Is this a joke!?! Do they really expect to achieve this?
Slack is going away and MS Teams is going in
not really a major issue until you consider that everyone and every team is supposed to migrate with less than two weeks notice.
Laid off and going to work for a competitor
What are the consequences if I was laid off and I go to work for a competitor prior to my one year post layoff? Would CDK sue me? Any suggestions? Thoughts? Feedback??
What happened at Southwest Airlines is happening at CDK
When the only objective of the company is to be more profitable over the expense of everything else a major meltdown is not an if, but a when.

Stub Bonus Payout - Sham
Just learned that no Sept - Dec 2022 Stub bonus will be paid to employees terminiated on Dec 15. This is what I figured would happen. Work like a dog until the end and then get SH*T on by Brian and company. Good Riddance CDK and best of luck to BM
Top Heavy
CDK went and hired another executive this week. Another high priced person to micromanage the peons that slave away here in the field. They are so top heavy it’s not funny.
Intern to full time conversion 2022
I interned at CDK in summer 2022. Any idea if CDK giving return offers this year? Asking this due to recent layoffs in the company
So many things have gone wrong
CDK is plagued by a terrible culture, a senior leadership that blames the rank-and-file employees for their poor business decisions, and widespread unethical behavior. I cannot speak for others, but I would be delighted to be laid off. No matter... — read more
I'm tired of this management
The lack of transparency and lack of trust in the workforce is turning this into a horrible place to work. Treating workers like children rather than giving them authority and autonomy to do their jobs is causing many of us to consider leaving... — read more
Vacation
Hope you have a good manager, because I feel drained but I can't get a vacation. My requests for vacation are continuously denied because the company needs me to do work. Anyone else with this problem? I need advice. How did you act in a situation... — read more
Somebody mentioned more layoffs in November
Several people mentioned the potential continuation of layoffs in November. Do we know more about it? If it's true, can we expect it at the start of the month or more towards the end? I wouldn't put it past this sorry excuse for leadership to decide... — read more
Brian MacDonald: Back with a vengeance
On July 12, 2022 when I heard the news that Brian Krzanich resigned from CDK and Brian MacDonald was taking over again, I knew that CDK was doomed. CDK had just become one of the best companies to work for under BK’s leadership, I guarantee you that... — read more
Ersatz CEO Brian MacDonald puts CDK into a COMA; Brookfield signs the DNR!
Brian MacDonald, CDK's ersatz CEO, is a kid hooked on the sugar rush he gets with an EBITDA so high, he's placed CDK in a diabetic coma. He is a one-trick pony addicted to firing that will likely continue to lay waste to the company. Even if he... — read more
Poor planning
It's terrible how disorganized this company has become. Have you experienced this much poor planning anywhere else? I doubt it. They have absolutely lost their direction, as if they don't know what they are doing at all. I consider it pure luck... — read more

The US Surgeon General says CDK sucks
Check out the report on mental health and wellness, and see how many boxes CDK doesn't check in being a great workplace. https://www.hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/priorities/workplace-well-being/index.html
CDK is the worst place to work at
CDK Global is heading in the wrong direction, laying off most of its tenured employees. Feel sorry for the clients as there isn’t any support left for them.
CDK "was" a wonderful company to work for.
After working for ADP/CDK for over 40 years, the company is now destined to fail. We had 500 cases sitting in the System 1 queue. Some of the caes are 2 weeks old. Few are available to even look at the cases. Then we're switched to half-baked... — read more
What a relief
I thought that the layoff would be the end of the world for me, but now that the emotions have calmed down a bit, I feel a great relief..
You know what the biggest thumb in the eye is?
The prefix for the E-mail address they use to send the documentation you need to sign after being laid off is ALUMNI. "Congratulations! You've graduated... to the unemployment line!"
Make sure to leave BM and CDK a rivew on glass door.
As I recall the low rating pi---d off BM last time so we might as well drop it down again. It was a real slap in the face when they put that guy back in charge, I wouldn't trust that guy with a hot dog stand. If they are going to play games at the... — read more
What can we expect next week?
I know I won't be able to relax this weekend. I don't know if layoffs will spill over into the next week or not but since I don't trust management anymore - they have lied to us so many times and they do not deserve our trust - I'm leaving all... — read more
Cheaper workforce is a quick solution, but...
it is definitely not the best solution. Cheaper workforce, which is what this leadership is aiming for, is not a solution without problems in the long run. Many perplexities could begin to arise from this... Thoughts?
Clients need to be altered
We all worked so hard supporting our clients. It was personal. Cdk clients need to be very aware of what’s going on. Support is going to be nothing A very large probability of it being an India associate that has no business supporting our customers... — read more
When did it all go downhill?
While I'm mentally preparing to be laid off and doing my best to increase the chances of getting a new offer as soon as possible, I'm trying to recall exactly when everything went downhill here. Because it used to be really nice to work here. If... — read more
This is not about long-term gains
There are two ways to increase profit. Cut overhead expenses or invest in future long-term growth. Guess which quick and dirty solution was chosen that holds little risk? Ki----g off tenured talent is not positioning for long-term growth. B-Mac... — read more
List of Departments Affected?
I figure it would be good for everyone if we could try to keep a tally or at least have awareness of departments that are being cut, maybe a approximate or estimated headcount as well?
What business school did these people go to??
How does CDK expect to increase revenue if they just laid off half the engineers installing their products? They don't actually know how to grow, only cut. Sad.
MacDonald with the Thanos snap at it again
Bowel Movement is at it again with more layoffs... second round since returning in July. Anyone know how many this time? Will it ever end? I'm hoping I'm one of the lucky to get let go.
BPM needs to be stopped
This guy is bananas and clearly does not care about employee or company success. It's borderline criminal! It may actually be criminal...
Numbers and target groups
Does anyone know how many people will be affected and who are the main targets?
What's the situation with severance?
Has it been reduced? What was offered in this round? Is anything else part of the package? I'm sorry about so many questions, but since we all know that layoffs are not done I would like to know what people who are being shown the door are receiving... — read more
Are we done with cuts?
