Michelin reviews

Too process-oriented, slows down efficiencies and aiblity to move swiftly and focus on the real job. Tries to overcompensate by pushing down gazillion initiatives (often with unreasonably tight timelines) on increasingly skimpier human resource. This results in overworked and overstressed employees at every level of the hierarchy & ends up bringing the worst out of people instead. In order to survive in this environment where it's a constant race against time, employees need to focus on spitting out output and no longer care and fight to do what they know and believe is a better way forward... Michelin has not been walking the talk when it comes to respecting and caring for their valuable human resource & they've started paying for it. Employees are learning to let go and not care as much in order to keep their head above the water.

Michelin promotes itself as a company that never does layoffs, but the reality is quite different. Instead of openly communicating workforce reductions, employees are being discreetly forced to resign. HR informs employees—often without any prior notice—that their position has been “dissolved,” “made redundant,” or is “no longer required.” When asked for documentation explaining why the position is being removed, HR refuses to provide anything official. To make matters worse, employees are pressured to submit their resignation citing “personal reasons” instead of the actual reason — that their role has been eliminated. The entire process is designed to make it look like a voluntary exit rather than a layoff. This practice appears to be supported by both local HR and higher management, including managers from France. It’s a disappointing and unethical way to handle workforce changes, especially for a company that publicly claims to uphold respect, transparency, and long-term employment values.
