Apparently it’s an open secret within the whole HR organization that the 5% represents only the first wave. Even though it was communicated differently by HRLT it’s part of the strategy from the start to lay more people off than currently being... — read more

I am one of these people that was unfairly dismissed with zero consultancy and my duties still exist. To the HR people and the managers that were happy to be the face of this and to the people that are picking up my duties for no extra pay or... — read more 

What an unpleasant few months waiting for the so called consultation to end. Everything su-ks about Cargill, I agree with all these posts. I’d hate to still be there pretending I care. There’s nothing functional about this company. Needless stuff... — read more 

Ready your popcorn

With thousands of legitimate unfair dismissal cases worldwide surely there is something that can be done to cause some serious reputational damage and make this company accountable.

As previously posted by others no real business case, no proper consultation and sadly many colleagues were served notice today. The European Councils grew frustrated that the business would not listen or respond to any attempts to solution matters... — read more 

Yesterday the EWC opinion was published. Here are some interesting excerpts. Mostly for US colleagues' benefit, to demonstrate that these layoffs have been sloppy and arrogant across the board, even with supposedly authoritative bodies, Cargill has... — read more 

Am I the only one thinking if there could be more layoffs? And this AI thing?

Wow, couldn’t wait until this morning to see the new price for our ESOP. With all these cuts I would think it would positively impact our ESOP…yeah right this is BS. This ship is going down I’m cashing out and putting my money into index 500... — read more

I really didn’t think I could be more perplexed, but I still have my laptop and bank card as I haven’t heard one word about what to do with these after initially hearing we would receive a box to return the computers themselves. Is this the same for... — read more 

Same buzzwords...thank yous, acknowledge, gratitude, blah blah blah. I can't stand these HRLT people especially Stephanie whatshername. So fake and condescending. They have a menti for questions and all the moderated questions and answers are... — read more 

So certain senior leaders are taking new big jobs within Cargill. Jobs they’re not even experienced in or qualified to do, while those laid off are told no new jobs created. You can’t make this up but this is the failing Cargill. This is not a... — read more 

I wonder if I’m the only one who feels upset about this. I understand that job titles might not seem like a big deal, but with all the recent changes, seeing my position rebranded to something that sounds far less significant, a title that was... — read more 

Are UK employees linked to European consultation? I heard Cargill has treated people really badly, many being told they are out rather than consulted as intended. No justification, no attempt to resolve or support. Surely the European councils have... — read more 

My manager is making everything harder than it needs to be for no good reason. My work environment has become so toxic that I'm honestly just hoping for a layoff at this point. The tension is unreal, and it's just getting worse. It's like no matter... — read more 

We just got an email from Netherlands work council. Consultation process extended for Netherlands. Cargill imposed secrecy clause for not sharing any information.

So, we now get to see how the so called layoff savings are being used by those who are behind Cargill 2030. They seem to have all claimed better bigger and some of them different or new jobs. How about freezing their big fat salaries while laying... — read more 

How many people impacted ? Anybody knows ?

Why can't they do all the layoffs at once? Why do we have to spend months stressed out, wondering if they’ve hit that five percent yet or not? It's inhumane to do this to us.

Layoffs are hitting hard, communication between teams has completely fallen apart, and collaboration is practically nonexistent. There’s no vision, no strategy. All there is is a desperate scramble to save money. It feels like we’re stuck in a loop... — read more 

Once they're done with Europe?

Has anyone seen the article published by Star Tribune regarding the Cargill/Macmillan families rewarding themselves with $2B in buybacks and dividends. Pretty digesting to say the least. Not sure how anyone working for Cargill could feel good about... — read more 

supply chain seems to have little inpactcin EU. Rumors it will move to Bulgaria in next wave. Same for customer service.

Do anyone know latest updates from EU?

Lots of Powerpointing and paper pushing no doubt but who’s making money. LT doing lots of show and tell while their reporting teams acting like they belong and try to appear they work hard. Hope the market forces make it nosedive faster than it is... — read more

Apparently they're finally announcing layoffs in EU. How many people are they letting go in each country and from which departments ?

I’ve never come across such unethical organization. Ashamed to have worked for them, although I know they’re not effective enough to benefit from it. The toxicity at the top is unbelievable. Do the masses believe and trust their leaders? That they... — read more

I was talking with some colleagues and we think Cargill might have just made up the whole thing about laying people off in Europe as well. Is it just a myth? European colleagues seem pretty unharmed so far.

Remote work will officially end June 1st. It’s effectively the next round of layoffs. Thanks to all you lazy ppl that ruined it for the good employees.

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

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
