I'm really curious if they expect the rest of us to do everything on our own from now on. I don't think it's possible. Not unless we forget we have families and lives outside of work. I'm not sure who decided how to do this, but they have sc--wed up... — read more
New Age Ultimate, New Age America
Welcome to the new age, where employers can cull thousands of employees on a whim, with the kicker being that they try to hide it around a holiday. What a mess, this once great tech company of South Florida was so promising and delightful to work... — read more
Scott and Viv must be shaking their heads
For those that came up through the Ulti ranks, it is really sad to see how things have come together since Scott decided to sell to H&F. Things have gone downhill from there and what was a unique culture is now completely lost. My first inkling of... — read more
Time to unionize?
I realize this won't help the UKrewers that were let go, but we can stop this from happening again, or at the very least ensure it's done with more compassion and visibility than the sh-t show that went down today. Who's up for starting a subreddit... — read more
IT and Engineering will be moved to India
I heard from an internal source that they eventually plan to move all of IT and engineering to offshore.
14% of people North America
And the rest of Europe should follow thereafter… UKG -> Our purpose is people
14% of people and all in North America
Even if I'm not laid off at this point they do these so regularly that I'm going to start looking for another job because this is ridiculous. The lack of job security is astounding and they want to squeeze their engineers so hard that they burn out... — read more
Experienced, Tenured Leadership is gone
When you hire an ex Stanford Water Polo pool boy from a consulting company with a shady reputation, and no direct "skin-in-the-game" product development experience, what could go wrong? Everything. Lack of product development leadership, very few... — read more
If they don’t publicly address these layoffs, I’m quitting
Our purpose is people… yeah right! These are people with families, kids, medical bills, daycare bills, mortgages. I understand that layoffs are part of business but I’m so disgusted by the lack of transparency. Like the title says, if they don’t send... — read more
Layoffs update
What do we know so far? It’s all over the place, and I can’t even begin to try to figure out how many of us and where are being affected.
Another REORG Coming to UKG
Well today we were in a leadership meeting and One of the leaders apologized for the upcoming reorg but said that it's got to be done. The call went silent and nothing else was said and the subject was quickly changed. I know some people try to... — read more
UKG Layoffs Today Were Brutal
My issue is that the company did not have a plan on what to do after the layoff. I had four calls scheduled with customers. All of the calls were canceled because the CRCs were not able to take the calls. We had angry customers escalating... — read more
Classless and Horrible
From what has been explained it was over 250 that were laid off, with no clear severance pay and unemployment compensation benefits. People have lives and mortgages to take care of and yet the higher-ups do nothing but lie. As well as putting all the... — read more
Insider information
Have a friend who was impacted by this and another in a higher position. Between 100-450 affected
More starting today
Heard it was over 200
Can we expect more cuts?
I'm worried they're going to drop even more layoffs on us like this.
86 Cloud employees gone
Another stealth layoff earlier this week that we wouldn’t know about without sites like this one.
I haven't heard anything about more cuts today
So far, it's been quiet. What about elsewhere?
It's more than 265
Nobody can convince me otherwise.
More layoffs throughout the week
Somebody mentioned there'll be more layoffs throughout the week, is this true? How can you know that? I was hoping this would be done in one day to minimize stress and the effect it can have on employee morale. Prolonged layoffs are never good, in my... — read more
When will be our layoffs?
Surprised we haven't had any major layoffs. We are probably among the few large technology companies that haven't laid off. Also with some of our big clients laying off, our revenue should have reduced. Of course the VBO was sort of a layoff with... — read more
Crying Laughing Emojis Galore!
We're forced back into the office and Bob was inundated with "wow" and "crying laughing" emojis in Zoom!
Why not get rid of dead weight?
Who decides who to lay off? It's obviously somebody who has no idea who the employees are and how much they do and only sees us as numbers. If this wasn't true, then we would have lost the real dead weight (and we have plenty of those) and not some... — read more
This was unnecessary
We are hiring like crazy. Just look at all the open positions at UKG right now, there are hundreds of them, if not more! But has anybody been offered a chance to transfer internally before being handed their walking papers? Not that I know of... — read more
6-22 Layoffs

Leaders in 401k matching
Here you go, USG is the leader in 401k matching: Ultimate Software Group Inc. steadily increased the company match for its $281 million 401(k) plan in recent years as it met new revenue targets. In January 2016 the Weston, Fla.-based company pushed... — read more
No job cuts in 2017
Our financial results are amazing and I do not expect any job cuts at USG... We'll see what 2018 brings, but I think we'll be just fine.
