I'm always worried about going back to work on Monday. Always wonder if this is the RIF week. I can't be the only person feeling this way. Comments
Re-orgs are easy, innovation is hard
Well, here we go again. We are going to start a new narrative cycle with the street based on a magical restructure. Excom is counting on this holding up the stock and holding up hope for improved performance - "we just need to make these changes... — read more
Take care of yourself during these difficult times
The next month will bring a lot of restructuring and layoffs. It is a harsh reminder that none of us are indispensable in the corporate machine. Remember that this job is not your identity or your measure of worth in this world. Best of luck to all... — read more
hearing rumors of the RTO policy being used to identify who to layoff
Manager warned us in a team meeting that execs are taking RTO extremely seriously, and implied they’re looking for people to layoff because of it
What seven months looked like
I started counting when I got laid off. Two hundred twenty four applications. That's about eight a week. Eleven of those turned into actual calls with recruiters. Twenty eight interviews total across phone screens, hiring managers, panels. Four times... — read more
Robotics Spinoff
Rumors swirling robotics will be spun out for IPO or private equity.
Layoffs In MA - Cardiac
Group RIF'd today. 8-12 people over 3 shifts.
I heard the Santa Rosa office is closing
Sounds like years in the making. What does this mean in terms of greater company structure? Spinoff? Reorg? More jobs offshored?
GO&SC Resuscitation and Layoffs
This org structure and function is not sustainable. Layoffs inboard.
Word on the street: More layoffs
Something about HeADWinDs
CRM PCS Incoming Layoffs
Heard from upper management that vendors being laid off come FY27. Furthers the agenda of PCS in Galway Ireland.
Surgical strategic imperatives
All hands on May 20. What will we learn?
Geoff Martha -> biggest loser
How did we get to this point where corporate America is a country club where we will never obtain membership. Years ago Medtronic was great place to work until the outsiders wrecked it with their paper MBAs. Everyone I know is a clock puncher now... — read more
News about upcoming layoff
Word is that anyone who is non-compliant with this quarter's RTO workstyle insights will be layed off. Only recourse is an ex-com stay. Time to start badging in or get your sad story ready and hope for the best.
Major Announcement Today
Adios Geoff! Reveal of new org structure.
MIP
Anyone else hearing the MIP is targeted to be 100% of payout? I'm excited !
Managed decline
That's the overall impression I have. When was the last time leadership came up with a strategic innovation and growth plan that actually makes sense? One we could get behind and invest ourselves in, because it would be in our own interest too? I... — read more
Let me just confirm this
No layoffs before May? Is that correct?
Geoff Martha is playing Elliott Management
So, EM became a major shareholder of MDT and I would have bet the farm that GM had initially had discussions to come in to help with his agenda. Everything GM is doing now is exactly what EM would want anyways. But, the MDT position will be the worst... — read more
I left MDT and they called me to come back.
I left 3 years ago, and man, I loved it at MDT. I had a great boss, great work, and just the best work friends ever. I was happy with my salary and benefits, too. I learned a lot and became a great professional largely because of my time there. They... — read more
Hollowed-Out Tree
Geoff transformed a strong healthy Oak into a decaying hollowed-out tree. TIMBER!!!
Minimed debut is very poor.
Are there layoff expected in Minimed to return to profitability, to boost share prices? Any thoughts
Here’s the deal with RTO
If leadership insists that work is most productive within office walls, I’m happy to lean into that philosophy. Moving forward, my office hours are my only hours. The 'after-hours' emails and evening catch-up sessions from the couch are over. If the... — read more
Management does nothing
The top people here don't actually do anything. They just collect checks while toxic behavior runs wild. It's changing everyone. You watch people turn into versions of themselves you don't even recognize. It's honestly frightening.
Gas Prices and RTO
With the average cost of gas is $3.32/gal , and no end in sight with the war with Iran, will the RTO be loosen especially when gas prices continue to skyrocket the longer we stay in the war? We’ll soon be losing money just to go into the office to... — read more
Fantastic Debut, Minimed
Priced below the proposed offering, ended the delay below the IPO price, and took Medtronic down almost the full value of the spinoff. Man Geoff, Que and the whole gang are hitting on all cylinders. This is the flywheel of innovation at work i... — read more
Medtronic stopped hiring people on visas below principal level
Looks like HR added this statement to all jobs online, Good luck to all U.S. Work Authorization & Sponsorship At Medtronic, we are committed to fostering an environment where employees can thrive and make a meaningful impact. In alignment with... — read more
There are jobs if you're flexible
Once I stopped obsessing over the highest possible pay, I found tons of opportunities. I want a place with actual culture and job security, all things Medtronic lacks. Less money, sure, but 15 percent less is worth it for my sanity. Interviews are... — read more
Layoffs the first week in May
My source is never wrong. And feels like this year will be big. That second part is an opinion.
CST is going private equity soon
I talked with a friend in private equity (He works at Blackwell) and he says that CST will soon be spun off to private equity. So just like Diabetes, folks that work at CST - you can expect to soon work for a spin off. Also FWIW, the company name... — read more
Regarding Layoff, at least
Regarding layoffs, at least Jack Dorsey (CEO of Square, CashApp, Tidal) is being transparent, while Medtronic is not: “we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to... — read more
Neuroscience decline
With majority of business units doing well, Neuroscience business got called out by Geoff multiple times on investor call and town halls. Not surprising knowing all the continued issues with supply and illogical heavy investments in large capital... — read more
April 7th, 2026 - Q4 Layoffs
The next round of layoffs is expected on April 7th, 2026. WARN letter in California states it will happen this day for Minimed folks. The rest of us are on notice. Expect layoffs every quarter folks. Are you on the bottom of the totem pole?
OHS is live online
PSA ... if your manager is a good guy/gal Try not to sc--w them with poor scores ! Save them for Excom members !
10+ hour days and it's still not enough to get through the workload
Management talks to us like we're machines, not people. The pay doesn't come close to matching what peers make elsewhere. Add in the constant pressure and zero respect, and it's getting harder to remember why I stay. The only thing keeping me going... — read more

Medtronic reports strong third quarter fiscal 2026 results with highest enterprise revenue growth in 10 quarters
Congrats to all. Looks like layoffs postponed for now.
Busy work with no value
Anyone else here feel like their manager is constantly throwing work your way just to seem busy so the manager can appear like they had accomplished a lot of goals for the quarter??
Stepford Employees
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like we now work in an alternate universe? It’s like a new operating manual has gone out to a select few as to how we all should behave and function in our roles and interact with others and none of it makes any... — read more
Do you think things will improve before next year?
Or is it already too late for that?
