Caterpillar Layoffs 2017

I spent last 10 years with our company and it'd be a real shame if they were to decide to lay people off from our offices in Peoria.

Brad Halverson should go. (Along with Oberhelman).

Brad Halverson should go. He is about as egotistical as they can get, doesn't take input, thinks because he's the boss he knows better and is smarter than everybody else. He is not a leader, he doesn't even understand what leadership is. And... read more

I saw a list of names

I saw a list of names for layoff on 8-29 that included ~30 engineers, 15 of which I worked directly with at some point, 3 of which were former SG25-26 bosses of mine. Even heard of a couple of SG 28-30 managers "encouraged" to retire.

Help's coming

The company will try to place the impacted employees, who are in primarily engineering functions, in other available positions throughout the company — or help them in their transition to a new job outside of Caterpillar
