Feel free to discuss, share links, or talk about anything Workday Rising Related

An idea that I been thinking still under construction but would like others to provide there ideas and thoughts? Is having Subs like:

• r/workday_Espanol
• r/workday_French

or have it based on Region maybe

• r/workday_Europe
• r/workday_NorthAmerica

The sub has been growing a lot and thanks to everyone here being supportive. I'm curious as I believe most of our users are based in North America would have smaller regions be useful or should I add flairs would like your thoughts. I speak Spanish from the mod team here and would like to see what others think especially those from non-North America area.

I recently added a new rule as we been seeing new posts that were not handle by existing rules and we been seeing an increase of these Employee / HR posts.

New rule:

Configuration Questions or Workday General Discussion Only: No Employee/HR Issues

This subreddit is for Workday configuration, integration, reporting, and technical questions. Please don't post employee-specific questions like pay, benefits, time off, or login problems. Contact your company's HR or Workday support team for those.

If you've found a bug or product issue that your team can't resolve, you're welcome to post it. Mods may review these posts, and anything that turns out to be an employee or HR matter may be removed or just removed.

Hi everyone,

We're overhauling our AutoModerator config, which hasn't been touched in about two years. Below is what's changing and why. If you spot a rule that would catch your legitimate posts, please tell us in the comments.

What was wrong with the old setup

• Keywords like "application" and "sign in" were too broad. Posts about Workday applications, SSO, or sign-on configuration were being removed.
• The removal messages were being sent to the mod team instead of the person who posted, so posters never saw the help text.
• The "approve contributors" rules were redundant and could override other filters.

What's changing

1. Login help: Now triggers only on end-user phrases like "can't log in", "locked out", and "forgot password". The author gets a DM pointing them to their HR/IT help desk.
2. Job and career posts: These go to the mod queue instead of being deleted, and the poster gets a comment pointing to career resources.
3. Spam and recruiter links: Posts from new, low-karma accounts containing shortlinks, Telegram/WhatsApp, or "training institute" phrases are removed.
4. Self-promo: "Hire me" and "looking for work" posts from low-history accounts go to the queue.
5. Brand-new accounts: Accounts under 3 days old with very low karma are held for review.
6. Vague titles: Titles like "help" or "urgent" are reported to mods so we can ask for details.
7. Flair reminder: Posts without flair get a comment asking for the Workday area and release.
8. Low-effort comments: Comments that are only "this", "bump", or "+1" go to the queue.
9. PII check: Posts or comments containing SSN or email patterns are held for review.

Where we'd like your input

• Are there legitimate topics that any of these keywords would wrongly catch?
• Is 30 days / 10 karma a fair line for spam filtering?
• Should career questions get a weekly megathread?
• What flair categories should we list in the flair reminder?
• What recurring junk are you seeing that we haven't covered?

Most rules use "filter" rather than "remove", so anything caught lands in the mod queue and can be approved. Nothing gets silently lost while we tune this.

Thanks for helping keep the sub useful.

I want to keep this constructive because I know this sub has a mix of practitioners, consultants, and people actively job searching — but I've been noticing a pattern that I think is worth calling out.

What I'm seeing:

• Recruiters (especially AI-sourced outreach from firms like [X type of firm]) are leading with language like "the market is competitive" and "we have a great opportunity" — but when you actually dig into the rate or comp, it's well below what the scope of work demands.
• The JDs themselves often list 5–7 years of Studio, EIB, Core Connectors, Extend, and Orchestrate experience — sometimes also BIRT, Prism, or security design — for rates/salaries that haven't moved in years.
• The mismatch between the complexity and breadth of Workday integration work and what some firms are willing to pay is significant.

What I think is driving it:

• AI sourcing tools are letting firms spam candidates at scale, which creates the illusion of a competitive market with lots of demand — but it's the same few roles recycled through multiple agencies.
• Some firms are using market uncertainty to anchor low, betting that enough candidates are desperate enough to accept.

I'm not saying all recruiters are bad — I've worked with genuinely good ones. But the pattern of "we need a unicorn, here's a budget for a junior" is worth naming.

Curious if others are tracking this, what rates you're seeing quoted vs. what's realistic, and how you're pushing back.

Welcome!

AI is showing up everywhere in Workday — and the hype is loud. This megathread is the community's space to cut through it. We're talking real experiences from real users: admins, developers, analysts, consultants, and end users who actually work in the platform day to day.

No vendor talk. No fluff. Just honest takes from people who've been in the trenches.

What to Share

• What AI feature or tool have you used? (Workday-native features, AI agents, third-party tools plugged into Workday, etc.)
• What's your role? (Admin, integration dev, HRIS analyst, consultant, end user, etc.)
• What were you trying to accomplish?
• How did it actually go? Hype vs. reality.
• Any surprises, limitations, or things that caught you off guard?
• Would you use it again or recommend it?

Ground Rules

1. Real experiences only. Speculation is welcome if you label it — but firsthand accounts are gold here.
2. No vendor promotion. If you work for or represent a company selling AI tools, disclose that upfront or skip the thread.
3. Anonymize your details. Don't share employer names, tenant-specific info, or anything confidential.
4. Be specific. "It's amazing" or "it's useless" doesn't help anyone. Tell us what, why, and in what context.
5. Respect all experiences. A bad experience is just as valid as a good one. No pile-ons.
6. Keep it here. Standalone AI posts may be redirected to this megathread to keep the conversation consolidated.

Optional Comment Format

**Feature/Tool:** [e.g., Workday Assist, AI-generated insights, third-party agent]
**Role:** [e.g., HRIS Admin, Integration Dev, End User]
**Use Case:** [What you were trying to do]
**Experience:** [What actually happened]
**Verdict:** [👍 Positive / 🤷 Mixed / 👎 Negative]
**Recommend?** [Yes / No / Depends on your situation]

A Note from the Mods

This thread will be refreshed as things evolve — AI in Workday is moving fast and we want this to stay current. Standout comments may get highlighted in a future community roundup. Suggestions? DM the mod team.

This thread is the place for anything related to independent Workday consulting work — whether you're looking for your next contract or looking to hire.

If you're an independent consultant available for work, drop a comment with:

• Your specialty (Integrations, HCM, Payroll, Reporting, Studio, etc.)
• Years of experience
• Availability (start date, hours/week)
• Remote/hybrid/onsite preference and location if relevant
• Rate range (optional but speeds things up)

If you're hiring or know of an opportunity, drop a comment with:

• Brief project/role description
• Required skills
• Contract length and remote/onsite expectations
• How to get in touch

A few notes:

• Standalone "looking for work" or "hiring" posts outside this thread will be removed and redirected here — this keeps the main feed focused on technical discussion while still giving consultants and hiring managers a dedicated space to connect.
• This thread refreshes weekly, so repost here if your situation is still active.
• As always, vet anyone you do business with — the mod team doesn't verify claims made in this thread.
