Alright, I have been reading all of these and I feel the need to comment. Everything I have read has done nothing except bring anxiety and anger to me. So I want to outline what we are seeing and hopefully help ease some anxious minds.
- Could they have done it better? Probably.
- Does this super su-k? Yeah
- Whatever happens, it’s not because we as individuals greatly blundered. In the end, it is not your fault.
- Being angry is the immediate response, but it’s only stressing me out more than it’s helping me.
- They are laying off 5% globally, not just U.S. which would be around 8,000 employees. That could be you or could be your buddy.
Being angry will only do so much, in the end it’s up to us to support each other with whatever happens. If we all lose hope and drive then we could all end up losing our jobs if the company went under. At this point it is going to be up to us to rally and show everyone what we are made of. Being laid off does not determine your value as a person. Your character and how you display it every day in the work place displays value and if Cargill does not want that, a lot of other companies will. No I am not a higher up. I’m towards the bottom and fairly new and this honestly scares me. I’m still getting started in life. But I don’t want that fear and anxiety to control my clarity of mind. We will get through this. hunger games salute
