When I left Medtronic it felt like I’d crawled out of a pit. Took me months to feel like myself again after all the toxicity. It drained everything from me, energy, confidence, and health. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

I've always wondered if I left, would the clouds part and the sun come out and flowers spring from the meadow? One data point says yes.
@OP, I feel the same! My new team continues to surprise me - I keep expecting toxic behavior from people (due to MDT's PTSD), but keep getting the opposite. Feels good tbh.
@rq Come on VERP!
VERP 2023 was awesome. No one else i know Who took it regrets it , but the people who could have but did not wish they had!
@ba It would be nice if they offer VERP in 2026.
Being laid off was like a huge weight lifted off my chest. I knew my role was stressful, but I had no idea how stressful until it ended. I still need a job 4 months later, but really appreciate the time to decompress and hopefully like my career again
I took the VERP in 2023... glad I took that step because I had been unhappy for a long time!
@OP me too, I'm actually sleeping.
