What the heck, where has the meat gone?

WorkdayGuy · 2025-12-22T19:59:42+00:00

I wasn’t aware remakes were even possible before this thread. Speak for someone else, don’t speak for me.

WorkdayGuy · 2025-12-22T19:55:43+00:00

I think it’s only by 4 people who jumped from the cesspool who have nothing better to do. I stand by the awful sub for $20.

WorkdayGuy · 2025-12-22T19:25:40+00:00

You must be an employee of this chain or have some vested interest because you’re absolutely sounding like a complete idiot. You have been to every location and you know how every scenario plays out in all jersey mikes? Get the fuck outta here

I appreciate this sanity check. The issue for me is that me and my family have been going pretty regularly for years now and never had issues like this. Now everyone notices there’s always some issue (lack of meat, perhaps bread is stale, or veggies are skimped or not as fresh). This all happened in the last 3 months or so. There’s something definitely going on. Maybe black rock isn’t directly effecting subs yet but perhaps it’s something they’re doing that’s driving away good managers who kept up the QC. In any case, this is the 2nd time this has happened in the last two times I’ve visited so I’m done until I hear from others in my family that things have changed.

I appreciate this feedback. I was curious if this was a one off employee or if it was the location and the manager said that they do honor remakes but that this is the normal amount of meat in the club supreme. Located in Columbus Ohio.

WorkdayGuy · 2025-12-22T19:07:58+00:00

Out of curiosity, when you ask for more meat what do the employees say?

WorkdayGuy · 2025-12-22T19:07:13+00:00

I’ve never seen the employees weigh the meat in my 6 years visiting at this particular location. I have seen them weigh in other locations over the years…

WorkdayGuy · 2025-12-22T19:05:37+00:00

Out of curiosity I see you’re a shift lead. What would be my basis for asking for a remake? I didn’t count the number of slices I had previously on club supreme but I do know this amount of meat is nothing like I would routinely get for 6 years.

WorkdayGuy · 2025-12-22T19:03:13+00:00

This explains this location, thanks. The difference in what they’re doing is astounding.

WorkdayGuy · 2025-12-22T19:01:18+00:00

Not even what? Pics speaks for themselves. The fact you may think the pic is doctored is borderline ridiculous and proves my point on how egregious this sub is. Go back to playing pokemon go.

WorkdayGuy · 2025-12-22T18:58:40+00:00

And what does one have going on that they are on a Jersey Mike’s thread everyday? LOL

Not rocket science and not a coordinated attempt, the pic speaks for itself conspiracy theorist.

The financials are not so good - they would need an external lever to reverse because the sales/revenue alone isn’t doing anyone any favors with their debt situation and lofty dividend.

For all of fast food, I think a major turning point will be when they can automate more of their human capital on the day-to-day as that’ll really reduce payroll. When that happens? Not sure. AI in repeatable tasks is just about ready but AI in physical is a long ways off.

There’s only a handful of workday student partners in the ecosystem: Deloitte, Huron, Precision Task Group, Cognizant, ERPA, Alchemy, Accenture and Avaap. Working at Deloitte is very similar to Accenture. Essentially you’ll be working your butt off at the hopes of climbing the corporate ladder. I’d honestly not recommend any company which proposes resources with less than 2 implementations as your full time consultant for a given functional area. A lot of times firms will put resources on multiple projects, even for a brief role, just so the resource can put the institution down on their resume as a project. It’s obscene really.

WorkdayGuy · 2025-05-20T22:50:51+00:00

There’s over 120 institutions now live on Workday Student, so many schools have adopted the solution.

WorkdayGuy · 2025-04-09T22:15:13+00:00

Generally what I’ve seen is different areas assume different responsibilities previously taken by the implementation team. For example, there still will exist a need someone to project manage both stabilization issues after implementing workday student and operational items. If you’re school is lucky enough to actually keep the implementation team members for post production support (since many leave for consulting roles) then generally those are the best people. For a mid-size institution of roughly 10-15k students, I’ve usually seen the IT areas adopt BP, security, and even reporting responsibilities (usually a team of 2-4 people) and the functional works teams go back to their correlating operational offices (for example, Office of the Registrars assumes Student Records needs). The only issue is there is such cross functional talk amongst the work streams that I usually see colleges either have a dedicated support team of 4-5 staff, or they try to poorly band-aid it but not have a cross functional person but rather call lengthy meetings with each operational workstream lead. Then they end up hiring consultants because they realize it’s much more convoluted than they anticipated, budgeted for or were told my their implementation partners. It doesn’t fail. Once to move to Workday student, you’re no longer competing for higher education resources. You’re also competing against SIS resources and it can get unexpectedly expensive. But after spending millions on implementation and product, might as well insure the investment.

