April 2023 layoffs? Any chatter?

It's got to continue and there are definitely lots of management layers that could go. Sr leaders with 1 direct report or no direct reports! Too many layers for sure.

Layoffs today in HR/talent acquisition

I’m seeing several layoffs on talent acquisition/recruiters at BD today. They were told today but I’m not sure how many were affected. Does anyone know of other areas being affected?

I'm tired of all reorganizations

Both on the company level and those below. I'm not sure how many changes, adjustments, and whatnot my group had in the past five years, but it was more than enough. Funnily enough, the more things supposedly change, the more they stay the same. I... — read more

Terrible non-transparency

My anxiety is only intensified by the huge non-transparency here. There are rumors that layoffs are already happening, but I don't know which business units are affected, nor what is the scope of these layoffs. If anyone has more insights, please... — read more

Attrition is getting worse and worse

Not that I blame those who're leaving, considering how much things have changed in the last couple of years. Employees used to be appreciated, now we're nothing but a number to them. It doesn't matter how long you've been here, if they think you cost... — read more

Where has innovation gone?

No innovation means there is no bright future here. Why is the company failing when it comes to innovation, I don't quite understand? Is it not important to them? Is innovation too much of a risk for them? I don't know, I just know that the situation... — read more

So many issues at BD currently

There are so many issues I see at the moment with BD. High churn rate at the very top and bottom is one. This is worrisome as the big decisions and real work get carried out at these levels, many Mid level managers I deal with are incompetent but... — read more 

Is long term career a thing of the past?

It seems to me that having a long term career at BD is no longer a realistic option. These days there are too many layoffs and too few promotions that are not based on nepotism. Employees are certainly noticing - our team's attrition rate has been... — read more 

Calm before the storm?

Although I’m safe for now, the atmosphere is quite tense and that’s why I’m constantly looking for new rumors or indications that there will be layoffs soon.

This needs to change

This place is filled with lousy managers who hide their incompetence by intimidating everybody around them. They have no experience and have no idea what they're doing, so the only thing they can do is yell and threaten those of us who are actually... — read more

This is k--ling my productivity

With layoffs now a constant at BD, I notice that my productivity has gone down drastically. My motivation to give it my all is gone. Why would I bother when chances are that if I'm not laid off in the next round, there's always another one and then... — read more

Layoffs in IT

Seems like 60-70 positions got eliminated in the US yesterday; about 10 more around the world. They're blaming COVID, but a lot of this seems to be that they surprised themselves with their own re-org. Back in March they said they were going to... — read more
