Thread regarding ADP layoffs

Carlos is the CEO so it is his fault for destroying jobs and creating hardships for families. To bad that boat didn’t sink when his parents came over to the USA.

No, it's not JUST the CEO's fault, but make no mistake, he is corrupt and his actions to eliminate 15,000 people in order to replace many with cheap, incompetent labor at a quarter to at third the cost will have consequences. That decision ultimately stops with him. Perhaps he would never have hurt so many Americans if his parents who came to America illegally were not allowed to stay here as they broke the law. Seems the saying "No good deed goes unpunished" is truer than ever!

ADP leverages current technology specific to debelop Web and Mobile Wireframe UI’s backfilled by API’s to provide a Record Keeping Service for Employers and their respective Employees, period. Anything beyond that is PURE Hocum.

If they want to be a tech company why did Carlos give the head of IT job to Stuart sackman who was never a technical guy? He’s great a what he does best which is sales and marketing but def never been technical. From what I understand Stuart has since moved on and someone else is in that job now but I don’t know anything about his background so I can’t comment.

Yes, ADP is definitely NOT a technology company. That Lifion creature that ADP has created in their attic is something else. And not in a good way. All smoke and mirrors to fool the clients.

ADP is anything but a tech company! Stuart Sackman? Really? And his band of sycophants? They are completely a joke.

Not one customer gives a flying f--- about ADP's half century old designed backends. They do care that ADP can't make a simple payroll change because of three literal human generations of coding cruft on top of it. Survey after survey has people switching from ADP, and no one is unhappy about it. Don't buy into the Koolaid. Our sh-- stinks to high heaven, and we're so ossified we cannot react to customer requests for change without a military sized budget, while our competitors can turn on a dime. ADP's customer satisfaction is right there with Comcast and the DMV, and people will happily switch to any offer on the table, especially at a lower price.

Carlos is the problem....not the mainframe environment. I was in IT for 32 years in the Systems and Utility Department. We were always up to date on ALL hardware and IBM software. I posted months ago that Carlos was an 'outsider ' to ADP and somebody replied that he was not.......Many folks replied back and stated that as far as ADP's bread and butter business, he knew nothing about it. He most certainly is an 'outsider '.......he knows jack sh*t about how a mainframe environment works.

I remember the day he became CEO, everybody who knew him said we are f**ked. He is going to ruin ADP........I told my direct reports that we are in for BIG changes in the years to come and they were all going to be BAD....kinda sorry I was so right!

The company requires multiple individuals to take the financials in the direction designed by the CEO. He's still in charge and is sanctioning this behavior. He is also benefiting GREATLY from a financial perspective while simultaneously destroying the livelihood of individuals who cannot afford to lose their jobs. He sanctioned the removal of stock purchase through the 401(k) plan so that there were more shares available for the executives and the public. The shares that employees had were moved into another fund. It was sneaky and wrong. He believes ADP is a tech company when we are processing payrolls through a 60+ year old mainframe that is nothing but patches and antiquated. ADP is a customer service company. Carlos has sanctioned for the removal of tenured individuals who know how to keep happy clients and forced unexperienced newbies to take over at a much reduced salary. Carlos has sanctioned sunsetting customer software and forcing clients to adopt another or leave. That's just bad business. Overall, he is the CEO and the fate of the company rests on his shoulders no matter how many others conspire to these ill-conceived changes.

Duh?
