Topics regarding layoffs at UKG / Ultimate Kronos Group / Ultimate Software Group Inc.

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 

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.

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 

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?

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

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

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 

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 

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

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
