Hearing of several one-off layoffs. One person in a department vanishes. ESC. Seems like a week ago was a layoff week. Labs are adding people, ESC is tossing people. Discouraging. Frustrating. What are other people hearing? I can count 5 in the past 3 weeks across plants and corporate.

I know of a few people at the corporate level whose "positions were eliminated," but were conveniently eligible for retirement, and the positions were objectively still needed. So now those of us remaining will suffer through those tasks being performed poorly by random, less qualified people on a temporary basis until HR can recreate the position without being open to a wrongful termination lawsuit.

They are truly into reducing headcount for the plants, in the name of AI automation. Watch out as the plant managers get to report it in their KPIs.
Why would they add to R&D without adding to manufacturing? Already we see the output from R&D very low. Bizarre.
It’s what happens when you have the blind leading the blind in conducting layoffs. It sure looks pretty on paper and who cares if it works or not. Wall Street is pleased and the clueless consultants and execs collect their paydays.
It's a new tactic called quite cutting. Individual layoffs rather than mass layoff from specific departments. Several were cut in corporate communications and HR. A lot of really great people. This should teach everyone a lesson - it doesn't matter how good you are at your job, how valuable you think you are, you can be cut at any time.

Consultants throwing darts at org charts.
Three GS's across three different plants. I believe at Decatur, Cottage Grove, and Cordova. All three had pensions and the ones that don't stayed.
