Grieving Workday

Pros

Flexible RTO and Cloud Care

Cons

Many of us are grieving the Workday that we joined. It’s unrecognizable now. I’m sad that we are now focused on acquisitions and revenue targets - it’s exhausting and difficult to get excited about putting money in someone else’s pocket. Instead of focusing on Company Values, we focus on what our new leadership wants - documentation and updates. We spend a majority of our time prepping for updates instead of innovating. Moving quickly and breaking things is outdated and doesn’t work for enterprise business suites. We do not ask customers what problems they need us to solve, we focus on escalations and applying AI where we can deliver quickly.

Pros

Really good benefits, health, financial advice. Relatively good salaries. Good office location and really friendly workmates

Cons

Expecting more from less constantly, no more customer centric practices, and an all consuming focus on profits . The recent layoffs have had a serious impact on the morale in the office.

We know the recent restructuring has been difficult. These were hard decisions and we’re committed to supporting those impacted during this transition.
