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?
Fresh start
It was hard leaving Medtronic mainly because of the pay. Then I decided that my salary would not play a part in my job search. It was not an easy decision, but once I made it, it felt like a huge weight has been lifted off my chest. It didn't take me... — read more
Any word on the MIP % this year
Summer vacation is here. Need to start planning where to spend my share of the MIP Thanks !
Bitter Management?
I was with MDT for six years and left the company last month for a better-paying job (surprise). Even after having the same manager for the last three years, I thought it was pretty standard for my manager to send out an official notice/email but my... — read more
Keep learning
I don't think I'll be able to find something better unless I upgrade my skillset. However, it's a challenge while I'm working here because I'm overwhelmed with the work that needs to be done. What's your strategy for growing your skillset, how do... — read more
How did this place become such a mess?
It used to be very nice to work here. It's still hard for me to believe that it's become this bad.
Fortune 500 company
Listened to a Garage Logic podcast that had a Senator they were interviewing. He said this year we will all have our jaws drop when a Fortune 500 company makes a huge change/announcement. Think it could be Medtronic?
Why is Geoff such a smug and a d***** bag?
Did anybody else notice how Geoff openly insulted and made fun of GI president Napoli saying something along the lines that “ I can’t even understand half the time what he is saying “ when he was mentioning about Nvidia partnership? I would be mad... — read more
Mozarc…. What benefit to MDT shareholders?
Does anyone know the benefit received by MDT shareholders is from the Renal Care business divestiture (aka NewCo, with Davita)? KP confirmed Mozarc will not affect MDT income statement & balance sheet. We didn’t get a payment for the business... — read more
