4%? we should be so lucky! I shall lower my expectations to 2.5 - 3
Thanks Tom
Do send us a postcard of your latest travels
It’s not going to be anywhere near 9%. Expect an average pot of 4%
Interesting that average pay in the UK has increased by 7.2% in the last three month's.
Roll on the JAF rollout and let's see what the KLT really think of looking after it's ASSociates. Anything less than a 9% rise would be a pay cut again.
It seems like they're trying to make them appear more authentic by listing something in the cons section that vaguely resembles a negative, but they're doing a hilariously pathetic, half ars-d job of it none the less. Some of the genuine recent reviews have been so damning HR might have just lost the will to even try properly.
Talj to me. Anyone else find it very strange that several 5* Glassdòor reviews have appeared on the site over the last few days. How much are KLT paying per review ? Can they bung me a few quid ? I don't mind writing a load of tosh and ticking the 5* box for a few quid. Much love.
Joy vacuum and her merry band of nitwits need to stop with pointless award events, smell the roses and quit. We used to have some really great, honest HR people who put us and our customers first. Now we are stuck with these pretentious buffoons; who seem to get promotions, pay increases and nominated (not sure who by) for awards despite doing nothing good. Where has the Human element of HR gone? Flushed down the loo with the rest of the sh*t that Charlotte spews. Such a shame as the remaining 'good' ones seem to have changed for the worse too. Also, there's constant fear of job losses but what effective organisation of keyloops size need a whole internal communications team? HR and comms were better in 2019 - 2020. We should bring those people back again. Where is Cath? Get her back in!
And just like clockwork another party dress event, splashed on social media, same old hangers on. More 1st loser awards but we love a free p1$$ up on expenses. Can’t they see the damage they cause to the employees. Yes of course they can but HR and comms aren’t there to care….. are they 😡 #MeMeMeMeMe
Got to agree with post hRvse+154y9TPM
I have lost of lot of respect for those who I considered friends as well as colleagues as they climb their career ladder for ever long it lasts.
No longer getting a call to see how you are, your progress etc etc.
Instead, keep picking up cases, get your commerce correct, this will address the poor customer feedback.
We were told this is a tried and tested Buisiness Model.
What they failed to say is this Buisiness Model failed time and time again.
Let's get our party dresses on, go to unimportant ceremonies, feed the industry the same unconvincing bull and award ourselves Tufty Club Badges.
Roll on cash in for them, escape for us.
If we told the truth to customers and employees then we wouldn’t need to go on storytelling courses/presentations. Spin, propaganda and jargon are more important than substance and reality here.
Somebody posted a while back about some wrong doings which would bankrupt Keyloop if or when the news got out?
Are we any closer to this happening or am I just getting my hopes up?
The brain drain is just non stop so many high quality hugely experienced consultants are just calling it day every week. You can’t buy that massive knowledge of the DMS or technology. It says everything about the culture and terrible management of this failing company. That said it’s all ok because because on social media the same KLT members are still celebrating meaningless targets and talking sh1t£ about how great it is all is. As long as they keep building their network based on spin they think they are winning. #bloodontheirhands.
Still writing their own Glassdoor reviews, the latest review is good for a laugh.
Job Architecture Framework
It's used to not award bonuses or merit increases/ inflationary rises to the minions.
Basically HR claptrap.
J(y)et Another Failure
What does JAF stand for?
Cheers.
Notice to Keyloop.
Put a bit more effort into the fake glass door reviews, at least mix the script up a little!
We're there many Keyloop representatives at the AM awards or did they know better?
Keyloop won nothing in the AM Awards last night which sums up its huge decline in the automotive space. It’s probably a good thing as I think they would have be heckled and booed off the stage as the distaste is so strong in the room. Now if there was an award for worst service and customer experience they would of smashed that easily. Much talk over the dinner was about alternative DMS’s and how to finally ditch the parasites.
PS is 3 times smaller than Engineering. According to all industri standards and financial rules they should be at least twice as big. Also Sales are to big if you look at the size of the other departments. All of this results in a really bad earning per FTE. Keyloop is for sure doing things differently than others.
Article focuses on a healthcare company, but principal remains the same.

