There's been some talk about possible layoffs next month, what are the chances that's true?
Cause for concern?
The entire finance organization is turning over rapidly. Long tenured highly respected team members are leaving for external opportunities.
Worried
Well I called my boss a du----s and now I'm in the hot seat. I'm 58 years old and make a good pay but I get blamed for everything that goes wrong. I don't get any respect. My boss is 20 something years old and she doesn't know sh-t from apple... — 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.
Does anybody have contact info for HR?
I am not employed at this time but need a W2 and can't find a way of contacting them - anybody have an email?
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

Reduction of force.
A reduction of GCS segment being announced right now.
They have no criteria as who to let go and who to keep, ridiculous
It’s happening now in Sep 2019. They let good Associates go during w/o Sep 16 and keeping contractors. They have no criteria as who to let go and who to keep, ridiculous. I Agree with @VoHvxvx-5Pivf on this. Decided to repost this
How does that saying go?
What goes around comes around. Don't like to see anyone lose a job but for some, it's simply a payback for all their good deeds to others.
It's so creepy here - everyone is so afraid of the next round of layoffs
Never used to be like this. I feel like BD loves my work and could care less about me. I accept it. It’s been like this for a few years now since the huge acquisitions started. While BD remains a great place to work, it’s no longer a great place... — read more
