Why do they keep posting for the same positions over and over and over again?

  • Head of Projects

  • Head of Shared Service Centre

  • Engineering Lead

  • Senior QA Engineer

  • Principal Software Engineer

Just a few examples of the same jobs I see continuously being reposted. Hire and fire?

Just hope it doesn't happen to you over the next couple of months, when your position becomes obselete.

I am not the person who got a settlement payment, but I have heard stories of late of people not being paid their salaries, redundancy pay being incorrectly calculated and not being paid, Keyloop not applying for employee benefits such as critical illness or income protection claims. Non payment of pension contributions. I am sure there will be more examples of those affected

@aawg what did HR do? Can you give any detail?

@aar8 im definitely not who you think i am. sorry to break your heart like this. the grivences were filed ages before the redundancy and were not correlated. that SLT member was fired immediately given the type of complaint. I was a victim of modern day slavery in keyloop when i filed the second grievance against my manager, an SLT themself and the corresponding KLT - who are still in the business obviously, but i was let go about 10 months after this incident, unrelated because it was mass layoff , and thats when i got a settlement agreement because keyloop had effed me up big time. HR clearly managed it 'well'

@aarc I have been working closely with those guys for years, and never understood how they could party until 4 am and still be able to “perform” the next day, I just assumed that it was a British thing - your post explains a lot, and I now understand how. It also makes sense why some of the most talented, ambitious and professional product people have left the company, since the CPO joined - they of course couldn’t approve of that kind of behaviour.

Wonder will Adrian/Tim be providing the co----e for the series of Fusion Strategy meetings. I’m at the coal face of product and it’s common knowledge that these guys are fuelled by this junk. You’d think Tom would sort. Too busy deciding how to communicate no merit or bonus. Or the Hundreds of redundancies in Feb.

@aa69 funny I happen to know someone that revently got fired, got 8 months salary as per their own admission and then returned to work for keyloop through a contractor. Would be funny if that's you, filing grievences against SLT and bragging about your 8 months while simultaneously also admitting through your own actions you can't live without the company.

If you are who I think you are, I left shortly after you but would never ever return to any part of the industry that deals with keyloop.

@aakn Nobody said there wouldn't be any terms and conditions. There'll just be the bare minimum, though, unless you're a bit difficult, in which case they might give you something extra. Otherwise it will follow the labour code only.

I would be surprised if Keyloop were to let people go without some sort of conditions/ settlement agreement. They wouldn't be that foolish would they?

@aa19 i recently got a settlement agreement close to 8months of salary because they knew i would go to tribunal for the grievances i filed and had in past with KL and some SLT members. the key to note is that they will only do this if they want to shut you up and let you go quietly and if you hold a strong ground with your solicitors during negotiation otherwise, statutory is standard. Hope this helps in some way

@aa19 They weren't even paying the minimum wage to some employees, so I would think it would probably be the statuory minimum amount. I did hear from one person who has gone that the pay calculation in the redundancy wasn't even correct and had to be challenged. Then they were reluctant to correct the figures.

@aa19 Unless they want to get rid of you very quietly and quickly, you can't expect anything above the required minimum. If you are hired into the management structure, the likelihood rises that you'll get something nice on top of that. But for individual contributors, don't expect anything other than what legislation or the collective agreement provides.

Can anyone disclose what their pay off cheque looked like? Was it the statutory amount or did they pay enhanced redundancy?

@a9xw

If you work in PS start packing up your desk:
• FY26 27% GDC: In Financial Year 2026, 27% of the total workforce (or project delivery hours) must be based in Global Delivery Centres (offshore/nearshore locations).
• FY27 45% GDC: The target scales aggressively to 45% the following year.
• FY28 60% GDC: By Financial Year 2028, a supermajority (60%) of delivery should be transformed to the GDC model.

PS Operations Director
Keyloop United Kingdom

Own Keyloop's PS workforce distribution strategy — driving the planned migration of PS headcount into Regional Delivery Centres (RDCs) and Global Delivery Centres (GDCs) to achieve target cost and capability distribution

Manage the headcount plan: in-geography vs. centre-based ratios, hiring approvals (non-centre hires require CDO sign-off), and headcount cost vs. budget

Lead the PS workforce transformation milestones: FY26 27% GDC, FY27 45% GDC, FY28 60% GDC — own the plan, track the progress, and remove the blockers

@a9s7 Maybe don’t judge people when you don’t know their situation. Did it not occur to you that some of them had savings and had to dip into them because something came up? It doesn’t help that the pay rises at Keyloop, on the rare occasions we get one, are barely worth mentioning, so just getting by is hard enough without putting money aside on top. I know loads of people here in the UK who don’t have six months’ savings either, so don’t act like you’re better than people in other countries. Good on you for building up your cushion, but it doesn’t make you better than anyone who hasn’t got one.

@a9n3 thank you but honestly, how ruined is your life when you're "refreshing your banking app" on the cutoff data of our salary payment? How do you even breath if when you don't have at least 6 months of net salary in savings? I can't be "empathic" towards irresponsible people like that.

@a9r0 Do you think their bonus depends on their activities here and on Glassdoor? That would explain a lot.

I see HR have been incentivizing people again to improve the Glassdoor scoring and make it appear Keypoop is a good place to work.

Respect to the guy who keeps dropping smug comments and collecting downvotes like it's a KPI. Consistent, committed, always in the red. Honestly, he'd fit right in at Keyloop, where red numbers vs. targets is a lifestyle.