/tldr It doesn't really matter too much to private equity firms when companies taken over fail.
There is quite a skill to going into a company and reducing costs without impacting the customer experience - unfortunately FP were advised by the wrong cdk people as to who can go and who should stay, add this to no proper due diligence as to the decision to release in the hack and slash manner they elected to utilise, combined with the aforementioned “we’ve done this before” cavilier attitude it has been quite the lethal combination as is being proved for the business.
Sorry to be pedantic to an earlier poster, it’s only been 2 years since they took over, though I can understand that due to the awful working environment you described, it feels like twice as long. Wishing you and all the other remainders the very best.
I could go into any company in the entire world and cut costs, there is not much skill in that. However there is skill required to grow revenues and improve the experience of employees and customers. The KLT have proven in the last 2 years that they have no skill in this area whatsoever, and so it is time for them all to move on.
When FPiggies took over the company, we were all going to be one Keyloop where everyone is equal. Unfortunately some are much more equal than others with massive bonuses and party trips, whilst most other people have paltry pay rises and bonuses. The size of the Exit bonus pot for the few is absolutely staggering, you would not believe it.
Does the CPO really believe some of the comments she has been putting on Linked-in?“We have introduced pay for performance”. How can that be so when virtually everyone gets the same rating regardless of performance and that leads to a pay rise well below inflation. She keep’s going on about JAF but what is the benefit to of this? It has taken more than 2 years to get JAF1.0 and now they’re talking about JAF 2.0. They seem to accept that some people are getting paid below market but state it could take another 2 years to bring them into line with market. Seriously, so 4 years after taking over they will finally pay someone their market worth. No wonder NPS score is 19 which is pretty much at the bottom of the industry based on a Google search I did. They are very cagey now whenever anyone mentions Peakon as they don’t want to talk about or act upon the shamefully low scores.
“Why to I work for Keyloop?” I ask myself this question every morning
Loving this page. As a non employee I can see some real sh1t going down with this business. How the heck do you work for such tripe?
You ok hon?
Based on the Award Winners announced in todays townhall, it seems that the most >>important and endorsed skill to have in Keyloop is to be good at ar-e licking while you >>take credit of other People’s good work.

Yes they must be a t*at I guess. Because you said so.
To quote a recent poster "Posts must be deleted which educate others to know the truth........................"
In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

All that you missed was some t*at commenting on internal keyloop person who is ill, not in a sensitive manner. At a guess its the same person who cannot use normal English to describle a scenario and resorts to cursing and slander.
LOL what have I missed?
More reviews deleted
WOW this new glassdoor review is shocking. Seems to say everything. Will be interesting if CPO will comment on this one. Broken.

Earlier post suggests that this month's figures are looking terrible, they need someone that could give those figures a bit of a massage and then everything on the surface would appear to be tickety-boo. Does anyone in Keyloop know who maybe able to do this, someone with previous experience would be good?
They do seem to be deploying the old methodology back (country specific). I dont think it will ever be as effective and efficient as it was with so many knowledgeable colleague let go in that first round of redundancy!
Intresting insight on the below comments, this is the first I've heard of it. I would not be surprised if they sell keyloop in the not too distant future.
Wow, it’s staggering that they have the audacity to lecture other people on the employee experience, when the employee experience at their company is abysmal. Meanwhile others in the HR team are having a party trip to India and some of the other KLT are sunning themselves in Miami.
Anyone else who noticed that some leaders and “key persons” are more busy promoting them self on LinkedIn, SocialMedias and at events instead of doing what they are payed to do? No names mentioned.
Yesterday I overheard two people from Finance talking about how unfair they think it is, that budgets are on purpose set to High so they can’t be achieved. This to push people as much as possible. Fortunate for the KLT, they are not on the same bonus structure as the rest of the company. They are not measured on leavers etc. only on new deals signed and that we don’t make a minus. The KLT, they are not stupid.
Heard a rumour today that Sytner are jumping ship? Can anybody put any substance to back this claim up?
