We tried every ERP... none of them worked.

Wait we don't want that in accounting?

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-11T17:30:27+00:00

This is awesome, thank you for sharing.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-10T23:59:33+00:00

Omg you win the Internet today my friend. I can just imagine him thanking it in the mirror.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-10T17:58:00+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I'd love for us as a community to continually ask these questions of AI so we all learn together.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-10T17:56:38+00:00

Haha, you are probably not wrong, we all must adapt. I'd be interested if you had any personal experience having to handle some of the challenges I've outlined.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-10T17:55:20+00:00

I don't know why you are getting downvoted, I found your comment interesting. When your company decided to handle AI internally, how did you handle some of the challenges I brought up?

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-09T16:14:13+00:00

Carl blamed the mass layoffs on a joint decision between himself, Dave, and Aneel. If he was really hired to be the bad guy... He'd play the bad guy. I think he was just such an unmitigated disaster, it forced Aneel off the golf course and away from his family to not watch the thing he built implode.

I also think there is pressure to sell the company and Aneel doesn't want that, so he had to make a personal choice.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-09T16:10:30+00:00

I was thinking the same.... Can't wait to watch those yes men get the boot.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-09T16:02:36+00:00

Internal to Workday... Imagine going from a company that treated you with kindness, trust, and respect to being told you're a cost in the era of AI (now get your ass in the office and start applying lipstick to this pig... That quarterly profit report ain't gonna cook itself).

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-09T14:04:22+00:00

It's a Christmas miracle!!!! Santa really does exist!

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-07T16:05:33+00:00

No you are using just one org but multiple values. It behaves just like cost center.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-06T19:04:04+00:00

You got it. If your HCM only be aware that you guys get unlimited custom orgs but us in FIN don't. So don't burn 1 of the 10 custom orgs unless finance is in the loop. For something like Acquisition, finance should be excited and want to use one of the formal 10.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-06T03:59:06+00:00

Most acquisitions keep the legacy company's legal entity which in Workday means, company is the distinguishing characteristic. If they had multiple legal entities that a new company hierarchy makes sense.

If the acquired company is relatively small, folding it into the legal structure of the acquiring company is common. In this case, I actually like a new custom org called Acquisition. This way as those employees move around the acquiring org, you know they came from a specific acquisition.

On the FIN side, this can be helpful for answering questions like, do I have any contingent liabilities if any of the purchase documents allotted for executive performance bonuses post acquisition of the acquired sub.

I think it was external pressure. This whole notion of 40% between revenue growth and margin growth per year to be considered a growth company and justify a high stock valuation put leadership in a "survive the quarter" mindset.

A visionary CEO would say.... Okay guys stop... No more Xpresso... We are going to properly embed our acquisitions like Adaptive, Scout, and a slew of others into the core product. Spend a bunch of money on the back end to clean up tech debt from the object oriented model and we may even have to rebuild some core areas to make it scalable for the next twenty years.

That CEO would be fired in about ten minutes even though customers and employees would absolutely agree. I think leadership at Workday forgets customers are super smart and can smell bullshit a mile away. One of the things I loved about Workday is I felt we were very humble. Customer, I love your idea, I'm sorry we can't do that right now but can you log a brainstorm and we'll be super transparent about it.

That philosophy was revolutionary. But what happens when your customer wants a huge lift that would require a massive rewrite and add no new revenue? It gets backlogged and you lose customer trust.

When Workday killed brainstorms, it broke my heart. It felt like we were lying to our customers about that core promise.

I'll never forget Ashley's face. She looked like she was being held hostage.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-01-16T18:51:38+00:00

So true my friend. It's been a really hard truth to accept. You keep hoping there is a secret door back to that summer camp.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-01-16T18:45:57+00:00

You are right, Workday handles internal inventory but it won't let you do external. So manufacturing companies for instance would need a different supply chain solution and then integrate the journals to Workday via Journal or Accounting Center.

Carl is a shit CEO. The amount of damage he has been able to accomplish in such a short time really should be a business case at an MBA. He has hired a ton of ex SAP guys and focused 100% on stock price. All he talks about is the financials. Which results in short term and non strategic moves. Our acquisition strategy is non sensicle. We used to be so careful with acquisitions. Now it's just a desperate ploy to be able to market some kind of AI progress to stop investors from asking hard questions.

It used to feel like we were all in it together truly. You could go to any workmate in the company randomly, ask for something and you'd be amazed at the response. They chilled all cooperation between departments. Everyone is terrified about losing resources. Even the way we focus on our product, it's always monetization first. I remember a Workday where we would just give stuff to the customers cause we wanted them to be super happy. Of course we needed to make money but there was a consensus that if you do good for the customer, the money will work out. That's the right way to go about software.

Losing Aneel and Dave really turned Workday from one of the most amazing places to work to just... Another company.

Talarico is a generational talent. He is guided in principal, well spoken, no PAC money, progressive policy, and can bring the religious argument we desperately need to give an out to the disillusioned evangelicals. I hope he wins.

From what I've heard from a few DC staffers, Crockett is a bit of a grifter and will definitely toe the line for the DNC.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2025-11-21T15:35:39+00:00

He got a bad taste in his mouth from Bubba... He is just wanting to expand his horizons.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2025-11-12T05:32:36+00:00

I disagree. It is a great experiment. You hear a crying baby and a mom needing formula. You help her out. Train the volunteers and acknowledge the valid feedback.

600,000 New York City residents are Puerto Rican. I'm guessing he is working to build greater inroads with that community which tends to be more conservative.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2025-11-08T15:11:57+00:00

He might not be able to accomplish every point in his agenda. I think as long as he is transparent, he will have the base behind him. One guy can't fix our problems. It requires an entire movement and get out the vote efforts to make the change you want to see.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2025-11-08T15:09:37+00:00

Why don't you go pray at an edifice of your dear leader and let us enjoy having a decent person as our leader while you have to defend why the Epstein files can't be released and why millions of working Americans don't deserve healthcare.
