So far in CAT India (ACSD)

-Product manager has been demoted to Engg Manager level.

-New Product manager leading the ACSD/ PD&GT union & he is known to reduce workforce like anything increasing productivity. He used to work in GE, wants to implement best practices from there.

-Under ACSD India 2 Div Managers are let go. About 10 -15 max may have been let go till now which is very low compared to guys in US.

-None of the mgmt has been forthright in communicating anything yet. Productivity/ morale falls to abysmal levels, I believe the mgmt is very weak/ decisive here causing an atmosphere of chaos. I am sure people will get a heart attack just guessing about their futures.

-However I think if layoffs dont happen today (Wed) then may be India may not see significant workforce reduction.
