Very sorry for those affected. Once again, good people let go. No rhyme or reason. "Wrong desk at the wrong time." Twelve years of job insecurity wears you down.
- and yet a new VP of logistics recently hired from Honda. (how many millions did that cost?) Typical Cat. Invert that management pyramid a little more. Continue to over burden the worker bees. Let mid-careers go and downgrade jobs, only to fill with inexperienced youth. It's the Caterpillar way!
At least 15 laid off from ADSM on 4/30. Last day of the month. Nice of them to do that. Not.
Decatur, IL let go of appox. 50+ company people last week
28 folks laid off from Product Support Logistics Division (PSLD) on 4/30/20
25 to go from Engineering product group Peterlee UK from a pool of 80.
Of course, no number is given about the layoffs until now, so-called global but just in the US so far it seems. They can’t assume numbers? The rest of the world will follow I guess. Unless I missed something.
