Dow chemical has no ethics!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 years ago our plant could not keep people, so Dow came up with a retention plan. 10% of your base for 2 years and the big one at the end 20% of your gross was the main goal. This seemed to work alot of guy's said thats a fair deal as other plants to the north are paying more money but with this retention plan it's so close that it not worth the move.....wrong.

They told us this is a legal deal no one can take it away, they promised us out the ying yang that this is a soild deal.

Well they paid us one year now we come to work today to find out that they have cancelled the whole deal. Nice 2 years in and they pull it out.

Very dissapointing to be lied to and mislead once again from DOW CHEMICAL. So coming from somone who has been here for 10 years, do not trust any deals with Dow as you will more than likley get screwed! They have proved without a doute that they cannot be trusted. If you can buy a different product that supports their employee's with resect and honor, I would have to say buy it from them. As every time you see a DOW product please put it back on the shelf.

Thanks from the entire Shift group at LP-7 Dow Prentiss.

Overkill:

What if your employer came into an employee meeting and said:

"This is tough for me to say this, but business is down significantly, we have too many employees for the business we do have and what we forcast for, so Tom, Cindy, Bill and Overkill will need to be let go"


When business goes soft, employers can cut costs in many ways. Shave a little off the top for everybody, or let certain people go.

In your case, it seems as though your employer had two options
1. Cancel the retention bonus
2. Cancel certain jobs (Of which one of them could be yours by the way)

Seems to me, they did the right thing given the choices.

What good would a bonus do you if that bonus drained the company checkbook to the point where they had to shut the doors 1,2,4,6,12 months later?

Be grateful for the job you do have, and start spreading the resume around and see how many calls you get from people hiring right now...........

HA, funny thing we are supposed to get a retention bonus in Sept for staying on with a company that is in CCAA protection, if they dont pay up, Alot of the OPS are gone, lots of good companies looking for Second Class Power Engineers with 10 years of Sour Gas experience. Although the company I work for is pretty good about this stuff and I dont think they would screw us.

No harm intended, just couldn't see anything snowmobile related about the thread!

I guess Dow Chemical has a ton of technology in plastics, there are lots of plastic parts on a snowmobile. There for making this thread SNOWMOBILE related.

Real smart to tell everyone not to buy your product. How long do you think you will have a job if everyone takes your great advise? I understand you didn't get what was promised but times are tough, be glad you have a job. If it is so terrible find another job. I'm sure someone out there would appreciated having yours. Business owners are doing everything we can to keep doors open and people working. If I saw one of my employees saying something like this you can bet it would be their last day. With your attitude though I'm sure its just a matter of time until they show you the door. It amazes me how many people show up, punch the clock, leave at 3, and think that they could run a multi million or billion dollar company.

if you don't like it...quit.

pretty simple
