Thread regarding Medtronic Inc. layoffs

Little birdie told me mass layoffs coming

There will be announced mass layoffs and consolidation plans within a week from now. Underperforming BUs will be restructured or sold and 1000’s will be laid off across the enterprise.

This is first roll out of changes due to Elliott Managment,

Thank you Geoff Martha! Elliott management would have never bought into MDT if you never took over the CEO spot! Enjoy your huge parachute package.

@v9 Not surprising about peripheral. The senior vp president of that group, Dave Moeller, came from marketing. A he-l of a nice guy, but the group has wallowed and coasted for a decade.

I'm afraid the RIFs won't have any severance.

Always layoffs anymore and November not an exception. End of quarter, back up 60 days to avoid Warn notices, maybe a week to sign papers if required. That puts it in range of earnings week. Just pure speculation, but my 2 cents…

On one hand, yawn. If something happens it will happen on teh usual fiscal timeline.

On the other hand, I doubt EM is going to pay a partner bonus to any partner to sit on a board with no results. And I bet they operate to their fiscal calendar and not MDTs.

If you don’t know octane, you’re not in the company. The pr spam from octane is weekly to all employees. Step away from the keyboard. Get a life. Live a little.

There isn’t much hope remaining after Thierry’s proud launch of Project Octane. Soon we’ll need to provided our own toilet paper and pay for bathroom entry.

@e2 maybe they have been working on this for months already? And HR can move faster when they’re told they have to. Anything is possible. Stock is down again today.

No new news here. There are always layoffs coming! This company has been circling the drain for a long time and refuses to fix the real problems.

@ab

"100% confident NV and PVH will be spun out and led by BW"

Maybe the new company name can be called "ev3"

ev2 might be better as the "3" - cardio - never really happened
