Not done in fashion with the "Core Values" John Gremp proffesses. This new level of management could bury what can survive the downturn in business if not carefully restructured from the mass and thoughtless cuts they have executed. Talent needs to be brought back to lead the effort of survival.

I agree we worked so hard to better ourselves and skills by going to school for fmc taken time away from family to learn skilled trade to help fmc.With the amount of older workers retiring fmc technologies asked all of us to go to school and when times are tough we all get let go well guess what oil prices will get better and people will continue to age and you just let go of your future and trained them to work for other companies after they made fmc record amounts of $$$$. Not very smart planning for the future
hundreds of years of experience were led out the door over the past 6 months. Bringing any of those people back would be an admittance of failure, so it will never happen. Many employees, or should I say "roles", were chosen specifically because of years of service because the company wants to cap financial exposures to pensions. "Valuing people" plays no part in the reductions....careless and wreckless decisions are being made purely on a financial basis. The current Measurement management won't defend any position losses because they themselves fear risk losing their jobs if they speak out against any decisions made by Houston.
Erie update : 16 more hourly skilled workers laid off yesterday and all 5 management fishing club members are still here
The FMC Core Values are a joke. Valuing People? The company places absolutely no value on its employees or their skill sets. Integrity? That is a joke. Gremp and his cronies are loading up on FMC stock while it's cheap, then causing thousands of hard working people to lose their livelihoods in order to drive the value up so they can sell and then bail. Of course, selling or merging the company will get them there that much quicker. 5 or 6 greedy mikkionaires are destroying the lives of thousands. This is classic American Corporate behavior.
