Thread regarding Medtronic Inc. layoffs

What is project pivot?

I've heard that phrase thrown around a few times but there hasn't been any announcements on it through official channels. Is it a subset to the "roadmap to extraordinary" program that they're using to justify layoffs?

@1nlp+1meL3jZm we all should have seen the writing on the wall when all the people involved with the failure of GE mass migrated to Medtronic. Working at GE during that time period should put you on a blacklist for employment.

A pivot generally involves a change in strategic direction and inevitably involves RIFs and "restructuring"
