I've worked there 15. I'm perfectly happy to stay. I have a deep respect for my boss and the people I work with. But we aren't there to be buddies.
I feel bad for those who got laid off. But the political bickering in this thread misses the point.
When you work for a publicly-traded company (such as Deere), you don't work for the company or its customers, first and foremost. You work for the shareholders. The primary charter of executives is shareholder value. Now, there are plenty of ways in which customer obsession, and treating employees well can impact results, thereby impacting the stock price. But in the short run, executives of these companies are ruthlessly focused on the share price.
