I had friends who accepted job offers at Caterpillar and the company waited until they moved out to the middle of nowhere, rented apartments, and uprooted their lives before telling them that their jobs were no longer available.
My school actually banned them from recruiting there because of it.
In the early 60's I turned down the Cat 4yr Apprentice program and opted to work part time at Hyster and part time at Bradley. The Army sent me a draft notice, passed my physical, joined the Marines and left Peoria for good. Spent 6yrs in the USMC with two tours in Vietnam, a college degree and ended up in Redondo Beach, CA retiring from TRW Aerospace as a QA Engineer. Never missed Peoria Cat or anything associated with either. My parents both nursed the Cats yellow teat until retirement. It was ok then, but good things don't last forever. One must be aware of their surroundings, read the handwriting on the wall and act/react accordingly.
Can I ask what school? I know of a school that banned CAT, and I just wanted to figure out if they got banned from more than one school.
Cat management is a bunch of luciferian a-holes. They gangstalked my Mom until she ultimately died so they didn't have to pay her pension. She worked for these scumbags for over 30 years - at the stinking Mossville plant, too. Not surprised at how these satanists are firing good Americans to take h1B retards at a much cheaper rate. Hope they burn in hell - soon!
And what do you mean, isn't this illegal? For a company to offer you a job, then eliminate your position? No, don't think so. You aren't owed anything.
But do you really believe CAT intentionally waited for people to relocate, then let them go? CAT is eliminating positions, they are doing a huge reorg. They were a 60 billion dollar company 4 years ago, and staffed for it. Now, they are a 30 billion dollar company, they don't need and can't afford all those positions. CAT offers a great relocation package, if you offered it, you should take it.
Big Yellow proves every day that it pays no attention to its own code of conduct and no ethics when it relates to "adjusting production to meet demand". They are convinced this quote provides reason for their actions. As I heard in a song today they should" think about the consequences of their actions. " If they did, I do not know how the people making these decisions, impacting thousands of lives and families can sleep. But they laugh all the way to the bank with their dividend checks and their generous stock options by making decisions to prop up the stock price.
Isn't this illegal
