Not entirely true. A number of them are definitely spam, but there are many organizations that do text outreach and there is definitely a person at the other end. They will remove you from their lists if you reply with stop.

That one guy is pitching in $5 so now Google owes $10,779,224,060,605,346,999,999,999,999,999,995

These organizations trade phone lists, kind of like what telemarketers do. Sometimes the lists can be outdated. Unfortunately replying “stop” to each one is the only way that’s going to slow it down.

Doesnt surprise me. Last company I worked for switched from UKG to Workday and it broke everything. A good chunk of employees got late paychecks, overtime hours didnt calculate right so some people got shorted, and on top of that two rounds of corrected W2s had to be sent out.
