long hard road to get back to where the company was. Perhaps it won't be able to make it all the way back because of increased competition from aggressive competitors who didn't make the same mistakes ADP did.
I am just glad that I am no longer part of the ADP circus any more. If it crashes and burns, it makes no difference to me since I took my pension lump sum.
Good luck to the present associates who are weathering this storm. I wish you the best.
