If the pattern holds, they will wait for the results of the 3Q financials (7-10ets days) then quickly pick layoff 15-targets. So Oct 15-22

Trolls are funny - hey, Troll, go such a pipe...

Lol!

Wow ... Minneapolis? Try harder troll... There is no subsidiary there.

Minneapolis will be hit next month, I am not going to go with the rest of posters who complain about quality of posts here. all i have to say is that i heard that a location will be hit, some layoffs are being prepped. i dont know who will be... — read more 

Bonuses at months end

Donkey crap poster is definitely a member of management. Lol

Biggest round of crap I have ever read. You people who feed on this stuff? Donkey s&@t

you say whatever you want but historically this site predicted things

rofl! maybe on Friday?

Looks like all the rumors on this site are pure BS!

Cricket....cricket

Cricket....cricket

Alls quite at laclede... For now

Trolls get their kicks by seeing people inflamed. Whether or not layoffs are real, the trolls on this board are laughing at the people getting worked up about it. Hope you are all still employed on tuesday.

many of you will see me first thing in the morning. Sleep tight, or not, you'll be home early enough tomorrow to go back to sleep.

Since their name is Mngt, they MUST be from management. Nailed!

If the previous comment is from management....It is our sorry asses that made this company so F U

Monday your sorry asses hit the street, good riddance

rumors almost always tend to be true by past experience

Wow. "The Voice of Reason" has popped in and gave his two cents. He never heard of the company. LOL I have. I worked there. The management isn't incompetent and useless. They don't care about the employee. My biggest complaint is that my director had... — read more 

I saw my supervisor's email, it said we were all getting puppies! Sorry, i dont even know what sigma aldrich is, this site is ridiculous. Check the other companies, it is all angry ex employees yelling at each other and calling one person or another... — read more 

I hear they are having a company wide party and giving everyone 20% raises and you get the week off, maybe two weeks, they haven't decided, then another 20% raise after that.

Does anyone relly know for sure that this will happen on Mon?

When I started the policy was you had to work a full year until you were eligible to take your vacation days. The vacation time that I have is already EARNED, it was accrued the previous year. FlimFlam if you ask me.

Anonymous 12:32. The new vacation policy was mentioned. I dont see anything unreasonable. Maybe the numbers are inflated for drama, but let's be real...more layoffs are coming.

If anyone on here knew what they were talking about, they would have said the vacation policy has been in effect since just before the "layoff". There is so much outrageous BS on this site it is laughable. Granted, the rumors mill is out of control... — read more 

@anon 1224...agreed. while the vacation talk is suspect and i'm sure frightenning to those involved, there is so much suspect on here, so many dark statements akin to "i cannot say more" that the vacation rationale is equally tempered by obvious... — read more 

It looks like people have been posting more lies and misinformation. I severely doubt anyone posting to this forum knows anything about any layoffs. Nothing will happen on Monday...and yet people will still be all doom and gloom and set another... — read more 

I truly doubt the accuracy of that. It would be a security risk to lay people off and not immediately escort them from whatever buldings they might have worked in or have access to.

Are you kidding? They are going to announce layoffs and expect people to stay through the end of the month? Because they paid health insurance? So, what's going on in India? I see that they are building up workers. Is the plan to have India be the... — read more 

Number is Down to 12%, I saw an email about severance, since they paid for your medical through sept, they will work you guys till the end of the month, bad news coming Monday for at least 800 company wide.

Nothing happened so far today. We'll see how the end of the week goes

I guess it will all come out in a couple of week. Cutting 20 percent of employees can mean anything. I wonder if the twenty percent is straight layoffs. Perhaps there is a deal to outsource key functions or sell a division. Just thinking positively... — read more 

Glad I jumped ship when I did. Holy smokes. Keep your chin up, everyone.

is it true what they are saying about layoffs today

20% seems way too high. No business can cut that much without taking a big hit to revenue. I'll be shocked if it's anything close to that.

Way too much misinformation to believe any of these rumors. 20 percent is way too big of a number. Of course we will soon see the truth.

This is shameful - SA was such a good company and it's a shame to see it downsize so rapidly, it just tells you how incompetent execs are. I left in 2009 on my own but many dear friends are still there... On execs - Rakesh is mediocre at best, Silji... — read more 

It sounds like they are going to call groups into meetings and informing them that they are laid off. This company has really made a turn for the worse! I hope they won't need the extra security!
