Rumor has it that the Proctor and Gamble is laying off from 2,000 to 20,000 workers. Chilling to consider; what is the fallout? We shall see as it develops. Here below is a testament of one of the victims.
Layoffs in 2010 at Proctor and Gamble catch officials off guard: "“pursuant to organizational and operational changes.” (Denise G. Callahan, Staff Writer March 24, 2010)"

Layoffs 2012 are apparently catching workers off Guard
EXCERPT | [Testimony] " ... While a being a dedicated P and G Rm (as we were not supposed to work for other companies-or our competition) I know many P and G Rm's that also worked for other companies. Some received same pay, some would be in the stores doing P and G workorders and also 3rd party work-for P and G- and getting paid $2.00 more than what P and G Rm's got paid. And don't be surprised if you go to one of the companies suggested and you have an ex-P and G Rm for you supervisior.
P and G did not want to pay any benefits, that's why they kept us down to a certain yearly hours we could work. They had alot of work all these years, 3rd partied out P and G work because we had to stay under the yearly hours so they didn't have to pay benefits.
I am also a stockholder. The stockholder's they are concerned with are corporate not the little working people like the aveage Joe or their peon's, grunt workers, P and G little Rm's. The Rm's that have store and customer contact.
Corporate can sell to the stores, but it's the Rm's that get the product sold to the customer so the stores will order more P and G product. Otherwise as corporate sells product to stores and it sits on shelf and does not sell, stores will not order more of a product that does not sell.
How funny it is that we the grunt workers held P and G higher in standards than they show for their employees.
In all, I have met many good, hard working people and made many friendships.
I do not know what I will decided to do after all this is over with, as I have become acustom
to eating and paying bills. I will have to work at some point.
A House (including P and G Corporate House) is only as good as it's foundation (Rm's)
Once you start chipping away at the foundation, the house will start to fall.
Even though we are all shocked and surprised (which is a normal reaction after being slapped in the face) I wish all Rm's well and much, much success. (Today, 09:58 AM. by Anonymous. Re: Layoffs in 2012? LINK) ... "

I am also a recently laid off RM...it is disappointing but the company has been planning this since they did the first wave of layoffs a couple of years ago. I heard from my supervisor then that they were planning to shut it down within 24 months, which is just about the way it went.
The company is now pushing us to go to work for the 3rd party company who will now be doing our jobs, but the jobs are not flexible like our current jobs and the structure is entirely different. All of this altruism is not motivated by P & G's concern for it's discarded workers...it's a push to provide the 3rd party with fully trained workers, which benefits P & G directly, and to avoid having their unemployment insurance premiums go up.
This is my first experience working with an international corporation and I would avoid it in the future if at all possible.
