I know I’m safe from here on out, but it doesn’t make me feel any better. We lost several good people, and their absence will be deeply felt. Now, the rest of us will probably be expected to pick up their work, which is absolute bullsh-t, if you ask... — read more 

Welcome to an epidemic of quiet quitting. Good luck getting the employees left to do anything outside their job descriptions and working hours. The morale, engagement, respect and trust are gone! This entire process has been so poorly managed. They... — read more 

I truly believe this executive team is evil. When DMac was there, you felt connected to him and like everything would be fine even when times were tough. Sikes is a different animal. He wants to show his power at all costs while repeating the fake... — read more 

This is not the way to treat employees. This is not the way to lay off people. This is definitely not the way to run the company. Sc--w them and their greed. They brought so much anxiety and stress upon all of us, and now they’ve been threatening so... — read more 

Hi, I'm a journalist working for the Financial Times, looking to speak to people about Cargill layoffs, especially those who have been laid off but also anyone with insights. Very happy for it be anonymous. If interested drop me an email -... — read more 

We just had a all TGRC team call with Brian Cincera leading. He read an obviously prepared statement that all of us still have jobs (for now). HR was present. Said next week we'll find out more about what our roles are. Meeting was very cold. ... — read more 

No. No news for us yet. Apparently it needs to go through the European works council and then what?! What does that even mean and when will we know if we're fired or not?

How nice

This is not how you treat people and everyone should know. Go on strike, in the headoffices, in the plants. Who says next year they won’t do this to you who can stay today? Or in 2 months to the person who is not located in the ‘first round’... — read more 

All I can do is sit here, hitting refresh over and over, even though I know nothing substantial will be posted before tomorrow. I’m a nervous wreck, and I know I’ll stay this way until the week is over - and that's assuming this week truly brings an... — read more 

I got a meeting invite for thursday called "Role Committment Meeting" And it said in the email it was to discuss my future role with cargill.... Chat am I cooked or is this a "here's a new role take it or GTFO" situation?

This embarrassment of a company has pulled off the impossible and fired numerous high performers across the board. I cannot believe how random this process looks from an observer. Please do your best to not let this change how you view yourself and... — read more 

My team was impacted by layoffs today. Can I assume I’m safe from this point on? I doubt they would split layoffs within a single team across multiple days, but it would be reassuring to have confirmation. Our manager hasn’t provided any updates on... — read more 

From what I’m reading here and hearing from folks, some departments are done, but company-wide layoffs will continue until the end of the week. Please confirm if you know for a fact this is true. Also share, if you can, the info about departments for... — read more 

By my count we’re more at 20% laid off, not 5%. All this because the family got hella rich off of Covid, and all the price fixing schemes that came from it, that were now getting sued for. Can’t make it up.

I was just in a meeting where are manager said all layoffs for our own dept are completed and everyone present is staying. But that we may here about more layoffs in other parts of the company throughout the week.

Has anyone got a clue on how the new organization may look like? Any idea of the functionsn impacted so far? Maintenance, procurament, engineering,...? Here in europe is going to take a bit longer and we don't get any news and that is somehow even... — read more 

They overhired in pursuit of profits. Now they are throwing us out and around so extra profit would not suffer. Just in case, they are throwing away the most experienced, skilled and competent, because they are expensive. Profit is the god almighty... — read more 

I encourage everyone to look for alternate opportunity, even after you are safe tomorrow, and plan to resign within 3 months.

Earlier this year we saw 200 Project Managers, BRM's, Group Leads, and others, lose their jobs in the DT&D space. Today we're seeing more in Service Delivery, Networking/Infra, and TGRC. "...we must empower you with the modern systems and tools... — read more 

I have heard crickets so far in my org. Are there more coming tomorrow?

Very sad to read these many posts from around the world. I guess I am glad to be dumping a lot of my retirement ESOP stock position in the current quarterly window. Very sad. Best of luck to all impacted - both departing and left behind to pick up... — read more 

If you've been reading these threads, you’ve probably noticed the obvious—the layoffs are crushing morale. But what about the less visible damage? What about the ripple effects? Cargill isn’t just shedding employees; it’s shedding expertise. The... — read more

Does anyone know what these are about? They seem markedly different than how the layoff meetings are being conducted. Some of my observations (my group has one scheduled): with a leader and not HR, 250+ people, suspected people already laid off are... — read more 

Just thinking about all the money we spent on a new HQ in Wichita and all the renovations in the plants completed in the name of employee engagement just to lay off those employees. 21st century business at its finest

Based on what we have till now heard, do we got any pattern of who are getting layoff. Any specific business segment or type of jobs which got overrepresented?

It looks like the group messaging approach used earlier this year with IT (big group calls where everyone invited is let go) will be used once again. Meeting invites have started rolling out. So much for putting people first and treating them with... — read more 

Subject: Business Update That’s what you’ll be looking for, sadly. Got it in my inbox this morning.

So Mckinsey’s big strategy for Cargill is to layoff people…shocker! Do they even have other recommendations? As for Cargill, this leadership has lost all credibility in front of employees.

Alright, I have been reading all of these and I feel the need to comment. Everything I have read has done nothing except bring anxiety and anger to me. So I want to outline what we are seeing and hopefully help ease some anxious minds. Could they... — read more 

I don't think they realize how much of a disruption this is going to cause in the long run.

If this truly does stretch into Wednesday, productivity will hit zero. Do you know of a single person who is currently focused on their job and not just waiting to see if they will be affected?

How aren’t they doing this immediately? Are they really going to have people panic all week long?

Is it time to sell Cargill stock?

If you are unlucky to get laid off when you look at severance keep 2 things in mind. 1. Your health insurance money like tobacco free and annual check is paid out quarterly. Next is Feb. Request u compensated for that. 2. The annual ERA is deposited... — read more