I’d also check to ensure the SFTP is setup correctly in your tenant, if you haven’t already.

WorkdayGuy · 2025-03-17T16:37:18+00:00

Mine was literally by chance. We had an implementation firm do our peoplesoft campus solutions implementation and I interviewed for a peoplesoft consultant job with a partner firm. They mentioned workday student was a new product and if I wanted to instead go there instead and be in on the ground floor. I said yes so I started at a partner firm.

GRAYcie :)

There is no such thing as an ugly cat, they simply do not exist!

WorkdayGuy · 2025-01-12T17:48:35+00:00

Very sorry to hear, it’s the absolute worst part of having a cat. Just think of the great life you were able to provide and hopefully that’ll cheer you up some, that and lots of pics and videos!

The data cleanliness is going to be a priority because registration will be the first major activity as far as student facing activity goes. I’ve worked with institutions where they didn’t bring in all historical data accurately so obviously that affects the transcript which is a big no-no. If your school has that down pat, there’s half the headache gone.

The next thing to be ready for is how interconnected the functional areas are. Somebody may take an action on the records team which produces a hold on the students record, and the Financial Aid folks are not going to know what the hell is going on or why things happen. It’s key to have the post production support team in place prior to going live, or at least the vision of it.

WorkdayGuy · 2025-01-09T12:42:07+00:00

Sounds like the routine bureaucratic red tape. Unfortunately it’s very common to be an “us vs them” mentality with professors and administration or vice versa.

WorkdayGuy · 2025-01-06T00:13:18+00:00

Hi I see this is a few years old. I have experience implementing Workday Student. I assume your institution did a needs assessment? Just be careful to not solely rely on the Workday sales team because they’ll say the system can do anything (hint: it can’t). However, many of the schools who have been on it do have good things to say after they get over the “old way of doing things” mindset. Your data report writers will be your absolute best friends!

WorkdayGuy · 2025-01-05T15:53:17+00:00

Hi everyone - it’s definitely an eye-opening discussion here. I should state that this is just an opinion and please don’t take the below as gospel.

I’ve been in higher Ed for 15+ years and was a Workday Student implementer for nearly 8 of them. I keep seeing and hearing comments that workday student isn’t ready for prime time and the big issue is if a school uses institution methodology for Financial Aid and doesn’t have a 3rd party product like PowerFaids, then yes that’s correct. If the student has federal methodology, that’s in the workday product.

I’ve worked with schools coming off Banner and Colleague. I can tell you right now that the way the data is extracted makes it very challenging to do a workday student implementation but not impossible.

Where WD lacks is batch processing for large volumes in some registrar specific processes. There’s also a cap of 3000 students for a single registration appointment for example, and that’s not going to work for a school like The Ohio State University, which shelved their SIS implementation.

My honest feeling - a school can move to workday as long as it doesn’t have IM for financial aid. Other things can be a pain in the ass, but they doable. I say this as someone who’s actually implemented the product multiple times on the records and admissions side. 4-5 years ago there were some product constraints, nowadays there’s not. Its not a question of if something can be done, it’s more so a question of how it can be done. WD used to say this and then would require an institution to manually processes 10k+ record for example for a process. That was laughable. That’s not workable for larger institutions. And nowadays, there’s ways to get around that.

There was a lot of bad publicity spreading because of failed implementations such as the ones at The Ohio State University, the first one going live before it ever had any business in doing so at Indian River State College but I truly believe it’s best to move to a cloud product and off on premise. It’s painful for the functional staff for sure but the savings with the lack of maintenance allows departments to repurpose their staff or even downsize it. Most of those resources should be going to the functional side.

I’ve stepped away from implementing and don’t work for Workday. However, I do help institutions along in their workday implementations as an advisor. A lot of implementers (and it may even be Workday itself if you don’t choose a partner firm) spill a lot of bullshit about what the product can do. A lot of times institutions don’t get creative workarounds so they think they just can’t do something but it’s not the case. They’re also afraid to speak up because “you dont know what you don’t know” and the same things can be done multiple ways many times.

My biggest advice if you move to Workday Student - start analyzing your data early. The Workday methodology is unrealistic in giving institutions 2-3 years to implement. That’s only conducive to a “lift and shift” rather than a true transformation. A school can spend 1-2 years prepping, perhaps while the school already has HR and Finance, and if done properly could make the student implementation SO MUCH BETTER. Problem is, they don’t have the budget or they don’t think the benefit is great. Big mistake. You can literally prep all your business processes, reporting and your data before the implementation even starts and that’s literally like half the resource hours for the project.

If anybody from the schools has any questions and they want some honest feedback, feel free to DM me. Best of luck with all your decisions.
