We're hoping to let our readers know about changes at Medtronic before they're announced (if they ever are). We've reported on the VERP and surgical OU consolidation.
If you know more and want to talk on or off the record, please get in touch with Chris Newmarker or Jim Hammerand by phone or email here: https://marketing.wtwhmedia.com/company-directory/
Everyone is saying Monday, April 17th is "the day" at Mounds View, anyway.
This was part of a planned shutdown of the Sunnyvale office as production has been transferred. Not new news for those that worked there....or it shouldn't have been new news.
Good luck to all - and if anyone is looking for somewhere to land after the dust settles, don't hesitate to reach out. We're all about helping passionate people stay in medtech if we can be of assistance. And our DeviceTalks conferences in Boston and Santa Clara are great for networking with engineers and execs at major OEMs, fast-growing startups and suppliers/vendors (first round's on me if we meet up): https://www.devicetalks.com/
Thanks Chris and Jim. I think the rumors are flying about next week being bigger layoffs and restructuring. Likely on April 17.
