@f4 They typically only say “your position was impacted as a result X change/decision.” They won’t tell you if its based on RTO

Did MDT use the RTO or Insight rating in the decisions? I'm sure Remote users were impacted as its the new normal in MDT when cherry picking RIF's
I was laid off today in surgical, no warnings, and their decision was final. Severance is 2 weeks per year payable sometime in December.
@ey Standard severance is two weeks pay for every year of service. Will be interested in hearing what is actually offered.
What is the severance package?
@ev they give 60 days “garden leave” aka you’re not working but but they pay you for 60 days so they can avoid the WARN until last minute. Warm will probably be published this week though
Constant layoffs are the new normal at Medtronic. A new group is impacted every month.
To those wondering if it’s just Hugo – NOTHING under RST is safe. Layoffs happened in SW, HW, Management, PMO, Systems; everyone.
Does anyone have any figures? I’m confused how there wasn’t a WARN notice? Original estimation I was told was 100 in Boston and 50 in NoHa, but today was told 80+ in NoHa (no final estimate for Boston)
What is the package you all have received?
Also Sorry to hear but maybe it's for the better considering everything.
@ef I am in embedded software team for Hugo
@e9 are you in the surgical mechanical engineer group? or what group?
@ds you will be. This isn’t a good place to work anymore. It’s toxic to the core.
@OP I got into meeting room with business update, and several managers and several senior principal eng, principal eng, we are all gone, no matter your title and competence.
I found out the news by logging into my regular 1:1 to see HR also on the call. They don’t even bother to give me the advance warning of a “business update.” Glad to know what years of service at the company is worth to them!
Is this all Hugo?
what functions are impacted? Is NPD Quality or RPE quality impacted? or is just robotics?
All the best to those impacted (myself included). I’m confident we’ll all be better off on the other side.
Invites going out to mechanical R&D in Boston.
Has anyone in North Haven received invites yet?
@bk clinical
@av what function in surgical mounds view?
Got a “Business Update” meeting request from Surgical Quality leadership. Guess they’ll have to solve their own quality problems going forward. That is if they care about product quality and putting the patient first.
I am mounds view based surgical. Got invite for tomorrow morning for “business update”… thanks guys for the heads up on here, helped ease the shock of getting the news
Just got the “Business Update” meeting invite for tomorrow from our VP Surgical Quality
It’s huge. Dropped the ball big time. Medtech no longer safe
OMG ... going to be a long sad day in North Haven and Boston.
Best of luck to my co-workers including myself if impacted ....
