Hearing about so many layoff, yet the people who put us in this situation are still around. Unless we remove those bad apples, how could someone change the company?

I was laid off a recently despite many years of service. I know of one other co-worker, also long term employee, that was laid off the same day, but there may have been more. We have been instructed not to talk to our co-workers. There are lay... — read more 

All still quiet where I’m at.

If more layoffs are supposed to happen this week, then I'm assuming it's going to start today? Tuesday through Thursday are usually layoff days, for whatever reason.

I’m on my second company and third layoff since 2023, and at this point I’ve stopped pretending to be shocked. Every new job swears it’s different, then the same script plays out months later. This just goes to show that the grass is not all that... — read more 

I spent the weekend looking over our finances, trying to figure out what we’d do if I’m affected. I’m the sole breadwinner in my family, and that’s never sounded as scary as it does now. My wife used to work as a teacher, and she could probably find... — read more 

Please someone share what kind of severance is being offered. This time, a$$hole leadership is not even showing any humanity, just to make sure their a$$ is not targeted. What a bunch of shameless folks! If you love your friend and family, never... — read more 

Are layoffs going to continue? So many folks were let go, and yet no official communication whatsoever.

It’s been a literal bloodbath, with little to no official information, and people are reporting layoffs basically everywhere. The US seems to have been hit especially hard. This tells me we’ve been in worse shape than anyone thought, and that this... — read more 

Can somebody PLEASE state if they've started notifying people already or if the layoffs will start sometime next week or at some other point in the future? The lack of available information is stressing me out, to put it mildly.

Any details on what happened today?

Seriously, how bad were things???

That’s insane if true. Can anyone confirm or share details? This is beyond alarming. Good luck to all of us.

14K (20% of the corporation) laid off today or the coming days. All segments, all areas of work.

Which teams were affected?

Many bloated positions in BD Parata RxAuto team so when is the RIF coming? VP and Director and Senior Director levels seem to still not understand the business. No strategy, no progress since Parata acquisition. Way to ruin what Parata had going.

What is up with this next shift in culture? Lot of kaizen and continuous improvement talk within all processes including new product development and commercial. I also see it as a trend across the industry. Who is popularizing this trend in MedTech?... — read more 

Title.

Have heard about a major shake-up underway. Seems that Pharm Systems is deep in restructuring mode, and it's not just quiet layoffs. Multiple high-level VPs and Directors have jumped ship in recent weeks [and still ongoing] leaving teams in... — read more 

It is official now Waters merging BD LS (diagnostics + biosciences). Is this a good thing for BD Life Sciences employees? Now we will have less money than when we were part of Medtech BD

Now that Tom and his cronies have destroyed BD, how long after the sale to Waters do you think it will be before he announces the sale of BD?

That's BD for you. If your IQ is over 90, do yourself a favor and steer clear of this company. The people here will drag you down to their level and outdo you with their ignorance.

Lots of more insanity at DS today. Just when you thought micromanaging, brow beating, and over-riding wasnt possible just look out DS as the engines have reved up and there will be a drive to the finish like never seen before. Get some sleep and... — read more 

If I understood correctly Tom said only a sale or reverse morris trust was on the table for the separation of BD Life Sciences? I am with BD Biosciences and it seems like this BU is certainly headed for a sale. Let me know what you all think, the... — read more 

If you have any info, please share. There are a lot of rumors and very little reliable information.

Service and support departments use to be ran by people who promoted up in the ranks and learned from their predecessors. Service and support departments were not treated as profit centers, and there is a good reason for that. (will skip those... — read more 

Heard large layoff coming including top 'leadership', anyone got any confirmation?

Kick the Pol(l)en out, else company will have allergic reactions. Someone spent huge money in BD 2025 program with the promise of driving revenue and shareholder value and delivered negative 30 % growth, should be an easy choice for kicking out. It... — read more 

Does anyone have any insight or updates on the Life Sciences separation? As a field-based employee not located at the Milpitas site, I’m a bit out of the loop when it comes to internal chatter. We’re already in mid-May, and I’m surprised there... — read more 

This company is plagued by so-called leaders who are inherently incompetent. Unless the CEO and CIO are shown the door and corruption at every level is rooted out, this company has no future. Some people think that just by calling a team meeting... — read more 

You don't lead you bull, you talk bad of and never do anything to help, you steer it off the road but yet blame other, you promote your own clowns up and keep the goods ones down low, you make yourself Senior Representatives but yet no one at the... — read more 

Bought the dip, anyone else buy the BDX stock drop today? Back to where it was 10 years ago so surely the incompetent leadership won't cause it to drop more. Right? Riiiight?? Gulp

How is the entire C-suite not fired? What has to happen to get them out?

Sudden call for noon with the President and new DS VP. Call is only scheduled for 15 minutes and says it's for an "organizational update". Two HR reps on the call. Is it what we think it is?

Nice to see another tu-d from Bard. Dragging down the BD name with 10 serious reported injuries reported so far. A winner of an acquisition, Tom.

This company is headed downhill, and it feels like large-scale layoffs are just around the corner due to poor leadership. In my year here, I haven’t encountered a single leader who truly thinks things through or speaks up. There are some talented... — read more
