      There had to be a designated fall guy if the bad pr got too bad. This was planned to happen so that the rest of the board that made the decision can continue on with more.

      > Cofounder Aneel Bhusri returns as CEO for the fourth time.

      Are they just taking turns being CEO?

      Surely this CEO will make where we only need one account for all workday job applications.

      Gotta hide in your bunker for a while after wielding the axe that many times.

      they probably got a massive bonus for laying off all those people then just ran with it to the next company to do the same

      great way to keep morale is to bring in an outsider to play the bad guy only to have the prior CEO step back in when the cuts are made

      makes them look almost charitable like they’re coming back to save the company and possibly you from the next round of cuts when in reality it was planned for over a year and told you to your face multiple times that no layoffs were planned (while secretly judging who they would keep)

      It’s no surprise to hear this. Workday is one of the worst products I’ve ever had to use and that’s saying something given some of the crap software I’ve had to put up with.

      Wonder if it has anything to do with their exceptionally terrible end user experience.

      I hope when looking for their next job the old CEO has to fill out the same information 57x on shitty sites like Workday.

      These HRIS-ERPs are truly horrible for businesses.   

      The use case is *“Implement this solution, and bring managers can self serve new recs…you can remove 2 recruitment heads!*“.  

      What’s never said is that the recruiter was making $60K and could open a rec in 5 min, the hiring manager is making $150, and it takes them an hour because Workday was configured with „Five Boroughs Metro Area“ instead of „NYC“, for some good forsaken reason.

      Workday with me here. Other than the daily grind, WTF is a Workday and why should I care?

      >The company — a software provider for payroll, talent management, and expense processing

      Ok, outsourced HR SaaS.

      >“As we enter a defining moment shaped by AI, there is no one better than Aneel to lead this next chapter,“

      Ok we canned peeps for clankers, and this is bad for some reason.

      >Carl Eschenbach is being succeeded by Workday cofounder and executive chair Aneel Bhusri, who has held the top job three times before.

      Founder longs to give up the chair for the bikini yacht thing, but has separation anxiety. The next CEO candidate needs an ironclad escrowed contract.

      >The company — a software provider for payroll, talent management, and expense processing — said Eschenbach will become a strategic advisor to Bhusri.

      This golden parachute at least comes with an indian giver consultancy.

      Bah, humbug. This Bhusri guy needs a Xanax and a Margarita. He needs to divest. You did the baby’s first steps thing, the burping and diapers, the acne and angst, cap and gown and now it’s time to let babe be who she’s going to be. Let go.

      How did workday become the saas of choice for fortune500s like – it’s so bad.

      Our university system partially implemented it, we were part of that, and it’s been absolute turmoil in admin and finance ever since. Just a shit show.

      He exits with a 500 million dollar bonus. He saved the company so much money. Share holders rejoice.
