Layoffs will be every quarter now. Had meetings today asking us to divest suppliers, slowly selling us for parts. All these executives who stayed for 1-2 years destroyed business units and jumped ship before anyone caught on to their fraud. Anyone... — read more 

To those who have been RIF'd, I'm sorry. I hope that you find something better. Does anyone else experience the guilt when you are left when other are cut??

I havent heard anything happening in Ireland, any news? I see lots of OU's been hit today. Scary times ahead.

My small team hasn't been hit yet. I'm a bit in the dark. But I'm seeing a lot of orgs getting hit, both here and overseas. I'm really sorry, everyone. It feels like we're in for some bad times. I wish the best of luck to those already let go.

Confirmed some at rice creek today.

They probably argue that it is somehow a trade secret or otherwise. Let's see how long it lasts here, censored. 1) Cryocath in Montreal will close and has been a sh-tshow of a project for over 6 years now. Production moves to a PR site that I won't... — read more 

Any news?

The shock from management when I resigned last week was perfect. They're so used to people enduring poor treatment. Leaving on my own terms was such a great moment.

Did they announce a VERP this year? I know they did it in 2023 (I accepted), and it also happened in 2020 - pretty quietly with COVID going on... seems to happen every 3 - 4 years.

I know the bar is low but I’m still a little surprised no comments from leadership on what is happening in the Twin Cities community. Fu-k this place.

Anyone else having problems accessing the new prescription benefit, Rightway? Account has been deactivated. I called Rightway and was told their not sure why it's either an error, employee not eligible, or termination. This benefit just started... — read more 

Hi folks, Is there any news if EurAsia structure will continue? Any news on OLM and RLM structure? Recently lot of Eur-Asia LT changes.

HR over multiple sites on call today and apparently there is a memo doing the rounds to management too. I am hearing something big coming in 2026

The leadership at Medtronic is known for two things: lining their own pockets and laying people off. That's it. No strategy, no nothing. Just those two things. Which is why we're so sc--wed.

My hopes and dreams of waking up to the news that GM has been fired are dwindling. I’m starting to realize that GM most likely made a deal with Elliott Management to be a “bendover, yes sir can I have another, puppet stringed sellout”. If this is... — read more 

Hoping for fun happy New Years at MDT. Lets get that stock price over 100$ again maybe 130$ ... fight fight fight at all costs we can do it !!! Whos with me?

How’s it feel seeing in print our median employee pay went up 1% while Geoff jumped 16% and is the highest paid ceo in med tech? Over a quarter if a million of personal use of the corporate jet while we get turned down for legitimate business ... — read more 

Every MN based employee could apply for the new policy and receive up to 20 weeks PTO. This is going to be abused more than Charlie Sheen’s nose.

After all the restructures and behind-the-scenes changes over the past few years, it really looks like the capable managers have been filtered out. The ones who knew the business, earned trust, and actually cared about their teams are no longer... — read more 

Enjoy your Holidays !

How likely is that there will be Medtronic layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

From top to bottom, there’s no shared understanding of how this company is supposed to function. I’m completely worn out by the disfunction. They may tell you it's like this everywhere, but that’s not true. All companies have problems—this one is... — read more 

Oh looks like he actually just went to be the CSO at Walgreens. Guess he realized high complexity supply chains weren't his calling and he'd rather be back in the consumer commodity world.

With Sean and Nina gone, Skiip has Aortic on the chopping blocks to support his other M&A plans. All the dots are connecting... Skiip (whose only expertise throughout his career is divestures and acquisitions) is brought to CV OU. Sean, and then Nina... — read more 

How strict has the 4 days in office requirement been?

On 12/5 U.S. court rules Cognizant’s H-1B practices unlawfully harmed non-Indian workers and disproportionately displaced American employees. No way anyone could have seen that coming!

Why the price dropped again?

I know it's not because people suddenly like it here and have decided to stop looking, but it says a lot about the state of the job market. I won't lie, it makes me nervous.

Currently at the Irvine plant. Demand has been extremely low for months. A round of RIFs already happened a few weeks ago, followed by an extended manufacturing shutdown where most operators have been forced onto unpaid leave after exhausting PTO... — read more

What’s the deal? Her Outlook states OOO since March and I’m fine without the daily political spam.

After years of foisting your su-kage onto SH&A, you are taking the golden parachute in a testament to the clear lack of leadership ability and lack of qualifications you brought to a once mighty division, leaving the group wallowing in debt to the... — read more 

Thoughts?

GM has been pumping the Hugo approval as a stock moving inflection point. Yeah…. no. Street is unimpressed with his overhyped BS once again. Elliott what are you waiting for? Fire Geoff if you want to make Medtronic more valuable.

Some received Business Update meeting for Monday 12/1/25… Good luck everyone!

And so it begins!

They don't value employees, and some of the tactics they're using to cut costs feel downright deceitful and unethical. If I could give them any advice, it would be to just put us out of our misery. These slow, constant layoffs where they keep cutting... — read more 

How do we feel about Jim Peichel as the new CTO? Seems like initial reaction is generally positive, but I don’t personally know anything about him.

Everyone has a lot to say on here, this is your opportunity to try to force GM to address it. Yes they convert every question to a softball version but if enough people are asking the same questions they’ll have to at least speak to it. Submit... — read more
