Wages need to be adjusted, not following the inflation
We are falling behind. Inflation is eating into wages. We need pay bumps soon. By the way, they will start with layoffs soon. Just my feeling, but you never know.
A word of caution
Don't rely on what you are told will be your job during your interview. I went in expecting one thing and I was greeted with something completely different. I could deal with being given additional responsibilities, but I was expected to do things I... — read more

Future of Midland Real Estate Values?
Not involved at Dow but wondering how all the layoffs will affect property values in Midland. More to come?
Running the company through fear
Management at Dow is among the worst I've ever had the (dis)pleasure of working for. They think that the best approach to running a company is through fear. Instead of encouraging people to do their best work they rely on threats and what pretty much... — read more
Constant layoffs
I understand the company is simply doing all it can to survive, but the constant mergers and divestitures have removed even a semblance of job security. There's no need to wonder if there will be new layoffs when we know next consolidation is right... — read more
Hypocrisy is blinding
the company is so big and bloated with upper management it stinks. at the medium/lower levels we are very understaffed in research you can't even walk down the steps without seeing posters that we might all fall and die at any moment if we don't pay... — read more
Workload keeps increasing
I have to admit I used to enjoy working here. I still do to a point. Pay is decent, we get good benefits, and I work with bright and motivated people who are far from backstabbers I used to work with before I joined Dow. But man oh man are they... — read more
Tired of rampant nepotism at Dow Chemical
This is getting ridiculous. If you are looking to get ahead at Dow, first you have to wait for the management to hire and promote their entire family and friends, then MAYBE you'll be able to make your way a step or two (max) up. I wish I was... — read more
Tossed under the bus
I was given my notice, was told they didn’t want to hold me back, are you kidding! It finally came out that my “leader” was on the chopping block so he tossed us aside to save himself, maybe next time will actually get a leader instead of a weakling... — read more

Intel just hired Paula Tolliver as CIO
Good for Paula. Not sure who is still buying Intel chips as they are not in mobile devices, but good for her anyway. I am sure people who will work for her will hate it.
Dow Corning
Layoffs are coming soon. Look at Dow and DuPont stock, they can't do nothing! I work at Dow Corning and can see the writing on the wall.
