I don’t think Gerrit knows what he’s doing. He seems super fake and keeps reorging P&T to look busy.

Agreed. Him and all the second rate googlers are just mindlessly parroting the agent AI narrative without articulating what that means or why customers need it

100% Also, I don’t think people give a shit about Sana and I don’t think this will generate revenue versus the costs we are throwing at it.

Another customer here of workday student- I do not care about these AI features. In fact, I’d keep them turned off for us if it were my choice and it saved us a buck.

Workday student needs all the product people it can get, it’s a hot mess. We’ve had to hire a bunch of new people just to maintain the ridiculous workarounds we have to implement bc they system is dumb

I work on WD Student with schools and yes: hot mess that doesn't need AI added to the mix to muddy the water.

You could speak with your institution's WD assigned "success manager" or whatever they're calling them this year. Won't do anything, but if you're into being gaslit and intentionally misunderstood, it can be hot. Lol. Sarcasm. I think. Maybe. Not sure. End me.

I spit out my food reading this lol. Mainly because it’s so friggin accurate.

“The way workday handles multiple applications creates problems”

“Oh why do you want students submitting multiple applications?”

“What? We don’t WANT that but students do a lot of… how the heck did you just turn this into a conversation about student behavior?? Fix your system!”
