I know they sent out the communication about changes and all, but it feels too quiet. Like nothing has been really said about what’s going on.

Dirty deeds that have been done dirt cheap will be announced at the site mtg. This is not a warning that something is coming - it’s that something has been done. Look around - who’s not there.
@cv what area in S&T?
@cv At R&D they are having site meetings I am hearing then the process will begin as Europe and other regions have to go through a consultation period. So they are not let go straight away and have upto 3 months to be paid due to employment laws. Just as I am typing UK R&D have a meeting in the calendar for the site tomorrow.
Heard of one senior leader in S&T with last day this Friday even though no announcement was made by AK to this team on cuts. There have been people being let go in S&T at director level at least since Q2. No transparency but lots of leaders leaving and taking up big jobs elsewhere. R&D taking hits this week too, Antonio retiring.
@an If your Manager was not aware of your pending layoff, he too is likely to get his layoff notice as well this week. That’s the way they proceed through the ranks.
@b3 well Ramon at the Purchase gym with his trainer seems very symbolic & shows how out of touch he is… “staying in the dining room feasting as the Titanic sank” level of out of touch.
Ramon was legit working out in the purchase gym today we all saw him with his trainer
So, how are Ramon and his LT still in their roles? Just get rid of everyone on lower tiers but not hold the people at the top accountable at all? How are we still in this position after years of stagnation?
Same as last year, your direct manager and local HR is not in the loop. Today, when I called my manager to let him know he was so upset because he was not in the loop.
@ad
Field Sales, can you more specific? What accounts and what roles?
@ad that is news to me. I’ve only heard from beverage contacts. Maybe it’s happening by region on different days?
Foods Field Sales was notified today. Many directors being offered demotions or severances.
This week is just anxiety ridden
Right. 1000 job cuts and minimal chatter. Day 1 is in the books. 4 days left to survive
That was by plan. New org really comes out next week. This is the emotional week of cutting employees.
