Thread regarding ADP layoffs

A lot of the employees that were cut were not remote and might have preferred to stay but were not given that choice. Some, had their offices closed and thus would have become remote. Some had their positions moved overseas, which is very remote. Some might be performance related. Many were not. The biggest factor seemed to be cost. Experienced and tenured employees cost more. If you look only at the numbers, that makes sense. If you have heart, or value experience, it does not. Time will tell.

@WuWPEZ5-5cbs - I have to disagree. I know several homeshored/remote workers who received both notice and severance when departing. I also know of departures of homeshore/remote workers AND in office who did not receive either based on active Performance Improvement Plan at time of being let go-just FIRED. Past Handling has been on individual basis and not general, unless you know of a month or so of recent terminations due solely to location of work-homeshore/remote status. I don't have proof of such to generalize.

Remote workers are the easy target to get rid of. They are out of sight out of mind when the company terminates them. Saddest part of the process is when most of the remote workers are fired its without notice and they do not get any type of severance.

ADP should move its company to India, am sure that's what Joe Taub had in mind when he founded the company!

"GOALS: For starters..."

Very definite and very good goals. But how are these goals going to be met by a company with a severely depleted knowledge base, a disengaged workforce, and an Enronesque style of management?

Just more smoke and mirrors bandied about.

GOALS For starters: Client Retention, Revenue--$$$, Sales, Implementations, positive Service/Client Relationships, NEW Business, Developed/Enhanced products, reduced system issues, and the goals list continues.

GOALS: Just the nature and purpose of the BUSINESS.

"There are goals to reduce..."

Where? How?

Repost - There aren't enough people reading much less responding on this site to be even close to statistically accurate in a company of 55k ee's. Home shoring is out of vogue. No doubt about that, but there has been no directive at the ADP level to eliminate the practice across the board for existing associates. There are goals to reduce, and each team is working toward those goals over time. That is fact, not hearsay

Yes, this is correct about their remote employees. 100% correct.

Mmmmmmmm K.

And there you have it. If you work in an office, even a non One ADP Center, you can rest assure you will not be let go. Remote workers only from here on our is what I gather from the posts.

Now, whats the worry? You are as safe as a a popsicle on a hot, sunny day.

This trend started nationwide in all industries 30 years ago. It's really nothing new. Indian laborers speak English, are highly educated, and are willing to work dirt cheap. They're even willing to learn American law, financial rules, and even have schools where they learn to speak with American accents starting from grade school. They've been focusing on this sort of thing for a very long time.

Get real. Announcements about eliminating remote work are not going to be made until after it has all been completed, if then. I suppose some people would also like to see lists of people who are going to be laid off well in advance of those layoffs? ADP wouldn't be stupid enough to provide that would they? Similarly, they are not going to officially declare that remote work is being stopped for fear of losing even more employees.

I had been around long enough to remember when ADP started to allowing remote work in the first place. It was all hush hush, nothing was formally announced. Some people were allowed to work from home, others were not. It was secretive. Then, later there was a formal procedure outlined. At my location, you chose 3 options. You could work in the office as before, or you could work remote 2 days a week, or you could always be remote but had to give up your office or cube if you did go 100% remote.

So why should ADP announce anything? That would help the employees but not the company.

Many employees are seeing people being thrown out of the company solely because they work from home. Just because this hasn't been announced formally doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Please post the announcement made regarding this claim, as stated, "the management teams have stated that upper management is moving all positions in-house and letting go of remote employees".

Unfortunately, this has not been announced in Town Halls or through mass ADP communications.

ADP is welcome to do as they please with all levels in their employ. No single group is secure. Not even the ones promised the advantages, later to find it more a farce, than security.

All should be sprucing up resumes and looking, unless they have decided "settling is best" for them. If they're stressed and making less than $65+k on entry-level, it is SETTLING. They'll figure it out sooner rather than later. The Art of NEGOTIATIONS.
