How's the return to office for you all? I have seen more people in my office, but still not full. Some days my office looks like a ghost town. I fear a stronger mandate for RTO will come soon.
Gastro OU
Any idea what the plan is for this OU? They're the last of legacy Covidien MITG OU after PM/RI spin off.
Everyone seems really quiet , Anyone hearing any news for Round 2
Everything and everyone seems quiet right now. When will we find out /about what the cuts done in April accomplished in term of saved numbers and if more are needed? Are there more layoffs expected? Hearing chatters about another round in Santa Rosa... — read more
Received MIP
Just incase you were wondering, I was laid off around April and received my MIP today. So it should show up for most of us. I worked in CRM.
It would be great to know what’s going on all the time
Whether things are going well or not, it would be so much better for all of us if we had transparent senior management who told us in time what was going on. Instead, Medtronic has leaders who keep leaving us in the dark about everything. No wonder... — read more
How is the situation at Medtronic, Hyderabad?
I have been offered at Medtronic, Hyderabad, India with fair salary increase. Is it advised to join? Is Hyderabad center impacted too?
Poll of the week
When will the travel, hiring, and recognize points freeze begin this year...? I'll start it off with September!
At what point....
Does everyone finally throw in the towel that this place is going down the toilet? How long can we miss AOPs for until they give us something achievable so we don't all feel like we want to blow our brains out. I am shocked people aren't leaving in... — read more
Medtronic wants to be a top talent destination with a 2% merit increase
This! So much this! Whoever wrote this got it 100 percent right. You can't expect to attract talent when all you can offer is a measly 2 percent merit increase - if that much! Sometimes I wonder if our leadership is really this stupid or is it that... — read more
I took a look at the 3M Layoff message board
It’s a sh*tstorm over there too! Lawsuits and layoffs, etc. Are there any MN companies with high morale anymore?
How is Medtronic's board allowing this?
By any measure, whether market share, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, financial performance, or shareholder returns, Geoff and his leadership team have failed miserably. Geoff owns this mess, and he can't continue to blame COVID, higher... — read more
The irony of the performance review
Before, when I used to try much harder, my performance was rated much worse than it is now, when I don't put in nearly as much effort. Anyone else experienced such irony?
If we resigned in May, do we still get SIP?
If we resigned after the end of the FY, do we still receive a bonus from the “special incentive pool” like we would have if it was a regular MIP?
Two Weeks after Termination date and still have not received the Separation Agreement
Thank you to MDT for not being timely in providing the separation agreement and subsidized COBRA money. Treating people with "respect" after being laid off has been a catch phrase for Geoff, yet a lot of us still haven't gotten the "package". My... — read more
Most of us need to move on
I think it's time most of us accept the fact that this is not the same company it once was and that it's time to leave Medtronic. At least that's what I keep telling myself. I can no longer find one good reason for me to continue my career here. If... — read more
Promotion?
Regarding performance reviews + promotions, how much is a typical promotion bump percentage (ex: senior to principle)? I heard 10%, but not sure if that’s accurate. Does that include the merit?
Is it really that easy to do?
Take the money and run. The grass is greener on the other side. You will be respected, paid fairly, rewarded for your ideas and expertise, treated fairly with realistic goals and help to get there. It’s out there folks you just have to take that... — read more
Performance review
Has anyone had their performance review? Because it seems everyone I know hasn't. My manager has not even scheduled mine.
Job offer
I received a Pr. Engineer offer from Medtronic but am hesitant after reading this board. Im a S. Engineer currently with 7yrs experience. The salary offered is a small increase, but it sounds like my 401k match and paid holidays will decrease. ... — read more
Best AI Tools for the Job Search
As with a number of other people on here, I am looking to leave Medtronic. The company's direction over the last few years has me feeling like it is no longer what I signed up for. Has anyone tried any AI tools to help with resume writing and the job... — read more
We're all one family
I believe managers when they say we're all one big family at Medtronic. A dysfunctional, lying, hating, unfaithful family, but a family non the less. A family where everybody hates each other and looks for ways to stab each other in the back. But... — read more
Damn hearing MIP is really low this yeat
Hearing CVG MIP is only 45% this year? Is it true? Is it the same for global functions too? Makes you wonder they reduced it on purpose so they don’t have to pay up more money to people who were let go
How many applying for other jobs?
It would be very interesting to see how many current employees have applications out to other companies. I know of at least 6-10 people looking elsewhere.
Since MIP payout is technically 0 and the money is designated differently, does that mean those let go won’t receive it?
I’m still here. Wondering for my fallen comrades.
VERP – MCC Enhancement Contribution?
Did anyone receive any MCC Enhancement Contribution? The VERP statement says "Your Enhancement Contribution will be posted in late June with your FY23 MCC contribution". I see FY23 MCC contribution posted on 401K account on June 22 but no... — read more
Just got the docusign document.
Good luck.
Performance reviews being this week
Maybe we find out what our piece of the fund and raise will be, this is only hear say I have not gotten a invite from me Manager. Anyone else hear any thing about this topic?
New member in board of directors
News from GM… A new friend of Q (Diabetes) - bully joins MDT coming from Honeywell… (rolling eyes) Greg Lewis - to help us with our Finance- which is a total mess!
A major rehaul is needed
Medtronic should stop hiring MBAs with fancy finance degrees to run the company. It doesn't matter how smart they might be; you need to have innovative people who can produce innovative products from within. That had been the key to the company's... — read more
Obtain Final Paystub?
I was let go last month and it’s been impossible trying to obtain my last paystub. I was in the middle my pay cycle when i got the notice. It’s been impossible to access WorkDay since my login is blocked and HR has not been responsive. Has anyone... — read more
Still waiting
Termination date yesterday and in the “up to two week waiting period” for the release and severance. Wtf is this so hard? Give us the paperwork to get our checks
Dividend Raised but no additional 401 (k) match?
Thanks Geoff for putting freezes all year long just to gather enough money to raise dividends, while failing on every another front. Is Geoff getting another 28% raise in July for this performance? Why is the board of directors asleep for these... — read more
Another reorg for Operations?
What is change fatigue? Global Operations is readying for fourth reorg in 2 years. Does anyone know more on this?
Will there be MCC contribution to 401(k) this year?
Are we getting any additional 401(k) match this year? Usually every year they announce it way earlier Thanks Geoff for being a huge disaster.
Some of you confuse me
Why would you expect the company to care about you or to respect you? You are nothing but a number. The company is and has always been in it for itself. The management as well. I wonder where some of you get your ideas that this is a "family" or... — read more
Salary Bands US Positions
Take a gander at us jobs posted on our external website.... Looks like salary Bands are posted for essentially all of them
Unrealistic demands
If I want to save my mental health, I need to leave as soon as possible. The only thing even more difficult to deal with than all those unrealistic demands is when the manager tries to convince us that they are not unrealistic at all.
What's with the random aftermarket spike?
Is Geoff finally getting fired?? https://www.google.com/finance/quote/MDT:NYSE?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjZ1MPr377_AhUhpIkEHWe_AQ0Q3ecFegQIKxAZ
All the differences
I plan to leave soon. I can't wait for my last day here because almost nothing here is like it used to be back in a day when I was proud to work here. What changes bother you the most from the time when you first came here until today?
