Coca-Cola

Struggling to find any motivation to hit my KPIs

Is anyone else finding it literally impossible to care about the quarterly goals right now? Ever since the last round of cuts started circulating, my focus has been non-existent. I sit at my desk, stare at my dashboard, and think, 'Why am I grinding for a company that views my entire department as a spreadsheet optimization?' I used to take pride in the output, but the 'survivor guilt' combined with the constant fear of the next reorg is just draining. I find myself doing the bare minimum just to avoid a PIP, but the passion is completely gone. I see my peers doing the same thing—we’re all just quietly updating our LinkedIn profiles during the downtime. How is everyone else coping with this? Does it get better, or is the culture just permanently shifted to this high-anxiety state?

Kalamazoo site hit—anyone have visibility on scope?

Just saw the WARN notice for the Kalamazoo facility regarding the 102 headcount reduction. I know we’ve been hearing rumors about efficiency targets for a while now, but seeing the actual number pop up on the state filing makes it feel way too real. My manager is acting like it’s business as usual, but the mood in the department is absolutely toxic right now. It feels like we’re all just waiting for the next shoe to drop. Does anyone have any insight into whether this is strictly warehouse/logistics or if corporate functions were caught in this round too? I’m trying to figure out if I should start refreshing my resume this weekend or if this is isolated to that specific site. The lack of transparency from leadership is honestly the most frustrating part of the whole process.

Confirmed: Northampton impacted by 175 role reduction

Just saw the news officially hit the wires regarding the 175 roles getting axed at Northampton. It’s a gut punch, especially for those of us who have been here through the last few restructures. The tone in the office today was incredibly somber; it feels like the energy has been completely sucked out of the room. I’ve seen a few people packing up their desks already, which makes it feel incredibly real. Management is doing the usual corporate speak about 'streamlining' and 'future-proofing,' but it’s hard to swallow when you see talented colleagues heading for the door. For those of you asking for details, yes, the number floating around 175 is accurate as of the 18th. If you were one of the people impacted today, I really hope you have a solid severance package and a plan in place. This isn't the company it was five years ago. Stay strong everyone, and for those still here, watch your back and keep your LinkedIn updated.

Anyone else feeling completely checked out after the 6/18 update?

Is it just me, or does it feel like we’re all just going through the motions until the next round of cuts hits? After the announcement on the 18th, the vibe in the Northampton office is just dead. I spent my morning staring at my calendar, honestly struggling to care about the project deliverables for Q3. How are you all finding the motivation to even log in? The research about survivor guilt and lack of trust is hitting home hard right now. Every time a meeting invite pops up from a manager, my stomach drops. I keep telling myself I need to be professional and keep grinding, but it feels like the goalposts move every single week. Is anyone actually working on their exit strategy, or are you guys just waiting to see how much of this site they end up gutting by the end of the year? I feel like I'm wasting my time putting in extra effort when the focus is clearly on shrinking the headcount rather than supporting the people who are left.

Is anyone actually surprised by the latest Northampton news?

Another 175 people out the door in Northampton. It’s becoming a recurring theme, isn't it? I’ve been with the company for a few years now, and the 'we’re all a family' vibe has completely evaporated. Now it’s just pure corporate jargon and quarterly cost-cutting measures. I’ve seen this pattern before in other big firms, and it never ends with just one round. You hit your numbers, you hit your KPIs, you do the extra hours, and at the end of the day, you’re still just a line item on a spreadsheet to someone sitting in an office thousands of miles away. Is it time to start looking elsewhere before the next wave hits, or is the market just as brutal everywhere else? I’m genuinely curious if anyone here has successfully pivoted to a different sector after getting laid off by Coke. I’m tired of the anxiety and the constant shifting of goalposts. If you got an exit package today, take the time to breathe. The rest of us are just waiting for the next shoe to drop.

Northampton site shutting down bits, morale is at rock bottom

It’s really starting to feel like the death by a thousand cuts here. Saw the news about the 175 roles being cut in Northampton, and honestly, the uncertainty is worse than the actual news itself. You walk into the office or log onto Slack, and you can just feel the air being sucked out of the room. Half the people are acting like everything is fine, and the other half are just counting the minutes until they get an invite to a 'private chat' with HR. Does anyone actually trust the leadership's 'strategic restructuring' talk anymore? We’re told we’re valued, yet we hear about these cuts through external news outlets before we get a company-wide email. It’s impossible to stay motivated when you’re constantly looking over your shoulder. If you’re one of the ones who were let go today, my heart goes out to you. For those of us left behind, how are you guys handling the survivor guilt? I find myself unable to focus on any deliverables knowing that the workload is just going to be dumped on whoever is left, even though we’re supposedly 'streamlining'.

Just got laid off - AMA

Well, folks, it finally happened. Got the call this morning. Was told my role was being eliminated 'due to restructuring'. I was a Senior Analyst in the Supply Chain department, been with Coke for 8 years. Severance was 2 weeks per year of service + accrued vacation, and they're paying for outplacement services. Honestly, I'm still processing it all. I'm happy to answer any questions, especially if it can help others prepare. This whole thing feels surreal. The meeting lasted all of 10 minutes.

Okay, so maybe I'm being paranoid, but I just walked past a section of the building near finance, and a bunch of the office doors were locked and had maintenance notices on them. I've never seen that before outside of actual construction. Is this some kind of weird drill? I'm in sales, so maybe I'm out of the loop, but it felt super ominous, especially with all the 'record profit' emails flying around. Anyone else notice anything strange going on today?

Rant

Scared about potential performance-based cuts - anyone else?

I'm in Supply Chain and I'm honestly terrified. Our numbers haven't been great this quarter and my manager has been riding my ass about 'efficiencies'. I've been here for 6 years, always gotten 'meets expectations' but nothing stellar. I'm worried they're going to use this as an excuse to trim the fat and I'll be first on the list. Anyone else feeling the same pressure? Any tips on how to make myself look more indispensable in the next few weeks? Seriously losing sleep over this. My wife's pregnant and we just bought a house. Ugh.
