You’re Not Ready for This: Latest Workday Layoffs Hide a Big Secret In recent weeks, Workday—one of the world’s leading enterprise cloud software providers—has shocked employees, investors, and industry watchers with a sweeping layoff round that goes far deeper than routine restructuring. Known publicly as a strategic response to market pressures, the latest round of job cuts reveals a harrowing insight into the company’s hidden challenges: You’re Not Ready for This. ### The Scale of the Layoffs Workday announced on March 5, 2025, that it would eliminate approximately 10% of its global workforce—roughly 6,000 roles across sales, engineering, finance, and support functions. What makes this move particularly striking is that it follows months of declining stock performance and increasing competition in the enterprise SaaS space. But insiders say this isn’t a deliberate downsizing; internal documents reportedly suggest leadership viewed layoffs as a “shock therapy” to accelerate cost-cutting before deeper reforms.
