So sorry to hear this. I was laid off in 2024 from Neurovascular OU. I did a lot of product training overviews for just about every OU. To hear of some of these OUs experiencing RIFs su-ks! I have noticed the steady layoffs since 2024. What has gone wrong for Medtronic to continue restructuring? Did they bite off more than they could chew? Acquiring businesses that they are now letting go of makes me wonder! Wishing the very best for everyone.
@q2 CST (3 CC’s in Neuro Technology laid off as of today that I know of)
What group is CC?
@OP CC in North Carolina was laid off
@js what happened?
@g4 False
Received my "business update" email today, meeting tomorrow morning. ACM OU, CO
Well there is always tomorrow
CAS in Mounds View (AME and R&D) got hit today too
@h2 no, it’s 300+ in north haven. Stop lying.
Every life matters. 50 people with families to feed.
@gw only 50 impacted out of 3000
@g4 only 50 in north haven impacted so far
@g4 Holy he-l, that's out of how many at North Haven total?
@gb because GOSC don’t provide any revenue . We are cost. And according to SLT - people are the biggest cost.
My manager just got laid off today.
Why is GCOS getting hit so hard?
I heard over 300 gone and still counting in North Haven.
Nothing in CST. Crickets.
Just found out EHS as well. Great work Mr. Finnamore.
@e8 there to fire BW (I hope)
Apparently GM was here today at NV. Wonder what they are gonna announce soon. Last time he was here unannounced major RIF happened.
Does anyone know if GOSC electronics vertical is on the hit list?
There is no buzz of layoffs in my team at all and everything seems to be very rosy.
Conference rooms are being booked for tomorrow for GOSC. Those in CM/OEM should be on the list. The VP and their sr directors just travels everywhere in business class for nothing. This group is a cult and it’s toxic - brown nosing each other!
@dw hard to offshore mfg jobs unless they ditch the whole plant, which I doubt. I’m sure they’ll be some re-org that makes no sense and people will be scrutinized as to why previous/new targets can’t be hit with fewer people/less resources.
Anyone know what function is up tomorrow?
@dt sorry to hear. Offshoring next?
North Haven got hit hard. QC people RIF’d in areas that are already short staffed. Not sure what the plan forward is.
@dh Those come out first part of the calendar year, candidates need to commit by end of March. No early retirement offers were sent out this year.
@dh I have not heard of any.
North Haven MFG and GSOC teams are being hit today, Robotics and Corp others maybe WED and Thru.
have there been any voluntary early retirement offers?
@df Directors get 4 weeks per year of service? That is bonkers. Senior Director is more understandable.
@de in the US…. Sr Mgr and below get 2 weeks for every year of service (minimum of 4 weeks and maximum of 52 weeks). Directors get 4 weeks for every year of service (max 52 weeks). This is paid out after the 60 day notification period.
Has anyone heard what the layoff severance package is this year?
@cf Malaysia, did they just acquire something? You sir are one of the invalid commenters.
@d9 Spot on, audit nightmare, full of opportunities for issues
@d8 I'm afraid to ask what ou she is with. I'm hoping not mine since we still haven't heard anything
Resorting to use MEIC to save money was one of the worst decisions our leaders have made.
@d6 this is a role that cannot be offshored. Instead, there will be a reduction of quality and integrity of the work in her space. Like a lot of things in this company, it will just get cr-ppier.
Cuts happening in North Haven. Some divisional engineering, a super solid engineering manager that we’re devastated to lose, kitting and QC.
