If we might get laid off why should RTO and Workstyles matter? So let’s stick it to them! Who’s with me?

A monthly reminder that this job is not your identity. It's by no means any measure of your worth in crazy world. There is life outside of Medtronic. Godspeed!

Question - do you know what function is up tomorrow?

If anyone is comfortable sharing.

Once you hit a certain age, they start looking for reasons to push you out. I've seen it happen to three people in my team. They treat older workers like garbage.

Centralized space for updates as they are released this week. Firsthand information only Include OU and location No political content Maintain a respectful and constructive tone - this is stressful for all

Especially the 50+ crowd. Then maybe a few slackers. But management/leadership titles? Absolutely safe.

Remember that it’s nothing personal if they let you go. Medtronic was here before you and it will be here after you, unless we merge with Home Depot to form a freak baby birthed from unchecked capitalism. The point is, the corporate machine doesn’t... — read more 

It’s confirmed. You’ll find out your fate next week. Remote for some and cut the rest that can’t be relocated. What a waste.

That would be insane. Has any new info surfaced? Or will we find out more maybe tomorrow?

Issued with great promise Ten years to acquire great wealth All under water Geoff Martha you loser

Now it's just been a futile, sour, disappointing experience. Many of us are genuinely good at our jobs. Management at every level above us is not. What a waste of talent.

I heard potentially thousands of layoffs.

Hopefully an announcement next week. This is beyond ridiculous. Under qualified and incompetent knucklehead.

The rumor-mill has been surging - lots of people in Santa Rosa and one of the Galway sites (not Parkmore) are having a lot of anxiety. Everyone is talking about it, but no confirmed sources. Speculation is some announcement May 4th-6th.

I ask out of place of genuine curiosity. It seems lots of people on my team are chronically out on leave. It's a revolving door of people getting pregnant, mailing it in 9 months before pregnancy, using your PTO, being out for 6 months on maternity... — read more 

Does this mean I’m not getting let go next week?

It's small, but it's happening.

Heard on the grapevine Hugo is being moved to Parkmore Galway and the other Facility in Galway will be closed. A lot of good people will be on the chopping block. Every year there have been RIF’s but this year will be the big one.

That should be Medtronic's new motto.

It’s gonna be a bloodbath. Diabetes exit means more corp fat to spread into OUs. OUs are gonna get sla-ghtered because GM and his EXCOM cronies protect their own. OP: @ba+1kq2kdgae Rings true to me. If someone knows more, please share.

Prepare yourselves across all functions... "Business Update" meetings will start showing up on Star Wars Day from your leader #Layoffs

Nothng destroys credibility faster than eliminating a role and then reposting it a few months later. With this being said, I am actually glad they cut me as I'd have difficult time staying here

Can anyone locate the results for "When Sr. leaders say something you can believe that it's true"

Martha is playing with Medtronic’s core businesses that have paid the light bill for decades. I believe he is turning MDT into a venture capital fund, selling off BUs because they don’t meet his +50% groth rate just to use the fresh capital for M&A... — read more 

As of today all my stock options going back to 2016 are worthless at an $82 per share price. The lost decade.

Just saw a job posting for the exact position I was let go from a few months ago. Does anyone making these decisions have any shame? Has this happened to anyone else? It's a slap in the face honestly.

I’m getting so little done lol

Is this a sign they're ramping up attrition, or am I just seeing isolated cases?

that the years you spent mapping your career can be taken from you in minutes because a hostile investor decides they’d rather you not have a job so that they can buy a bigger boat? That’s Medtronic in 2026.

Yet there are only five days left. Any ideas? Am I sc--wed? Has anyone hacked into the Workstyle database?

It never stops at one group. Anyone know if more cuts are coming for the rest of us?

Vendors, I recommend preparing your resumes and to start the interview process. The culling has already begun internally, getting announced in the next couple weeks.

What are your thoughts on this ? Odd? Very fitting given the rising impact of AI on employee productivity? Other ?

Does anyone have an update on the Irvine plant in terms of another RIF or the culture of the plant rn?

Has anyone noticed? Q4 results will be released on June 3, not in usual May month. Then next day, there is global townhall as well. Seems dramatic changes are on tbe way.
