UKG Workforce Central — This App is a nightmare I’m forced to use this because someone SOMEHOW convinced my employer to utilize it. Some people can save their password, some can’t.

Questions about this idea
- Is Frustrating work app experience a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 61 different people described it independently, in 68 mentions, the earliest from 27 Sept 2018 and the most recent from 13 Sept 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: steady — no change the counts can show. 0 people raised it in the last 30 days and 1 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.
