There are so many issues I see at the moment with BD. High churn rate at the very top and bottom is one. This is worrisome as the big decisions and real work get carried out at these levels, many Mid level managers I deal with are incompetent but their salary-to-value ratio is high and they know it so they end up staying the longest. Seems to be getting quite top heavy and shockingly few real experts anywhere.
Well said, @3kxy+1aB2kAew.
I completely agree with your comment on having a significant amount of turnover. This is leaving us with some folks who are less experienced and maybe a bit underqualified. In the Bard days, it was doing more with less and the compensation reflected this. Bard paid for experienced talent, BD pays for more bodies.
I also think that trying to be a politically correct organization is not conducive to promoting the best people. This inclusive, diverse, ESG and social strategy is distracting, but it seems many companies want to be focused on the latest thinking.
I’m more concerned with the architecture work-stream. Architecture = plant closure. Closing plants in order to drive revenue is not employee friendly, but I guess it part of the BD way.
I will be leaving BD January 2022 to Join a company that is less political and more about delivery of high quality product focused on driving revenue and earnings.
grass aint always on the other side guiz, this is coming from someone thats worked at similar size, or even bigger sized med device companies. Usually there are waves, meaning ups and downs in company strategy - the bad apples in management are usually a small ratio but we fixate on them the most. I think being able to see from different perspectives help and being active/flexible in your skillsets/ job transition ready is always the way to go in the long run.
I've noticed two things about this site. They have active moderators who'll delete things if they break the site rules. But I've also noticed that the page sometimes 'hiccups' and hides all the replies on some of the threads. They're usually back within a few minutes, though. Your situation could be either of the two.

I absolutely agree with your observations. I hope voice of associate will reflect how we feel about BD. There is high turnover from manufacturing through distribution centers and corporate. Corporate high level teams are bunch of incompetent daydreamers and thinkers and they are constantly driving random projects downstream to make themselves busy and to look good and we thw bottom associates have to follow all that bu-----t thanking them for great work and initiatives. Im so sick of bu-----t.
