No one really cares about UKG anymore. After the layoff news, no talent will want to join UKG. Except people nearing retirement, everyone else are looking for new jobs. UKG isn’t meta/Google, with the mediocre pay they are done for good. One more... — read more

I'm not staying here a day longer than I have to and I know for a fact I'm far from the only one who's had it with this place. UKG has shown complete disregard and lack of respect for employees and we have taken note. The company is about to... — read more

Heard from a manager that HR in closed

I’m expected to pick up work for people who were laid off. It’s not going to happen. None of us should accept doubled workload. It’s their problem, not ours. They decided to be cheap, so should we. You get what you pay for, that’s all. If the volume... — read more 

When I joined, I was excited. They made the right noises acted like they cared. This is all proven to be false. Time to look for somewhere I can be proud to work. I’m really sorry for the folks who’ve lost their jobs. You all deserve so much... — read more 

I worked for Kronos for several years early in my career. When the financial crisis of 2008 hit, Aaron Ain kept us ALL. We sacrificed our bonuses that year, and they kept every single employee. We were not doing well. Soon after he hired Chris Todd... — read more

Have they had the all hands meeting about this yet? If so, please share what the internal messaging is. Thank you.

Are there any areas that are still not done with cuts?

I'm sorry if this is considered common knowledge but I've been here for a little over a year and I don't know an answer to it. I'd just like to know if I am affected in one of the future rounds if I'd get any severance. Or please point me to where I... — read more

Based in EMEA. Who's next? The way it was done absolutely su-ks. I've a mortgage to pay and other commitments. To those who lost their jobs, my heart goes out to you, it was a cr-ppy move to do it on the 3rd. :-(

I didn't get this chart as part of my separation agreement although it was called out. Checking to see if anyone else did.

Will the top brass have the guts to use words like care, dignity, UKrew, support and family next week? What BS will they try and push down the chain of command? The external and internal propaganda on culture, purpose is people, great place to work... — read more 

Just a heads up, found out today if you have approved or pending leave of absence you will likely find out Monday if you have been laid off.

Not laid off this time. But I’ve watched competent people being booted as if they are office supplies. How much of an empty shell of a human being do you have to be to need all that money, extracted by destroying people, their dignity and their... — read more

All remaining employees should strike and demand the rehiring of employees. If the company came to a hault they would have to listen to us because this would surely hurt their IPO.

All remaining employees should strike! As a collective voice we should demand to have some employees rehired. The IPO won’t be posible if no one in the company is working.

Someone should ask, “Chris, do you feel like the failure we all think you are???”

I would not recommend anyone start working for UKG. The culture is horrible. They do not listen to their employees.

From what I hear, people have been affected across the board. I can’t figure out the logic. It’s just nasty.

They don't give a damn. Whether they quit or are dismissed, those sc-mbags continue to receive multimillion-dollar packages. Chris, tell me about your law school education and what you learned about "JUSTICE." Chris may say: Whoa! People are merely... — read more

Nothing more american than rampant corporate greed and a complete disregard for workers!
