John Deere has an identity crisis - Supply Management John Deere Employee Review

John Deere can't decide if it's a tech company or a manufacturing company. The senior leadership has steered the ship into an identity crisis and picks and chooses the parts they like of each industry. With the except of a few, the CEO staff has lost all connection with employees and quite frankly don't think they care. The level below that mostly focuses on themselves and how they can look good. The level below that is just as bad. Gone are days of collaboration, being honest with leadership and expressing your views. If you don't fall in line don't expect to get a promotion or recognition. The group leading this company are so out of touch with what's going on and the work the employees are doing, but yet the continue to push out things like employees are valuable, new core values like humanity, etc. Yet they do the complete opposite, it's as if they are doing this because it's an expectation and to save face. The constant workforce reductions are taking away any opportunities for upward mobility. Reduce headcount, but don't reduce the work and just pile it on. There are better places that will treat you with more appreciation and respect. This environment has become toxic, cut throat and uninspiring.
