Thread regarding UKG / Ultimate Kronos Group / Ultimate Software Group Inc. layoffs

October 2026 Layoffs

Yet another round of layoffs at UKG today. Once again they sent out an email right around 5pm Eastern the day before.

Haven't heard any numbers yet, but definitely cuts to "Support Services". This company is a mess.

UKG became a joke. Worked for the company for 26 years and was part of the mass layoff in 24 found out through an erroneous FedEx label emailed to me.
I would love to nothing but see this company go belly up.

@fv Jen is from Blackstone. Blackstone controls McKinsey... Aaron is not a good CEO too. He just acted nice. No benefits, no promotion, no bonus when Kronos was not merged with Ultimate Software.

Oh yeah, the email proxy software UKG is using to filter the message. Aaron is the board member. He knows what people talked and emailed.

@f3 Chris Todd was from McKinsey? Hmm never knew that. Only he knew he was from Kronos and groomed to be CEO by Aaron.

Jen Morgan is THE worst CEO!! Some rumor said she’d be gone by end of September. Unfortunately, she is still here and will continue to show face once each quarter to read from the teleprompter.

@ab Mostly the board is to blame. The previous CEO was from the Infamous Mckinsey firm and the Current CEO feels like a fake puppet that is just there to put on a good face while they gut everything from the inside.

Back when I worked at the company earlier this year, the whispers is that they would start moving towards using Partners for any implementations and the Integration Build services in India would handle the bulk of the build/requirements. The strategy is flawed due to the India team (which has some of the most intelligent people I have worked with) is in a +13 hour difference time zone and the language barrier is harmful tot he requirements gather phase.

@OP I work for UKG and have heard of one manager that was laid off after working for the company for more that 20 years. Any idea on numbers?

I've warned this before. Once you hire Indians, the company goes down.

@a5 I heard tax amendments and general support were hit. I’m not sure how many of them, though.
