Here is my two cents – ever since we merged with Hillshire, Tyson Foods has become a nightmare to work for. We’ve had multiple random layoffs, they are constant. What’s also constant? Fear and anxiety associated with layoffs at Tyson Foods.
Our lovely HR staff is so worried about keeping their precious jobs that they don't take care of the concerns of employees – is not this the whole point for HR existence – helping other employees. Our employees work, off the clock, in the hopes they can continue to have a place to work, to provide for their families...
Tyson foods was once an amazing place to work but until they realize just how wrong their organizational changes are, Tyson Foods together with all subsidiaries will continue to struggle and will ultimately fail.
At some point, the executives should drop the idea that the Hillshire ways should trump what made Tyson Foods as great as it is today – let this sink in... They need to start to listen to the employees and act based on the feedback they receive – they are not doing this right now, they used to do it before, so they know how to do this….
Tyson Foods is an AMAZING company but newly enacted policies and throwing out dedicated Tyson Food employees just to bring in and appease Hillshire staff is a mistake. Our travel expenses alone are going to continue eating away all the profits we make.
Please listen to us and do not drop things that worked brilliantly, instead learn from it, expand it and improve it….
