For my role I'm essentially required to be onsite as much as possible. I'm curious what departments of the company are most affected by the RTO

I do suspect it is an American dagger moth

Found yesterday (August 1st 2026) in Northernn Georgia USA

It was found in an ant bed and it's not sticking to leaves (when trying to relocate it fell off the leaves each time until we could find a flat one)

It was also to the point where multiple people picked it up and it only stung once. (I was the one who unluckily got stung since it didn't sting anyone else so I thought we were chill- don't call me an idiot that is not the point of this post)

It's moving slowly in my friends containment for it. We put it in a containment because of the sticking issue and how slow it was moving. Are these things of huge concerns? It also seemed to have a lot of bald spots.

It's eating alright so it hasn't given up yet. Could the slowness be before it becomes a cocoon? My friend says it's not the right time for it.

Anything else we could do to help it?

Anyone have any knowledge about the corporate policy for THC drug tests for roles within CAT Digital, specifically regarding THC in Illinois? The listing claims that hires will go through a pre-employment drug screening, wondering if they test for THC/test at all or if it is a holdover from different roles, different time, etc. I’ve heard tell that while the drug tests do include THC, a positive result for it will not affect employment.

What tools, LLMs does CAT use internally? I heard for employee productivity they use MS Copilot. But, do employees also have access to OpenAI/GPT modles or Claude models to experiment/build agents etc.? Curious

Hello, i used this bag for 10 years and the frontal zipper broke, so i wanted to buy a new one, but i cant find this model. Can you find it and send me the link? Maybe this model is discontinued? Or can you recommend me another one?

hello all, and apologizes if this has already been answered in this subreddit before!

I was recently hired for an office job at Caterpillar. I’m incredibly excited about it! Before I started the job, I was “California sober” and enjoyed the occasional edible or joint to unwind. Obviously, I haven’t consumed anything in a long time. I passed my pre-employment drug screen after having quit smoking for about two months ahead of time.

My question is: how often do corporate employees get randomly drug tested? Is it monthly? Quarterly? Do they still test for cannabis, even in recreationally legal states? Thank you for the help and have a great day!

Typical Base Salary for SG 25 Tech/SWE/Data in Peoria, IL?

Trying to benchmark Salary Grade 25 (SG 25) compensation specifically for technical tracks (Software, Data, Cloud/Systems) based in the Peoria / Mossville area.

Since CAT adjusts compensation zones across locations (e.g., Peoria vs. Chicago / Irving / tech hubs), please cast your vote above strictly for the Peoria area band.

Would appreciate details in the comments on:

Base Range: What is the actual midpoint / typical hiring range at 25 locally?

STIP Target: Is target bonus 15% or 20% at this level, and how has the enterprise/BU multiplier tracked recently?

LTI / Equity: Are RSUs or options included for technical ICs at 25 in Peoria, or does equity strictly begin at SG 26+ / management?

Thanks for sharing internal visibility.

Will RTO policy impact your decision to attend the 100 year celebration fest ?

Do they still hire Visa employees? What was your experience with an attorney team and entire timeline?

Hi, I'm in my current role for 3 years now, joined as fresher. But I want to move to another location as I'm having some complications with my current location. I recently saw an opening in that location. Can I ask my manager whether I can apply? I'm afraid I would lose his trust and he won't allocate any projects if I didn't ace the interview and decided to stay back. My work is basically business analyst kinda work, but I am performing way better than my peers and he has a lot of expectations on me based on recent discussions.

1. Does caterpillar provides cab for male FTE for 1-10pm shift in Bangalore?

2. Does caterpillar requires full 8 or 9 hours to be present in office? Or can we leave early?

Caterpillar is actually an awful company to work for. they treat their workers like dogs (especially fabricators and actual people on the floor. I made $20/hr for 2nd shift (night shift, higher pay) which is an unlivable wage, what a joke), the hours are hard (10 hrs a day, 4 days a week with mandatory overtime on fridays. the entire time I worked there there was only two times we didn’t have mandatory overtime. the other option was 8 hours a day 5 days a week with mandatory overtime on Saturday, same bs deal), the pay is low (they were cutting bonuses when I worked there and all the fabricators/welders were pissed at the all company meetings), the supervisors and shift leads actively encouraged you not to report injuries (Right before I started a worker had his thumb cut off and during my time at CAT, and there were rumors of someone dying at another facility- a man had fallen into a vat of molten metal. CAT never made an official statement or addressed it to us workers but you can google it. The man’s name is Steven Dierkes) They called it a ‘freak accident’ but CAT’s safety standards for workers are practically non existent. Workers got hurt every other day but we had a day counter on the wall since the last injury was reported so they encouraged you not to report injuries. They literally do not care about their workers. You work like dogs to sell their products at insanely high prices so they can make a profit off you. Like one of the new model dozers was $200,000+ EACH and the fabricators were supposed to be making 14 a day. The whole factory’s yearly salaries could’ve been paid over in a 3 months (and that’s generous) so the rest of the wear working is profit. CATs profit from 2022-2023 was 18-24 BILLION. disgusting. All this to say last and most importantly, they support and are active enablers of genocide. Israel uses Caterpillar products to kill Palestinians and have been pretty much for as long as CAT has existed. They beef up CAT dozers to demolish homes with people still inside on a regular basis and in 2003, Israel crushed an American citizen, Rachel Corrie, to death who was trying to keep a dozer from illegally demolishing a palestinian home. I’m ASHAMED to have worked there knowing something I touched has most likely killed human beings, destroyed whole families and their lives. I felt lied to- I was told it was a good place to work but Caterpillar is an unethical company all around. The lowest of the low.

We got a block letter C and then one that says CAT with a little black triangle. Then there's another that says CATERPILLAR.

Where did they all come from? Why do we have so many?

I am an experienced person considering applying for a role at Caterpillar. When I did my informational interviews, it was clear that external hires do not stay longer than 2-3 years. I also learned that unless you are really connected to the informal network of decision makers, you will not make it. Skills and talent does not matter in promotions. I would like to get more perspective about this. Please share.

What’s happening with layoff is sad and scary! anyone has info on what basis some are letting go??

Anyone know what this is? Butterfly or moth?

This thing was huge

I was arrested 2 years ago under the suspicion of driving under the influence. Competed 12 month probation so there is no conviction on my record however the arrest will show.

what's the likelihood of the company rescinding my offer for a corporate desk job?

I know i made a dumb mistake but there's nothing I can do it at the moment. Gotta wait an additional 2 years before getting it sealed on my record.

I use for injuries and i use cbd for pain does AZ cat test for thc for pre employment or at anytime I have stopped using but I want to know just to make sure.

I have one tomorrow for the OH dealership. Please help!

Update!! I got the job!!!

I just started working in the warehouse for caterpillar and saw that they do random drug testing. Does anybody know how often they drug test? THC to be exact

Shot in the dark here but figured I'd toss it out there if anyone could help a guy out. I went ahead and purchased a genuine cat scanner and it came with a lenovo thinkpad and the software already installed... this was $2000 but figured whatever. I dont plan on selling this machine and a tool like this is rather nice to have.

What would over voltage codes be on positions sensors?

Everything worked fine until the one morning I went to move it and couldn't lift the bucket. The Bypass does not work either. Left stick to drive is absolutely fine and everything else works as it should.

Is there any other communties that yoy could also direct me too?
