Been at Medtronic 10 yrs and hired as a remote worker. Will they make me start going into the office ? I’ve never went in.

If someone is RIFd from a certain position, how long until that position can be filled again?

I had an excellent year- largest project, ahead on schedule, under on cost. I also had the worst review I've had so far at medtronic- a 3 and 2.5%. It didn't add up. I talked to my peers and everyone got similar. I talked to directors in other... — read more 

How long until RTO is 5 days a week? Are IP addresses really being monitered? Percentage of people in the office for 8 hour days? What will be the penalty for management whose team isn’t abiding by the policy change? GLTA

Did you notice that criticism is only welcome if it’s toothless? If you share any real concerns that need to be addressed you get labeled as "negative." What has this place turned into?

And I hate this place even more. That's all I wanted to share.

I’ll go first. CST was 91%. No modifier for me because my manager said I needed to walk on water to get a rating of 4.

Wow, compared to Brad Lerman, Ivan had a short tenure here. He must of cleaned up all the bribery investigations / the government stop coming after us and we’re on to new issues.

Are we cooked?

I know no one cares about diabetes anymore or ever for that matter but there was a meeting setup for two weeks out. Who has the sauce? I am sure it means layoffs but anyone know specifics?

I’m betting on at least 40% increase in overall compensation. I got 2.5% raise after fabulous year with all the contributions I made. So happy I could contribute to Geoff’s raise he deserves it.

Don’t be innovative or dedicated. Don’t support your team, because there is no such thing here as team effort. Neither individual contributions nor team achievements will be recognized. If anyone gets credit, it will be a manager, the same one who... — read more 

Medtronic is a soul-crushing nightmare. Management is arrogant and disconnected. HR has no humanity, just fake smiles and lies. Ethics? Hidden and ignored. A clique runs everything while the rest of us are treated like garbage. I’m under so much... — read more

I just heard that remote workers in the Twin Cities now have to RTO in September. Does anyone know anything about this?

Medtronic has become a patchwork of acquired businesses, each operating in silos with little to no alignment. There’s no unified approach to quality control, design control, or even basic operational standards and the internal politics are toxic to... — read more 

I’m a long investor and keep hearing that Geoff Martha is making bad decisions and harming the company. It’s difficult to assess from the outside… what are the things he is doing (beyond layoffs) that are causing problems?

The management and leadership team at SMO demonstrate significant shortcomings. Promotions often appear to favor friends and close relatives of the leadership team, raising concerns about fairness and transparency. KPIs are reportedly manipulated to... — read more 

I heard when Diabetes OU field employees give their 2 weeks notice they are let go that day and not paid for the 2 weeks. Can anyone confirm this?

Interested in hearing whether folks will resign in lieu of returning to office? I suspect RTO, in addition to the great collaboration, will be an attrition mechanism. Thoughts?

What’s the point when Monday is just going to bring the same cr-p all over again? It feels like I can’t even enjoy a single day off because all I’m doing is dreading what’s coming next. That’s all that runs through my head lately, and it’s... — read more 

Contingents gone. Production low. (Both shifts) Inventory too much. Too many activities to ki-l time. BBQ + AEM business update, again. Weekend shift over, back to evening shift. 4 days gone back to 5 days. Big building.. empty! The end is near... — read more 

There are currently not enough work stations for all Minnesota hybrid employees to return four days each week. Expect to be crammed into some uncomfortable spaces.

Take control of your life. Worrying won’t change anything. Update your skills, network like crazy, and save aggressively. Medtronic won’t protect you, you should know that by now, only you can do that. The ones who thrive plan ahead, not hope for... — read more 

There going to be layoffs again in diabetes in July?

Have 4 meetings today without rooms setup. In my last one I could hear 3 people in the meeting calling in from their desks which are one row apart. New idea, if we are forced to come in reserving a room is mandatory and there’s attendance sheet... — read more 

Go into the office as little as possible this summer. Enjoy time from home before it’s taken away from you this fall. They can’t punish you yet.

Lately I’ve been struck by how much of our work isn’t guided by what’s right. It’s guided by what’s just barely enough. Processes get rewritten not to improve outcomes, but to meet the lowest regulatory threshold. We chase compliance instead of... — read more 

Anyone know if the MIP is still scheduled for last paycheck of July ? I heard maybe end of June this year.

Figured I would start a new chain, was getting tired of hearing about Memphis
