Thread regarding Cargill layoffs

Snipping Narratives on Global Town Hall

First, it began as a pledge: “We’re doing this now so we don’t have to do it again.”
Then, uncertainty crept in: “We hope we’ll never have to do it at this scale again.”
Soon, it became justification: “This is part of modernizing our operations.”
And finally, resignation: “We must continue making hard decisions.”

Meanwhile, conflicting statements from leadership painted a murky picture—while the CEO denied external influence, the CFO openly acknowledged a consultant-driven path forward. The result? A narrative that feels less like transparency and more like damage control.

Worked here for 12 years until this layoff that came out of nowhere and happened within 5 minutes. I don’t recognize the company I appreciated in years past. Think those of us that got let go may be the lucky ones when all is said and done.

Why even have a town hall? This might be the least transparent company in existence. Why even pretend to put on a show?

Stay clear of this company is my message to you all. Lies after lies. Will the workcouncils buy that? I hope not but they will push it through regardless. NO logic to the roles made redundant. No logic to the communications. Everytime the share something is worst than what they said last. Totally baffling. FUN FACT****: The team in charge of planning this news have never done anything like this (well, successfully I mean) so the consultants they paid to do it literally had their fun copying and pasting stuff you normally say and missed every point raised. Good luck to Cargill's Competition, as Cargill dug it's own grave. Those left can see what they have coming real soon

Shocking treatment of employees and very poor communications over the last few days - blow after blow as the details unfolded. Stop treating people like they are stupid, we asked for this apparently ??? Denying consultants when you are the highest consulting spent org I ever worked for. Saying you are offering good settlement terms - at best they are average for a big company - but how you treating the transition arrangements is diabolical. The CEO yesterday shutting down all the 'thematic questions around 900' and not bothering to answer but provided general processes response. This mess - the worst I have seen in my long career - is organised by the leadership at Cargill, change the management first before messing up peoples lives. Yes you had another casualty, NO you wont make profit because the people left play the Cargill game of pushing paper, talking about idealistic stuff and doing nothing. The VP of Global Comms talks total BS buzzword salad and she is the one in charge of these briefings. Total Sham/BS all around. If it wasn't so sad it would be lough-able. DO BETTER CARGILL LEADERS AND SHOW SOME EMPATHY not just write about it. Those in corporate roles you will get your comeuppance

That is all it was, damage control. They hired at communication firm and had weeks to prep this. We got this awful meeting. This exec team had better get it together because people see the gap and competition is recruiting hard.
