This platform was very useful for sharing information we are not able to otherwise learn but now it is turning into a negativity slugfest. I get disappointment as I am disappointed as well but pls have some awareness of others who use this... — read more 

This company does not deserve your talents. Leave now and let the woke cult drive it into the ground.

In case you get locked out would be good idea to save your personal info you need to keep off of your PC.

Invites for meetings for those impacted will go out this evening and tomorrow evening for anyone they could not meet with tomorrow. This is for US only, not sure about other regions.

Then we’ll see what follows.

I am fortunate that I found a job and left Medtronic. I was sad to be leaving so many great people. I feel bad for the people that are let go and I feel bad for the people that are left. Different situations for both, but for the people that are let... — read more 

I say we grind it to a halt until resolution takes place. I’m done going above and beyond while management plays this game. Don’t forget without people manning the oars and boat cannot move forward.

The rumors of the 17th being the layoff day appears to be wrong. We live to fight another day!

FDA will be on-site at Rice Creek while layoffs are supposed to happen (per rumors) this week. Radio silence about layoffs thus far today. At this point I hope FDA drop the hammer so the clowns running the show can chase their tails around. Total... — read more

All, Please relax this weekend, the wheels are in monition, its not personnel . Just head cut and numbers. Not much we can do about it but pray.

Our senior leader was informed today is their last day. More to come next week. Management knows nothing and has been given no talking points to coach their team members. God with us.

Anyone hearing anything about combining facilities as part of this cost reduction? It could make sense to combine the smaller non-production facilities with Mounds View or RC.

It's just what you do Don't mistake the irony of calling it a "living" Stay or go next week, you are more valuable than a large publibly traded company. Your life has greater purpose than an 8-5 at Medtronic and getting the stock price up for... — read more 

What’s next? Bring your own toilet papers to work? Thanks Geoff, Greg and other clowns for the fantastic three years. Great job in destroying morales

Is there a way to know when layoffs will continue? Is there anybody who is in the know who could give us at least a hint on what to expect?

If an employee delivers poor performance, they are put on a PIP and let go. Our competitors faced the same challenges as we did in the past years, however, they are doing better than us. Ain't this enough proof of poor ExCom performance? With the... — read more

How much notice does a supervisor get if they are laying off an employee? Is it the supervisor or HR that does the laying off?
