Based in EMEA. Who's next? The way it was done absolutely su-ks. I've a mortgage to pay and other commitments. To those who lost their jobs, my heart goes out to you, it was a cr-ppy move to do it on the 3rd. :-(

I didn't get this chart as part of my separation agreement although it was called out. Checking to see if anyone else did.

Will the top brass have the guts to use words like care, dignity, UKrew, support and family next week? What BS will they try and push down the chain of command? The external and internal propaganda on culture, purpose is people, great place to work... — read more 

Just a heads up, found out today if you have approved or pending leave of absence you will likely find out Monday if you have been laid off.

Not laid off this time. But I’ve watched competent people being booted as if they are office supplies. How much of an empty shell of a human being do you have to be to need all that money, extracted by destroying people, their dignity and their... — read more 

I should mention I'm not a ukrewer but I was with a ukg implementation partner company. You might see a whole bunch of partners mentioning they have jobs opening, but the reality is that every partner just did a massive round of layoffs. He-l I even... — read more 

All remaining employees should strike and demand the rehiring of employees. If the company came to a hault they would have to listen to us because this would surely hurt their IPO.

All remaining employees should strike! As a collective voice we should demand to have some employees rehired. The IPO won’t be posible if no one in the company is working.

Someone should ask, “Chris, do you feel like the failure we all think you are???”

I would not recommend anyone start working for UKG. The culture is horrible. They do not listen to their employees.

From what I hear, people have been affected across the board. I can’t figure out the logic. It’s just nasty.

They don't give a damn. Whether they quit or are dismissed, those sc-mbags continue to receive multimillion-dollar packages. Chris, tell me about your law school education and what you learned about "JUSTICE." Chris may say: Whoa! People are merely... — read more 

What a way to let go of a significant population within an organization. Generic impersonal email from “People Solutions” notifying your role is being eliminated. No details shared on severance length or health insurance coverage to add to the... — read more 

I started looking for new opportunities , once I find a job. I’ll stop going in without any notice . That’s the only right thing to do.

With so many people gone, and with everyone reporting there was no discernible reasoning behind selection so many competent are gone, many useless are still here, this will be chaos, pressure, stress and more work. For what? Lousy company that... — read more 

The name UKG sounds like the name of a place the Russians would have called the Western front in WWII. “Mom I’m being sent to the UKG” … “have hope my son”. In 2024 there are so many options, why any company would purchase this is beyond me. Short... — read more 

I don’t understand the criteria, there are people who can’t even code that are still in my team, I have designed and built many applications from scratch and I’m being let go. Extremely disappointed that I rejected many offers in the past. Life... — read more 

Nothing more american than rampant corporate greed and a complete disregard for workers!

UKG conducted mass layoffs on Wednesday, just before the July 4 holiday, cutting an estimated 2,200 workers. The privately held staffing software company cut approximately 14% of its workforce, according to a July 3 email to employees from UKG CEO... — read more 

Do we know the average age of those who were let go? It looks to me that older employees were disproportionately affected. If that's the case, then we're talking about age discrimination, which is not allowed by law. I'd really like to know if... — read more 

Must be nice to have secure made up jobs where you do nothing all day and get paid.

I'm really curious if they expect the rest of us to do everything on our own from now on. I don't think it's possible. Not unless we forget we have families and lives outside of work. I'm not sure who decided how to do this, but they have sc--wed up... — read more 

Welcome to the new age, where employers can cull thousands of employees on a whim, with the kicker being that they try to hide it around a holiday. What a mess, this once great tech company of South Florida was so promising and delightful to work... — read more 

For those that came up through the Ulti ranks, it is really sad to see how things have come together since Scott decided to sell to H&F. Things have gone downhill from there and what was a unique culture is now completely lost. My first inkling of... — read more 

I realize this won't help the UKrewers that were let go, but we can stop this from happening again, or at the very least ensure it's done with more compassion and visibility than the sh-t show that went down today. Who's up for starting a subreddit... — read more 

I heard from an internal source that they eventually plan to move all of IT and engineering to offshore.

And the rest of Europe should follow thereafter… UKG -> Our purpose is people

Even if I'm not laid off at this point they do these so regularly that I'm going to start looking for another job because this is ridiculous. The lack of job security is astounding and they want to squeeze their engineers so hard that they burn out... — read more

Our purpose is people… yeah right! These are people with families, kids, medical bills, daycare bills, mortgages. I understand that layoffs are part of business but I’m so disgusted by the lack of transparency. Like the title says, if they don’t send... — read more 

What do we know so far? It’s all over the place, and I can’t even begin to try to figure out how many of us and where are being affected.

Well today we were in a leadership meeting and One of the leaders apologized for the upcoming reorg but said that it's got to be done. The call went silent and nothing else was said and the subject was quickly changed. I know some people try to... — read more 

My issue is that the company did not have a plan on what to do after the layoff. I had four calls scheduled with customers. All of the calls were canceled because the CRCs were not able to take the calls. We had angry customers escalating... — read more 

From what has been explained it was over 250 that were laid off, with no clear severance pay and unemployment compensation benefits. People have lives and mortgages to take care of and yet the higher-ups do nothing but lie. As well as putting all the... — read more
