Do you think there's a slim possibility of voluntary layoffs? It would be so much better than the fear of forced cuts. People who are ready to go could leave with dignity, and it might reduce the number of involuntary terminations.

Other big companies in MN do this and it allows people who have their numbers in to bridge gaps to their retirement age with severance. What Cargill wouldnt help us left behinders with is reposting jobs in MN they would allow the MN peeps to leave then replace elsewhere normally jobs that need to be replaced for a voluntary departure would allow room and growth for others in lower jobs and the chain continues but this strategy at Cargill looks more like we dont like this person or they dont have the skills we need in this role now bye. Instead of giving people continuing education options or even asking if they would like to try the new role. Its just sad we give so much of our lives to these companies to get very little in return. We are just a number and the company is just a paycheck we are here to do X job during these hours for Y dollars. They need better culture if you actually want me to care about the company again. Passion comes from caring and caring comes from culture Cargill lacks both right now.
@g9 please take it, give up weekends, work late nights, miss family events, ect and then get laid off via a 30 second call/replaced by 3rd world 'talent'. Such a naive reply haha
Y'all talking layoffs and I'm here looking at my offer letter. Lol
The big reason they will never do a voluntary layoff/buyout is that a lot of top talent would absolutely take the severance (knowing they would easily find another job elsewhere that might even be higher paying and/or better culture), while some of the lower performers would not take it, they'd rather "quiet quit" and hang on!
Only if they announce annother signicant reorg. Or maybe if there is a targeted restructure in your BU. Otherwise... no. They did not do that last reorg because they loose the upper hand. That fear and anxienty is not amateur work. That's accounted for when they do it.
