Smucker performance and future outlook - concerned.
Just looking at the recent earnings reports and market trends for Smucker, and it's not exactly inspiring. We've seen some shifts in consumer preferences, and frankly, I'm not sure our current portfolio is positioned as well as it could be for the long term. Heard some chatter about potential strategic reviews, and while that's normal, the underlying business performance is definitely a concern. Feels like we might be heading into a period of significant change, and with that, you always worry about headcount. Is anyone else in a similar boat or have insight into how leadership is viewing the next 12-24 months? Trying to stay positive but the numbers aren't lying. Wondering if it's time to start exploring other options proactively.
Anyone else feeling the jitters at Smucker?
Hey all, been seeing some whispers and general unease around the office lately. No official announcements, but the vibe just feels... off. Lot of people talking about 'restructuring' and 'efficiency drives' which usually translates to the same old story. Anyone else in the Smucker camp noticing this? Been here a few years and this is the first time I've felt this kind of low-level anxiety. Just want to get a sense if it's just my department or a wider feeling. Keeping my resume updated just in case, but hoping for the best. Curious to hear if anyone has any actual info or similar gut feelings.
How to prep for interviews if the worst happens?
Okay, not trying to be a doomsayer, but given the general economic climate and some of the recent earnings calls (even if they were okay), I'm starting to think about worst-case scenarios. I've been in my current role, Brand Management for Snacks, for about 7 years and honestly, my resume hasn't been updated in ages. If layoffs do hit, and I'm not fortunate enough to be one of the ones who gets to negotiate a sweet severance, I want to be ready. Anyone got tips on brushing up interview skills? Or resources for refreshing a resume to highlight transferable skills? Feeling a bit rusty on the whole job-hunting front and don't want to be caught completely off guard. Trying to be proactive here.
Heard whispers about potential restructuring in R&D, anyone else?
Been with Smucker for about 5 years now, working in the consumer insights team within R&D. Lately, there's been a lot of chatter – not official, of course, but you know how it is. Rumors about a potential 'strategic realignment' impacting some of the innovation pipelines. My direct manager has been super cagey when I've asked about project roadmaps beyond Q2. Seems like there's a freeze on some longer-term initiatives and a push to consolidate resources. Is anyone else in product development or research hearing similar things? Curious if this is company-wide or specific to certain departments. Feels a bit unsettling when you're deep into a multi-year project and suddenly the funding feels shaky.
Wondering about severance if things do shake out...
Worked in supply chain for J.M. Smucker for 8 years. Love the company culture historically, but the recent market shifts and competitor actions have me a little nervous. We haven't had any official word, but there's been a lot of talk and some hiring freezes in non-essential areas. If layoffs do happen, what's a realistic severance package to expect? I've heard good things about Smucker being fair in the past, but times are different. Thinking about my mortgage and family, you know? Anyone on here who's been through a layoff at Smucker before, or has experience from other CPG companies, what did you get? Any advice on negotiating if it comes to that?
Anyone else feeling the quiet at Smucker lately?
Been with the company about 5 years now, mostly in marketing. Lately, the vibe has been... off. Less communication from leadership, more hushed conversations in the virtual hallways. We had that big restructure announcement a few months back, and while they said it was about efficiency, it feels like a precursor to something else. My team is still here, but workloads are shifting, and some key people who used to be vocal are suddenly silent, or gone without much fanfare. Just feels like the calm before a storm, you know? Trying not to let the anxiety get to me, but it's hard. Anyone else in CPG experiencing similar things? Or is it just J.M. Smucker specific right now?
