Workday, a major human resources software platform with a market value of $73 billion, is laying off 1,750 employees, accounting for 8.5% of its workforce. CEO Carl Eschenbach acknowledged the painful news for both departing and remaining workers. The layoffs aim to redirect resources into other business areas. Additionally, there's growing criticism on social media regarding Workday's cumbersome application process, which forces users to create separate accounts for each position they apply for, leading to frustration among job seekers.
I realize this is tough news, and it affects all of us-the Workmates who are leaving and those who'll continue with us," Workday CEO Carl Eschenbach wrote in an email to employees about the layoffs, which has since been published on Workday's blog. "I encourage you to work from home or head home, if you're already in the office."
Several threads on Reddit called out Workday for requiring that users create a new account for every new job they apply for at different companies.
