Kraft announced a few months ago there were going to be layoffs in corporate, specifically in Maureen and my building. We knew it would hit close to home, maybe to close, but thankfully Maureen found a great job at 7 Ticks, and I dodged the axe.
Several people with whom I have worked since I started at Kraft got let go today. I have a friend who just had his first child a few weeks ago get laid off today. Another friend who is 5 months pregnant. Several others have not been talked to yet and are borderline panicking.
Maureen's old department got slaughtered. They eliminated the VP, the Sr. Director, and they even eliminated a great friend of ours, Maureen's former manager. About 50% or more of Maureen's old department got let go today. Nobody at Maureen's level was spared.
So..........the corporate air is rather cold today, but most people are holding their breath.
