Thread regarding Medtronic Inc. layoffs

Tired of Bean Counters being Medtronic CEOs

I have been with Medtronic over 30 years and have seen pi-s poor management when the CEO is a bean counter. Art Collins did nothing. Geoff GE boy wonder another bean counter with business degree and knows nothing.

The bean counter types always fall into the traps of short term cost cutting and reorgs strategies. Both of which are short sighted and bullsh-t. They are NOT innovator types NOR visionaries who can really move the needle. They should only be allowed to manage companies that make $1 plastic widgets out of China.

I worked at mdt during the collins, hawkins and ishrak years…martha was “groomed” by omar to be ceo.
None of them added any value to MDT.
@30yearemployee- when they removed the rising man from everything- MDT lost its soul.

İ agree! Those with a speciality in Marketing are the worst. They not only care about how many beans, but which color they are. They spend company resources on meaningless activities that does not improve the products for our clinicians and their patients.
