RIFS and position terminations occurred across all teams except for director level/above, of course. Leadership is an absolute joke and our customers openly question MDT leadership judgement. The unethical behavior and HORRIBLE business strategy will... — read more

Wow, found out today the new Pelvic Health OU President hire is Emily Elswick, complements from Mr Wall himself. Nothing against Her, but how does someone with a Journalism degree understand how to run an implantable device business??? Maybe a... — read more 

Now that more of the dead weight is gone I’m hoping our MIP will be >100% for FY24?!? Fingers crossed y’all!! Happy for everyone who is still here.

It’s convenient to blame leadership but the truth is Medtronic is broken from top to bottom. From bad forecasting, terrible pricing practices, arrogant sales people, broken R&D pipelines, unprecedented quality issues…everyone owns the anemic growth... — read more 

Leadership has been very shy about disclosing this number, so I think it would be good to get a count for transparency and accountability sake.

I remember when they gave out individual bonuses based on performance. High performers who really moved the needle for the company got large bonuses. Since then they socialized it where everyone at defined levels gets the same amount. This was the... — read more 

I work in R&D and have seen ballooning Operations Innovation budgets such that they can’t find enough projects to spend it on. This has resulted in severe cuts to R&D project dollars, especially for the mature OUs with what Geoff would call poor... — read more 

The shareholder dividend is a waste of money and will be the company's downfall if it is not cut massively.

You can't constantly be having layoffs and consider yourself a good leader. That's not how it works. Layoffs are the best sign of truly awful leadership that had to resort to the easiest way of cutting costs because they didn't know how else to... — read more 

Do we know if there'll be more layoffs tomorrow?

If you are going to post about being laid off or know someone who is being laid off please provide some kind of details. Just saying, "happened to me today" only leads to more uncertainty than at least saying your OU or your function or your site... — read more 

After almost 5 years at Medtronic I was blind sided by being laid off with reduction in work force. I feel bad for my team mates that are left behind. I know how much work is there and they will fall behind. Too bad the CEO can’t get his cr-p... — read more 

My department is in CRM. We just found out that we lost 5 people. These people were in leadership positions - two directors, two people managers, and a compliance person.

Got laid off this morning from the Mounds View, MN office. Thanks for the paid vacay Geoff.

I was just RIFed after dedicated my life here for 6 years. It was a good run. Good luck to the rest of you all!

Time to pump the brakes. I’m not staying late or working weekends. I’m going to start dragging my feet and if they want me gone they are going to pay me my severance. They can try their best to make staying painful, but they just declared war with... — read more

Anyone heard anything about MIP payout? Doesn’t sound like anyone is starting at 100%, you have to “earn” it. Keep your head up, next year has to be better right???

Are the layoffs happening Tuesday?

But more realistically, when will this ship finally sink under Captain GE-off?
