aside from the line of bull I have heard from a leader or two about how this was a reorg that resulted in a layoff, I feel sympathetic to many managers here they were thrust into this sh--storm. Talking to one new 'new' manager, they had no clue what plans were for reorg post layoff, and admitted they were not even sure they had a place at CDK moving forward. This was nearly a month after the layoff. As a 'survivor', the optimistic part of me hopes there are opportunities here moving forward for me, but I am looking elsewhere too. Now people are scrambling around trying to get work done with little to no support from management, especially the ELT.
One or two people with relationships at some big dealer groups have told me they are exploring ways to clue them in, not because they want to destroy CDK, but out of respect for our customers who deal with us, and rely on us to help them run their business. I was told they feel customers need to know why they are paying for substandard products and support. Whether or not they will, or have I do not know.
A few years ago, if you would have told me that ADP/CDK was in danger of being run into the ground, I would have been skeptical. We are the big player in our space. Now, with the brain drain and destruction of customer support, I genuinely feel that under these executives, there is a better than average chance CDK will go under.
