Hi Corporate Office,
I share same attitude as my former coworkers. We were laid off today at the Liberty, SC Hybrid Plant. No one knows how they decided who got the ax. Most they keep the coordinators and a few of their friends.
No seniority given preference. Most of those laid off were in their 50"s and 60's. The Capacitor and Battery Plants needed people.Myself and 3 coworkers were sent to battery for 4 weeks. They welcomed us and wanted us to stay before we got them ahead.
A celebration was planned for all laid off employees today but Gary Thompson ruin it for us. It was going to be outside with tents, masks and social distancing.He made the engineers and workers take the tents down and we just came in today and handed in our badges. He wasn't even there to greet us, say thank you or anything.
This kind of person which was mentioned by some employees today that he was on drugs. Who does this to people without something being wrong with them? After all our hard work over the years and the mistreatment and poor management there. People that remain there are fed up with Abbott. a multimillion/billion company and never could or would doing anything for the employees like bonuses gifts. etc.
The morale is down, the turn over rate high. The racism there is unbelievable.
I have a college degree plus and after they found out they wouldn't train me on but 2 jobs where everyone else were trained on multiple jobs. I couldn't say what I want to say in inclusion meeting, but would like to discuss further with corporate.
Thanks,
Deloris Robinson
