Once Employee-Centric, Now Just Another Profit-Driven Company
Unlimited Leave & Leave of Absence Policy: Workday offers unlimited PTO and leave of absence options, which can be beneficial for work-life balance—if you actually feel safe using them.
Leave at Your Own Risk: While unlimited PTO and leave of absence policies sound great on paper, taking extended time off can put you on the radar for the next round of layoffs. It creates an unspoken culture where employees hesitate to fully utilize these benefits.
If Workday truly values its employees, leadership must align actions with words and restore trust. Layoffs should be based on real business needs, not just market trends.
Improve transparency in decision-making and communicate long-term workforce strategies more clearly. Balance innovation and financial goals without undermining employee morale and job security.
