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 company you’d want your kids to work at. No values, no putting people first. Just greedy executives trying to fool Cargill itself when they only look out for number one, themselves. There’s no bright future for Cargill with these cowboys in charge.

Many of these “promotions” are dry promotion, so no compensation increases. Who doesn’t love increased responsibility with no pay increase? Another morale booster that is very tone deaf.
You can also see some people who are not strong confident leaders trying to grab power by loudly stating their position over and over. Kind of like a certain POTUS. If they say it enough, it will become fact/truth and they will become validated. Their way will become the way no matter how bad that way is. The days of delivering value are over. The era of posturing and bullying is here.
In DT&D, anything that used to be business-related, such as roles involving project management skills, business analysts (BAs), and IT advisors was transitioned into application developers. (In their minds, this is distinct from software engineering.) Overall, they have diminished the role of individual contributors, even demoting some, while management roles have been inflated with titles like "director" appearing everywhere. Let’s not forget to mentioned some leaders who apparently have a sixth sense for leadership potential, handpicking their favorites based on a quick chat and a vibe check. Who needs resumes or experience when you’ve got gut feelings, right?
Can you give example of whose role changed from what to what ?
This won’t happen in any other organisation. It Just wouldn’t.,you can’t jump departments at senior level to a different specialism. Cargill is a joke! Its leaders won’t last a second in banking or any other sector where accountability is key
McKinsey will tell anyone that fancy job titles are free. Ladder climber’s have huge egos and will do plenty to feel important. Meanwhile, the salary will be increased “once you prove you can do the job”.
Eventually Cargill will just lose relevance to customers and future generations of employees. I look forward to watching the yes men become leaders of the most inconsequential company in the world.
Ah the favorite yes men. They have the skill of kissing backside upwards and dressing up pointless activities as key achievements. Only at Cargill!
