Workday Targets 400 for Layoffs
Realigning Focus or Merely Reducing Expenses?
Workday has opted to let go of approximately two percent of its workforce. This endeavor is aimed at aligning their team with what they perceive as the “top priorities.” Yes, it sounds suspiciously like corporate jargon for trimming costs at the cost of employees’ jobs.
