This is one of the most important weeks for the Netherlands. Tuesday, impacted people will receive a notification (meeting invite). I pray for the ones impacted and hope their nightmare with this company comes to an end. They are kept I to limbo since December soon this comes to end.
Probably the people
Not adding value will be kept and the ones who are making a difference will be laid off. Anyway, more work for Accenture, Deloitte and all the others.

Since the C Suite was mentioned, the CTO is the most inept of all. Touting his MIT PhD while all he really knows is that playing his bass guitar is what Innovation is really about?!? Say huh? Having worked near “Fs” and his bu**lickers DvD and Sbukakke…good luck to those left.
Hopefully the leadership and team ‘picks’ for Europe aren't as obnoxiously biased as they were for North America
I really hope Cargill reputations is so much damaged that more people will leave overtime , finding a place where they get the respect they own and new employees won’t consider working for a company without soul. Anyway, i am just waiting for the announcement that they have fired the leadership (CFO, CIO, CTO, CEO). Most probably this won’t happen because those people know how to hide and survive.
In the NL and several other EU countries, there are strong laws protecting workers against this type of abuse. In one of the other threads you can read the letter written by the workers council.
TLDR. Cargill is not able to justify he layoffs. So the WC pushes back looking for answers. Cargill then plays dirty not providing any answer and let the time wear the relationships and making it loom like the wc is at fault . WC is doing it's job and looking for answers.
In the mean time, cargill "people first" plea shows it's true colors.
Unfortunately, in the end, the workers pay the price but I'm proud that big corp cannot simply do whatever they want around here.
Someone has to remind big corp that people deserve respect and fair treatment.
Why not rip the band aid off, like they did in every other region? Could there be something that is Europe specific that is out of Cargill's controll?
Yep! I work in the Netherlands and I’m happy it’ll finally be over.
Except.. it won’t actually be over. People who get a meeting invite tomorrow will be informed that their job is at risk. It won’t be a layoff right away. More painful months to come
So sad, such a tragedy. Why don't they just rip the bandaid off and get it over with instead of this long torture. Oh, that's right, forgot that they don't care about humans, animals or the environment . Right Brian?
