They are the vendors that masterminded cargill2030 last summer. It’s a copy/paste of what they do for other clients and that says it all. As long as they make a fortune, who cares how many layoffs. Shame the LT can’t strategize for themselves or... — read more 

I know the job market has been bad for a while, but at least I used to get some replies and I even managed to land a couple of interviews. But in the last two or three months, crickets. No responses. It's like the situation turned from bad to worse... — read more 

"...an exceptional executive admin assistant to support ME..." On LinkedIn... You couldn't make this sh-t up if you tried!

The announcement is coming. My friend is tax attorney at a Cargill philanthropy. He is busier than ever preparing the financial games to reduce the tax burden when his philanthropy's funds are suddenly liquid assets.

Target announced that they are pulling back from their aggressive DEI goals, meanwhile Cargill has said they are standing firm. Where is our CHRO from... — read more 

I see you Cargill and the movers and shakers inside it. Some smooth operators and some back stabbers. You don’t know the meaning of caring for people while preaching people first. Do some real work or you will fail just like you are steadily but... — read more 

Have trainees (TMTs, CMTs, QMTs…) also get impacted?

The UK has started to receive the layoff notifications. How many so far and from which divisions?

I see zero productivity everywhere and wonder how the company is making money. Can not stand pretending like I care. Funny to think they made money with the cuts. I think it’s costing more

Does anybody else think the chances are high that they're going to secure the money for this by cutting even more people? I know I sound paranoid, but after everything this place has put us through in the past several months, nothing seems too... — read more 

I have two interviews scheduled for next week, and if either of them goes well, I’m out of here. Cargill has completely burned through all the goodwill I had left over the past year. I don’t know many people who aren’t thinking about leaving at this... — read more 

Is progress completed in UK? I heard some people from FSQR post on linked in. Perhaps anyone from there can provide some insights?

After observing the brutality of the December announcement, I see most of my colleagues trying to fit the narrative to survive but privately we know the leaders are not skilled or forward looking. Things will not change for the better, how can they?... — read more 

Just saw a post on linkedin from the strategy director about how she is ‘empowering women in leadership’ roles. What a load of cr-p - she and other senior leaders did none of that during the recent restructuring. It was all self interest - there was... — read more 

From the news: Cargill started laying off thousands of employees last month, the company’s owners made $2 billion from stock buybacks and one-time dividends, according to Fitch Ratings.

It won’t work It will costs more (the layoff ripple effect that is) as no solid logic behind it They don’t won’t to admit as they paid millions to consultants ‘Shifting things around’ isn’t smart when you haven’t found a smarter way of doing it It... — read more 

The last big round of layoffs, as well as the silent ones apparently happening since, have taught me a lesson. This isn’t the company I started working for years ago, which used to at least somewhat value its employees. It caught the worst corporate... — read more 

Is there going to be more this week or not?

It’s all about the money. People first, talent management and hire to retire are all gone. In my 25 years, the leadership has shifted to the worst. Now, we have 2 types of leadership/ managers- one that surrounds themselves with weak direct reports... — read more 

Hard to believe this person is now a global leader of HR at Cargill.

Seriously consider moving on. In the meantime, glutinously utilize every perk possible! Order the most expensive steak and wine on the menu at Mastro’s. And take an extra filet home for your dog. Sneak an upgrade to business class. And expense... — read more 

After the December waive, management had said the layoffs were over. Nope. Got back after the winter holidays, started going through my emails and right up top was a 30 minute email title "Business Update" from HR. Had to sit there and listen to an... — read more

Years ago, my first day working at Cargill, my manager, I'll call her Ellie for the time being, requested an almost impossible task at 3pm, to be done, completed and on her desk by 7am. I stayed up all night working on this request, brought the... — read more 

According to intranet Cargill just about met the quarterly target, Rather incredible as no one doing anything impactful, in Global Impact anyway This is just fluffy PR spin. The layoff savings won’t save the world that’s certain. Or maybe it is to... — read more

I don’t mean forever, but at least for a good while? I’m sorry if this sounds like a d-mb question, but I’m relatively new and not sure how things work here.

A terrible place to be, Cargill that is. Not sure what’s worse not having a job or having a job and distrusting all round not believing anything you hear, in fact finding most stuff utterly ridiculous in this place. I’d say to the competitors you are... — read more 

Corporate greed at its best, finally exposed.

Another town hall invite landed today. Bracing myself for more lies and hyperboles how excited we all are to do more work with less and feed leaders with pointless papers. The results speak for themselves company sinking fast

Sure hope this company will stop destroying the rain forest for greed. And if this company is to survive, lay off 50% of Sikes team.

In my opinion, Sikes is mean man, taking down which was a once great company. Sorry for all of you that lost your jobs, its all about greed..

I’ve never worked for an organisation where I feel nothing, except Cargill. I wasn’t around in the good days but what I see is leaders that don’t care. The strategy is copy and paste of best practices but easy to see why not successful. No... — read more

Does anyone know how many people that got “laid off” were asked to come back to work? I’ve heard of a few people this happened to. Doesn’t that just go to show how disorganized and poorly planned this entire thing is…

things get only worse. I'm afraid this has been nothing so far, compared to what awaits us. McKinsey will make sure Cargill is raided from the inside. Maximum profits, minimum number of employees. Culture, morale, human capital, tradition and the... — read more
