As layoffs will be happening in 2020 now, will the affected people get the bonus for 2019? They should as they have worked the whole year

This means that they are going to have another cut in labor aka called an extension of the cuts to more engineers and managers and possibly dept. with hourly. Ask yourself that the biggest trucking firm that is located in Southern Indiana went... — read more 

Anybody? I honestly wish they told us already who was getting laid off - that would be preferable to constantly having to wait and stress and worry over what might (and might not) come. If there are going to be layoffs - just get it over with... — read more

I've been working at Cummins for less than a year and now the news of this layoff comes and I have started worrying about my job. Does anyone know if in past layoffs cycles the new hires were more or less at risk?

It is always the market conditions, head winds, tail winds, side winds, cliff events. Oh we did not anticipate the business going down this rapidly! We need to cut costs by 300 million! Well you spent more than that in campaigns fixing quality... — read more 

I can tell from past experience that rating and ranking from the previous year is typically used unless they have the latest data from this year ready before the layoffs. They will generally cut people rated 3s or low 2s. If your manager thinks... — read more 

I used to work at Cummins in a high level plant job. They forget plants make the money and build empires in corporate. Cummins is notorious for hiring like crazy and then later having massive layoffs. Poor, poor management.

These people get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to manage head count and prevent this situation. Why is it always normal to accept that these executives get to choose who stays and who goes? Who will hold them accountable? What is the point of... — read more

Thoughts? Any Cummins Layoffs in 2019?

Cummins' normal layoff cycle is 3 years, so with the last mass layoff of salaried employees being the 4th Quarter of 2015, you should be good until the 4th Quarter of 2018. They never "need" to layoff employees, however if at the end of the year... — read more
