Thread regarding Cummins Inc. layoffs

Then why is the green team constantly losing money? Please do CMI a favor and hit the road.

@5fa me, I'm the one saying it helps. If we all had viable wide ranging energy options, do you think the prices of everything would go up like they did when one place closes globably? Energy independence isn't singular to diesel instead diesel is a part of a total energy package we all need. Coal, wind, gas, solar, hydro, diesel, and alternative fuels all have a place and make life easier and less expensive for people. I'm happy we were willing to take shots in new markets and R&D vs. giving it all to shareholders. A company that isn't diversified and adapting will die with it's head in the sand. You are absolutely insane to think that green is the only thing making a smaller and smaller group of people richer. Just look at exec comp at CMI, think they care about us when the made it harder to reach our VC while they are still walking away with outrageous salary and stock options?

Who's is the d-mb *ss saying green helps the common man, green only su-k the $ out of your wallet and places it into someone richer.

@2g6 A good portion of Cummins having "inexperienced" employees working on the project is their mass layoffs every 3-4 years (and sometimes closer) with no ability to ever be rehired by the company per your exit contract when you accept the severance pay. They got me in Dec 15 and now I make over double what I was making there. Let Cummins burn.

Go DEI Go broke, DEI is really DIE

It's not really a business if it doesn't produce a profit. So much $ is being thrown down the toilet just to call the big "C" a green company. Jen R. needs to "spend more time with her family" as the first ring of defense.

Accelera Electrolyser Business by Cummins closing down while others book projects

Whilst the investor/market narrative from the 25Q3 results is "no market/market uncertainty", the core issues underlying this closure are:-

1. A BU not fit for purpose to deliver EPC projects in a project financed EPC market - a well established serial manufacturing heavy model directly translated to deliver high risk EPC projects, snr management unfamiliar with a Contractor/Project focused business, retail volume sales mindset
2. OEM PEM technology not ready - low TRL (despite extensive investment)
   3.R&D being performed within high risk EPC contracts (rule 1 - PM-101)

Engineering, and the entire organization by extension, for sure was a disaster. The product was overly expensive, the kind of solutions you get when engineers are left to implement anything at any cost. Mostly driven by lack of experience, knowledge or fear.
Stack R&D never figured it out, hence the LT member was sent packing in October.
Project managers were assigned projects and contracts only to then be confronted with 100's of changes to the 'standard design' and company was basically doing product development on an EPC project and budget. Then a PM leader with zero experience as PM was hired from the UK CMI org....just for the reason it was a minority woman, total disaster followed.
PMO and CSE Directors tell an audience of customers the biggest strength of the company is "the diversity". Exactly what a potential customer about to spend millions is interested in..

I am happy to be away from that cesspool. The clean up is going to be ugly and brutal. And by the time the last stack is out (going to Germany) they will let it go belly up.

Go green go broke ! no wonder you were on the C squad engineering team, remember the diesel engine is supporting the big C, if green was so important to the big C all engine plants should be shut down.

Engineering in the Accelera space was a disaster. Three different teams working on three different designs, no collaboration, no expertise in piping/pressure/valves/etc.. Classic sales selling the world and everyone bought in instead of actually going to talk to a ground level engineer or manufacturing person to understand what is really going on with the product. We hit the market way faster than people were ready for, money was wasted for an end of the line product. It has viability and I would bet it comes back at some time in the future. Also to the person who says go green go broke, you're d-mb. Stop being a bootlicker and wanting to rely on corporations to tell you want to do. Green helps the common man and is only resisted by businesses because they dont know how to profit on it yet.

We never had top leaders at DARLINGTON DEP just conmen

@1cj
What TOP leaders would those be? The woke bunch? The ready for discarding flock in the U K? The ones which should have been made redundant years ago but were assigned to the Accelera business in EU to spread their idiocy and ruin the business?

We never had top leaders.

Go green and go broke

Amy keeps on smiling with the pi-s poor results, all of the top leaders need to hit the road.
