Given you know someone who knows someone that got laid off, mass layoffs are the only possible conclusion.
UKG had a big ransomware attack early this year that spooked a lot of their customers. Wouldn’t be shocked if this was part of the fallout.
They also are going through a big merger of Ultipro and Kronos. Meaning lots of redundant jobs.

Layoffs are common with mergers. Anyone who expected no changes as a result of the merger obviously hasn’t been through this before.
