Glad to see BD has finally allowed an employee stock purchase program. I was a J&J employee for about 10 years and purchased stock. It was a nice incentive. Held it for years and made a nice profit rolling dividend long after I left. With the... — read more 

Denise, I hope you're listening and reading the feedback from sites like TheLayoff. It should come as no surprise that BD employees are fed up with the non-sense and your incoherent babbling in the townhalls acting like you understand anything that's... — read more 

I’m tired of it and I’m not alone. The dysfunction across the company has become pervasive. It’s especially pronounced in TGS and IT, largely due to heavy reliance on outsourcing in critical areas. But the issue isn’t isolated. Any function that has... — read more 

Best news of the year .. people officer is leaving not sure what her purpose was at bd other than fly and travel all over the world posing for pics and cutting ribbons and handing out lame awards must be nice. This woman was a nobody in Sumter plant... — read more

The stock price has dropped and not rebounded in spite of some decent earnings a new CFO being announced. Is this intentional? Drive interest in selling off parts of BD, Or does this signal a lack of confidence in BD leadership to force change at the... — read more 

Thoughts on Six Sigma. General thinking???

BD laid off a bunch on Friday before Mother’s Day. Not sure how many but it has been pretty constant for the year that groups get let go, many of them have been there a long time. You are invited to apply for other jobs within BD. Bleh.

Anyone hear of eliminations? Heard of people being let go today Friday May 1…..

Toxic culture lies at the root of the challenges BD is facing today. How did it begin? It started with bias in hiring. Individuals with limited capability were brought in and eventually promoted into leadership roles. These 'leaders' have created an... — read more 

Anyone else feel like they're being set up to be laid off, or did anyone feel that way before they were laid off? Feels like I'm living in an alternate universe with my manager, reality is being revised to reflect negatively on me. For example, a... — read more 

BD Mebane has a very bad track record of hiring friends of HR and upper management along with management that can’t make decisions and push the blame on lower employees

When will the people here be held responsible for all of the bad decisions they make. How can a company of this size act this tjis

BD got another new platform to waste money on. Hope, TGS id--ts will be kept out of it if we are serious about any meaningful value from that investment.

Has anyone noticed that this business excellence BS is just another flavor of the month initiative that literally teaches us nothing new. Old concepts that have been around for an eternity such as DMAIC , 5whys, 6 sigma concepts wrapped with a... — read more 

In my opinion, VoA is a circus. If BD really wanted honest feedback, this platform has more than what needed for diagnosis of the issues. Do you expect anything to change with that survey or is it just to warm some “leader’s” pocket?

TGS leaders sing songs about the need to to drive technology in support of the business but in reality all that they do is working in their individual interest and making sure they milk the company as much as they can. All of this is just empty words... — read more 

I'm lost. BD is lost. Can someone tell me what's really going on here?! This is the worst I've seen it since I started 16 years ago. There is no one steering the ship anymore. If there's still a captain, no one's listening to them. The norm is... — read more 

Read the email about retirement changes. Sc--wing us again. This company su-ks. And the VOA survey won’t show happy employees. Another joke and complete waste of money

In your view, what's the purpose of technology @ BD? It's a rhetorical question.

if you look at tgs, all sr dirs and vps are stuck in late 90s or early 2000s. our chances of building a modern and prosperous it org are zero unless we have new folks in these positions. that will never happen, so rest assured, things will continue... — read more 

Consider starting with voluntary early retirement packages for long-tenured employees whose roles have shifted primarily toward coordination rather than direct output. Reduce organizational layers, as there is an excessive number of VP and director... — read more 

Any updates on BDTI, Corp R&D group and CPDT? Layoff plans or reorgs? I am seeing a lot of closed doors nowadays, it's never a good sign.

I do not think we need to discuss this ad nauseam. The reality is that kickbacks are happening. If you have been here long enough, you know which directors insist on using specific vendors for almost everything, regardless of whether those vendors... — read more 

This place is a joke, plain and simple. The company is run just like the American Government. Mismanaged, wasteful, overpaid leadership and top-heavy org chart, excessively outsourced, process bloated, disorganized, inefficient, zero trust, poor... — read more 

This is a serious question. I would like to leave but with severance. Is there any way to get myself on the next list?

I’ve worked at BD across several divisions for many years and have always taken pride in delivering strong results and supporting my customers. Recently, however, the environment has changed significantly. Many team members are new, training has been... — read more
