I went to see how much the workforce has shrunk over the years due to layoffs and I found this:
2025 162,000
2024 159,000
2023 164,000
2022 143,000
2021 132,000
2020 135,000
2019 136,000
2018 137,000
2017 138,000
2016 136,000
2015 132,000
2014 122,000
2013 120,000
2012 115,000
2011 108,000
With the constant cuts, how the he-l do we have more employees than almost ever before?
@OP LOL, they acquired more business with more headcounts and laid off took place with new headcounts. Very simple. Your numbers are not including how many new business Danaher acquired.
@ab And there have probably been other, less noticeable acquisitions
@OP layoff and hire for a 2 for 1 special.
Cerner as acquired in 2022 - added 20k+
Explained by hiring in India and overseas with much cheaper expenses
Relax OP, management is working on fixing this. More on this in the near future...
Actually, I see 168080 under “All DM’s”
more hiring than firing ? not sure how this is hard to understand lol
Acquisitions, expanding product portfolios, staffing data centers, to name a few.
