Is ops innovation working? Another leftover appendage from Greg Smith

After years of being expected to do more and more with less and less, now I just show up for the money. I stopped caring a while ago. How can a place change so much so quickly? Or am I wearing rose-tinted glasses when it comes to Medtronic of five to... — read more 

I recall someone said it… too bad there’s no way to operate a pool!

I sort of forgot we only get a 3% match and then the cr-ppy additional match based on business results. Most other competitors do better than but we have a 'great comp package.' We struggle to get great talent in the door anymore because even our... — read more 

Mine is the ultimate micromanager, always hovering, always clueless. They prove every day they don't understand our work. But promote someone from the team? Heaven forbid.

That tells you a lot about the 'executive' ability of the lineup that steers this ship.

Long ago MDT was all about patients and customers and everyone lined up to support that. Then they started to get functional leaders who thought their functions were more important than the mission. HR used to be a support function with a... — read more 

I started here not too long ago, and with all the talk about more layoffs, I'm trying to figure out what my situation would be if my name came up. Does anyone know whether people who've been here less than a year typically qualify for severance, or... — read more 

did anyone meet with HR for the talent redeployment to discuss career goals and apply for internal opportunities? What was your experience?

Very odd it’s not in May, think they’re cooking the books with the layoffs to make the numbers look good? New CEO announcement? New RTO policy?

Layoffs like this should get local attention. They’re 100% offshoring all of these jobs, taking away from local communities (looking at you CRM, GOSC)

So we will keep the same OLM/ RLM model or some large scale org change is coming soon? Any insights?

Someone mentioned layoffs in Boston, but there has been no all clear from leadership. Does this mean more Surgical Robotics layoffs are coming in the next few days or weeks?

In the last 5 years, MDT stock is down 44% while the SP500 is up 67%. How much longer for CEO and Chairman Martha? Obviously his DEI strategy hasn’t paid off and neither has anything else. How much longer board?

Not going to lie, I was looking forward to it. I really don’t wanna go to work tomorrow for this company that has no direction or values.

Was anyone given this offer as an alternative to the layoff? If not, why? It seems like that would indicate a performance or other reason than just someone being remote.

Generally, a CEO with sustained poor performance is -on average- let go after ~3 bad years, if not less. That’s been studied pretty extensively across medium-to-large NYSE-listed companies, and the stats are easy enough to find. Yet Goff Murka is... — read more 

And all I can feel is relief. Witnessing the slow, steady decline from the company I joined to what it is today wasn't exactly a pleasant experience for someone who actually liked their job and wanted to be good at it. I wish everyone good luck, and... — read more 

What is the factual info behind the rumor of an August round of layoffs? Is this as a folllow on from investor day / Elliot Management changes?

Hey everyone I want to know which OU and how many layoffs happened that you are aware off. No rumours - just facts. I have been ooo for a fair few months - due to personal circumstances. Any information will help me out

another sign that modern day Medtronic lacks the values of the company founded by Earl is the Medtronic PR spin that layoffs are just “rumors.” To show professionalism toward the possibly thousands of employees who were let go this week, it would go... — read more

Once again, they're going after veterans, experienced folks, quick thinkers, and problem solvers. Exactly the people teams need to function. You could almost believe they don't care about the company's future. And they don't. As long as the top and... — read more

Today I came to a realization that Medtronic has lost its heart that made it what it once was. The mindsets to get ahead now are more in line with wall street (wolf of Wall Street reference) than with a company who gives people a second chance at... — read more 

They will keep all your FHA monies!!! The money you put in and the money they put in will be consumed by MDT after the 60 days. USE IT NOW! I lost 1200 dollars when I got laid off.

Heard Santa Rosa will be closed - 2 year timeline, but they are going to try to shut everything down within a year. Many teams at the site completely laid off. Waiting to see what happens. Grapevine news is that there will be an onsite all-hands... — read more 

Any impact on Global Operations Supply Chain today? If any, location and role? God Bless everyone. Hopefully none.

So far haven’t heard of impact at NV. Could this be because an ongoing audit this week? Is RIF still possible next week?

I was RIFd yesterday, and I see that severance only pays out unused regular PTO, not protected PTO. They really pushed employees to NOT use protected PTO as it is meant for illness and other unintended absence. I had built up quite a bit of it... — read more 

Only Medtronic would do this to women right before Mother's Day.

I'm so sorry for everyone already affected, especially those who badly needed to keep the job.

What's happening with the new CRDN & SH OU (ICT) ? Will there be more layoffs as the functional leaders announce their orgs?

If we might get laid off why should RTO and Workstyles matter? So let’s stick it to them! Who’s with me?

A monthly reminder that this job is not your identity. It's by no means any measure of your worth in crazy world. There is life outside of Medtronic. Godspeed!
