Caterpillar reviews

As a supplemental employee at caterpillar, you will pay union dues just like everyone else, but you will not receive any representation from the union. You are considered an "at will" employee which means that you can be walked out for any reason at any time and the union will do nothing about it. You also don't receive any healthcare or 401k and you cannot bid off onto any full-time jobs. There is no holiday pay or vacation pay. There is nothing more than time and a half after 40 hours.

They are enforcing returning to office by any means necessary. They have lost many high-quality producers who have refused to relocate or refuse to come in. Here's the kicker - they are requiring in-person attendance at the Chicago office and there aren't even enough desks for everyone. It would be a literal fire hazard if we all came into the Chicago office at the same time, M-F, during business hours. No one knows how or if they are going to actually enforce this. Cost of gas is insane, Joe doesn't care about the workers. Or the work for that matter. It's obvious this is a soft layoff, they have made a bunch of people quit. Their internal design agency is falling apart, lots of people have quit, not only because of return to office but because of the toxic politics, favoritism, and lack of direction and accountability. Mediocre workers are allowed to keep their jobs ONLY because of their ability to put their bodies in a chair and work in-person. The other relocation option HR gave besides Chicago was Peoria. No one wants to live in Peoria for any reason whatsoever, be for real.
