Things appear well...but you know...who knows? Anyone else a current employee and have thoughts?
One year ago today I was handed my walking papers
On July 3, 2024 at 9:30 a.m. I received an email notifying me that I was being let go after seven years of great performance reviews. One year later, I am so very thankful. I am now working in a different industry with people who respect and value me... — read more
Headless chicken
UKG is playing catch up to its competitors and is slimming down for its next fight. For the fight to happen, UKG needs to show its parent holding company the numbers warrant the multi-million dollar match. If sales don't make their numbers, layoffs... — read more
Rumors of layoffs in August
Anyone knows anything about this?
IPO discussion in Townhall meeting
UKG going public soon?
Employee appreciation day video TLDW;
Thanks for working hard as we finalize the next round of layoffs and the outsourcing of your jobs to someone in India.
A lawsuit alleging that UKG breached a contract with
https://www.hrdive.com/news/pf-changs-dismisses-ukg-employee-data-lawsuit/737612/ Chris Todd never mentions it. During the time, UKG got hacked but never revealed how they fixed it for customers. They kept the secrets internally.
Trust Survey & Town Halls
Last town hall "These terrible trust survey results are super important to us! Your comments were terrifically detailed and very helpful. We will be back to you next town hall with important updates." This town hall "These trust survey results are... — read more
One Company
Mouthpieces keep babbling about needing to be "One Company". News flash. The worker bees dont care about which legacy org they came from. Someone at the top made up that excuse to explain poor results. The issue is that the new version of the... — read more
These guys can never fail
It’s infuriating to see Chris Todd, after running this place and causing over 2,000 people to lose their jobs, land yet another CEO position. These people only seem to fail upward. I feel terrible for the employees at Envestnet. They have no idea... — read more
Reality Check
They pumped the "going public" narrative so hard for a couple of years... then they couldn't pull it off. Rule of 40 yada yada yada. You hear nothing about that now from C-suite. Not much chatter about DEIB either. It's all gone sour. Rumors... — read more
UKG Sales people - RUN
As long as they’ve got geniuses like Rachel, Spiros (are you kidding me?) and Justin (are you KIDDING me?) “leading” sales you will be saddled with needless process, no transparency and general disdain for what you do as they look down their noses at... — read more
More layoffs incoming?
Even though teams are down to skeleton crews in many departments, talk of more layoffs in the near future is growing. I would advise staying far away from this company, they are too cheap to to pay janitorial staff to empty wastebaskets at the few... — read more
Hands down one of the most pathetic companies
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
This company is COOKED and will close its doors in two years
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??
Profits are their purpose
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.
Be KIND. Offer Voluntary Layoff.
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
Tons of change at C suite level..
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?
Nice suits. Likes winners. Otherwise brings nothing to the table. Empty. No ideas.
You know what I'm talking about.
UKG is putting employees on PIPs so they can fire them
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
UKG Noida Layoff
There are expected to be layoffs in Noida in the coming weeks/months. This was confirmed in a leadership meeting !
The SKO felt so wrong
Kicking out many Ukrewers and spend the saved salaries on this event. The decadence at UKG is amazing.
Duplicitous Company
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
More dark days ahead
Managers are being asked to force fit performance evaluations for their team into the curve they provided of 10% 20% 50% 10% 10% for each rating of 1-5. People accomplished originally are being pushed below to fit the distribution. All a part of a... — read more
UKG headcount growing although they just kicked out more than 2200 employees
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
So what if CEO is gone
I think we are too far gone for anyone to save us. Company has been directionless for too long, and had been run over by competition before we had even been aware of the fact. So many talented and competent people were let go. To even have a shot at... — read more
CEO is down, it's a Karma
Oh yeah! It made my day!
CEO has announced to step down
Todd has just announced to step down. I wonder if he received his notice by FedEx!
Extremely chaotic
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
Were any remote employees given 60 days of leave before separation?
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
More layoffs to look forward to?
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
Gonna quit without any notice

Transparency, open communication - UKG is done
UKG in the states have gotten themselves into trouble by declining their teams so drastically they are not able to operate daily business. Other teams have to to take over tasks from those who left. They say it is only temporary, but would not dare... — read more
So what's next? UKG got rid of top performers and thinks hiring in "that region" is a good move?

Time is passing more slowly
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

Severance formulas do not value many years of service
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
