You would think (or hope) things would be better when CT stepped down and they brought in new CEO and leadership team. But no, it is not. Right now, the push is “DO MORE WITH LESS” and be grateful you still have a job. There are so many fires... — read more 

Saw someone wrote a review on GD that “this company is COOKED and will never go public and will close its doors in two years.” Anyone has the intel on this??

UKG is the kind of company that fires tenured employees right before they are able to retire. Sad to watch this once great company descend to the bottom of the barrel. Avoid at all cost, they want to replace all humans with AI.

If UKG is looking to continue efficiencies, why not ask the current UKrewers if they'd like to be part of that? To create an incentive, offer vesting of all RSUs. There could be a sizable group of people interested in that. This would be in... — read more 

Time to jump ship with HS leaving? Is it just a matter of wanting to go public or should this sound the alarm to look elsewhere?

You know what I'm talking about.

UKG is giving out PIPs that are impossible to recover from. This seems to be a way for them to terminate employees they think are too expensive to keep. Very sad to see this once great company as the unethical, greedy, money grubbing monster it's... — read more 

There are expected to be layoffs in Noida in the coming weeks/months. This was confirmed in a leadership meeting !

Kicking out many Ukrewers and spend the saved salaries on this event. The decadence at UKG is amazing.

I've never seen a company so bold in it's hypocrisy. They say "our purpose is people", but I'm not exactly sure what people they are referring to other than shareholders. They don't care about their employees..don't care about giving them... — read more

The pathetic excuse of a lying and dying company. UKG just announced to build up their headcount in Ireland. 200 new jobs in the next 3 years. They just laid off ca. 200 employees in EMEA! Unbelievable and what a slap in the faces of those been laid... — read more

Todd has just announced to step down. I wonder if he received his notice by FedEx!

Although layoffs can be acceptable when handled correctly, I observed that some of the best employees were let go, which is very disheartening. I don't understand the end goal here, and it seems everyone is probably seeking an exit. The company lacks... — read more 

From the info I have been able to gather thus far, employees who were coded as 'office hybrid' in, for example, CA, were put on paid garden leave for 60 days prior to their separation date to meet WARN act requirements, but employees coded as 'remote... — read more 

We will never recover from the last bloodbath. If for no other reason than layoffs were guided by crude cost-cutting. They manage to let go some of the best people, as well as the backbones of many teams. I don’t trust this mgmt that they will ever... — read more

So what's next? UKG got rid of top performers and thinks hiring in "that region" is a good move?

These past two weeks have been so stressful that I can't believe that it's only been that long since this whole thing started. It feels much more like two months than two weeks. The worst part is, even with the cuts over, I don't feel better. I know... — read more

The new UKG (sigh)

Well, the severance formulas that have been shared show that they do not put much value on many years of service. For individual contributors, for example, it is 5 weeks for the first year and 1 week for every year thereafter. That is great if you... — read more

Heard from a manager that HR in closed

I’m expected to pick up work for people who were laid off. It’s not going to happen. None of us should accept doubled workload. It’s their problem, not ours. They decided to be cheap, so should we. You get what you pay for, that’s all. If the volume... — read more
