Workday

On May 16, 2025, a court granted conditional certification for Mobley v. Workday to proceed as a nationwide collective action under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. Derek Mobley claimed Workday's algorithms caused him to be rejected from more than 100 jobs over seven years because of his age, race, and disabilities. Workday disclosed that '1.1 billion applications were rejected' using its software tools, and the collective could potentially include 'hundreds of millions' of members. Workday denies the claims.

Workday announced it would cut 8.5% of its workforce in favor of investing in artificial intelligence to counter a 'softer macroeconomic environment.'
