The Lede
Since 2006, Workday, which provides software for payroll, talent management, and expense processing, has been making a mint creating misery where painless processes could be. More than half of the Fortune 500 companies use Workday to pay, hire, onboard, and administer benefits to their employees. Few seem happy about this.
Key Details
- Trillions of dollars in revenue and tens of millions of employees are at the mercy of Workday's back-end people-management software.
- Unlike its predecessors, Workday stores our profiles as objects that relate to each other, linked with metadata. How this works is less important than the fact that it means Workday could conceivably build its own encrypted database of our information.
- Workday is indifferent to our suffering in a job hunt, because we aren't Workday's clients, companies are.
