Editorial note
UKG (formerly Ultimate Software) cut about 950 jobs — roughly 6% of its workforce, many at its South Florida offices — with staff notified in mid-April 2026. The company is classified Explicit because its own message to employees cited "changes in technology driven by AI" among the reasons, alongside shifting customer expectations and competition, as CEO Jennifer Morgan pushes an "AI-first" restructuring.
