What’s going on at Workday?

Workday is eliminating approximately 1,750 jobs, or more than eight per cent of its total workforce, as part of a restructuring.

“Our journey at Workday has always been about challenging the status quo, embracing change, and putting our customers at the heart of everything we do,” CEO Carl Eschenbach said in a memo to staff.
