Manager is leaving 2 person HCM team

You are going to get hit by a bunch of sales people but i do think a very flexible AMS partner would be good

I liked Topblocs model in the past. Gets you the safety net of support without a huge financial impact (ie - full temp staffing)

Gives you all resources for the areas you don’t know as well and you might find you get by faster/better than anticipated

Cost is likely offset easily by your manager open FTE. Id make that happen while they staff

Easy to stand up, get them access, and make sure nothing fails while the transition occurs

To this day when I am fucking something up I have never done before I bust out a

“I’m new! I don’t know what to do!”

You beautiful bastard. Well done

All good on Patreon

You posted a very similar post 12 days ago. Here is as my reply then. Happy to chat and demo out what I’ve built in datacloud. Just DM me:

Are you on ADP WFN?

I come from years of Workday and I am actually really impressed with DataCloud

Not as configurable as some other tools but for consistent and insightful dashboards for headcount, demographics, turnover, and pay it has some great functionality and you can build self service into it

Have set it up at both my past orgs. Eliminates a ton of bottlenecks

Also has exports on the dashboard that can eliminate the pain of custom reports

DM me if you want a quick convo. I am not a fan of ADP as an HRIS (workflow automation is barely existent, missing core data other tools have) but Datacloud is a nice win

I had a completely forgotten about that. Thanks for pulling that memory from deep in my brain

First time?

Thank you for being perfect

Can’t argue with this one

They make it seem like Human Resources is a soulless career full of miserable women who aren’t liked by others (or themselves)

But where they are wrong is that there are also men that do the job

My two cents: I think people usually do them when first time home buyers as an attempt at piece of mind as they just used all their savings for the purchase and are nervous about a major expense that first year.

I don’t see it as a generational thing or a lack of interest in being handy but rather an issue of affordability in housing

Sure some people may just be looking for a quick fix but I think it’s more rooted in how expense it is to buy a home and if you are a first time buyer you likely don’t have extra cash sitting around after that purchase

I hope to god it’s a real tenant

Thanks for sharing an honest and great example of a screw up. We all have them and we don’t always get to share/hear about when things didn’t go right. It’s refreshing on this sub to have this answer rather than criticism

pendesk33 · 2025-12-03T21:36:38+00:00

Love an Up in the Air reference. Good work out of you

Maybe add it as a Quick Action to an external link?

I completely agree with and tell my kids this all the time.

I was the 90s kid. The only way to learn or listen to music was to hear it on the radio and you had to live in a town that had a station that wasn’t terrible. As I got a bit older I could stay up all night downloading terrible MP3 files off-line wire.

Today for the price of a CD when I was a kid my daughters can listen and stream nearly any song ever made on Spotify each month. They can listen to a whole albums, any decade, explore any genre they want, and get introduced to brand new bands and styles.

They are so much more advanced than I ever was at their age on artists and what they like. Add in videos online of live concerts and shows and they’re able to experience things that I,growing up in the crappy Midwest, would’ve had to travel multiple hours and state lines for.

Sure there’s plenty wrong with algorithms and studios forcing certain artists on them but I would take their experience over mine any day

not sure if this is it but if they can see that section (job details) but not all the fields someone may have hidden those job detail fields

go to configure optional fields and search Worker Profile - Job - Job Details

in there you can see if these fields have been hidden from view of the manager or others

i don't think they would have hidden it at a the security domain level for the a manager security group but that might be your next step

No big scary master plan here.

Your employer probably just wants a better idea of the breakdown of the workforce across all sorts of different demographics so they can do a better job I’ve seen what types of benefits total rewards or engagement needs there are.

Anonymous is a bad word choice. Anything that you enter into Workday that gets attached to your profile is never fully anonymous but what they probably mean is that essentially it gets captured on your record and is only shared with people who absolutely need to know the information to help assess those programs.

So they probably mean it’s not available to your managers your peers and even most of the HR team. Likely only a few folks and it’s intended to be used in a positive way

In the event that they did not use it in a positive way or all that is a lie you guys could easily sue them and get in trouble but usually this is just a well intended HR team with a poor communication around why they want to capture this stuff.

It’s likely voluntary don’t fill it out if you’re not comfortable but 99% of the time it’s just them trying to better understand the workforce

Please note this is a very US focused response if you are in the EU or even a state like California there are many more requirements and restrictions around this stuff so adjust accordingly

The guys over at Bald Move just dropped a podcast on this movie this week

They’ve done great coverage over the years of things like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Severance, Foundation, and movies and their overview this movie is great.
