Or at least I don't see the point in trying hard to exceed this company's expectations. Perhaps someone else still does?

I used to be under impression that I was working for myself, for my future and the future of this company as well. Today I have a feeling that I am working so the leadership can get greater bonuses. Who can stay motivated when they know they are... —  read more 

Is anybody hearing anything about Emersons reputation outside? I am trying to get out but heard a few comments that made me think that some possible employers won’t look at anyone from here

Who’s moving to Aspentech? Anyone?

Leadership seems completely lost. That's my impression. This company used to have clear long-term plans. Now they seem to have no plan other than how to secure their fat bonuses. Correct me if I am wrong.

Not sure how you feel about layoffs, but I think something may be brewing. Do you think we'll have layoffs soon?

This is what happens when the people around you (Farr and now Lal) won’t tell you the truth or tell you you’re wrong.

Everyone I know is leaving again. When will things get better?

Reputable source told me that an activist is pushing Lal to split the company. Anyone know anything.

I thought everyone already knew that this should never be told to anyone here. But they didn't! How many times does it have to be repeated that this is a toxic atmosphere where backstabbing is a daily occurrence? The other day, Emerson found a way... —  read more 

The spin they are taking is that they have stopped all new investments in Russia. They are still operating in Russia—see Metran.

For layoff information you really only need to look at restructuring data from Emerson's annual report. Here it is verbatim "Actions taken in 2021 included workforce reductions of approximately 3,600 positions and the exit of eight production... —  read more 

The Lebanon Missouri plant has become insanity at its best. Hiring a temporary service because they can't find any one in the area to work for them due to Emersons reputation, No training, no respect, no life that sums up working for them... .. —  read more 

Who will be affected by job cuts? Are job cuts coming?

Especially not your job. You need to realize that and adjust your expectations accordingly. If I end up losing my job tomorrow for whatever reason I'll get another one. In this economy, that should be easier than ever. The only reason I'm still here... —  read more 

At least in in the 2 divisions that I worked in, the pay was terrible. Why would anyone want to work harder when every 3-4 years they freeze pay. Things got so bad with the lack of effective technical leadership who didn’t really understand the... —  read more 

Why are so many combining? Is this a good thing or bad thing?

Exiting Russia or staying and taking a major hit to our reputation (and with it, the bottom line, I assume)?

Over 400 companies were graded anywhere from A to D based on their actions. Guess who's on the ever-shrinking list of those that are doing absolutely nothing and have gotten a big, fat F? ... —  read more 

I started looking for another job after because suddenly, after so many years of being a good worker for Emerson, now I get more and more criticism (in my opinion totally unfounded). Management is doing a "great" job when it comes to making... —  read more 

Classic talking out of both sides of the mouth and positioning it by talking to the press to present “the Emerson narrative”

My father worked in this company as well. Back then, Emerson was something else entirely. A company that used to be very innovative, now fails to innovate, and instead we have mergers and acquisitions. I don’t intend to spend much more time here... —  read more 

I knew that Emerson was not a company I wanted to stay in for long, but it turned out that the atmosphere here was worse than I could have imagined. Here, every mediocrity is more valued than people who really have the skills. Maybe I would stay... —  read more 

Where’s Lal?

Is Emerson the next Monsanto, A-B, McDonnell Douglas, TWA, etc? How long can we support a top heavy bloated management structure without organic internal growth? This question will be important when oil prices settle back down.

Emerson India yesterday inaugurated the new 145,000 sq. ft integrated manufacturing facility at Mahindra World City, in Chennai. This facility will manufacture leading Emerson Automation Solutions products to support industrial customers in India and... —  read more 

Pros Can recruit talent (Fishers) In public investing locally The new mayor of Marshalltown pays liveable wages

Amidst all the ‘cultural change and D&I’ happening, it’s the OCE that continues to harken back to the country club days. A classic Farr move, often seen wearing a masters polo shirt, St. Louis CC, Bellerive, or other country club shirt. OCE... —  read more 

I have worked with many good Russian employees over the years. I also know many good Ukrainian staff too. They have been a pleasure to work with. It does have me worried what the impact of the invasion of Ukraine will have on these good people. Will... —  read more 

So many folks have been laid off or fired that I don't see how we could have any more layoffs. I know our management is not the brightest, but even they know that you need SOME employees for the job to get done. It's more likely that we'll see more... —  read more 

They don't give a damn about retaining the talent or making sure that there are enough employees to do the work so everybody who is still here is not overworked. All they do is find ways and reasons for more layoffs so they could reduce the numbers... —  read more 

Seems that any trust in Emerson is long gone. How do you turn that around or maybe you just hire new people while the ones who know how bad the culture is leave?

Where did he slither off to with his kickbacks and impact partner under the table cash?

Isn't it interesting what was said about automation during the first quarter conference call? https://seekingalpha.com/article/4483636-emerson-electric-co-emr-ceo-lal-karsanbhai-on-q1-2022-results-earnings-call-transcript

Do you keep in touch with anyone who left Emerson? Do you think they are doing better or worse? What kind of companies did they go to?

You preach about safety, but if the roads are bad, our safety is not a priority.

No need for people or hiring to fill all the people we lost. We did it without them. Let’s make another video to show how diverse we are with our handful of black people and the dozen women in executive positions.
