Thread regarding BD (Becton Dickinson & Co.) layoffs

Worst ive seen it in the past 16 years

I'm lost. BD is lost. Can someone tell me what's really going on here?!

This is the worst I've seen it since I started 16 years ago. There is no one steering the ship anymore. If there's still a captain, no one's listening to them. The norm is hurry up and wait. The culture is lies, fear, anxiety, confusion, frustration, and baffling. One good thing I recently heard is that a bunch of higher ups were let go, so someone up top is keen on trimming some of the upper fat. Maybe we will be lucky enough to get more DEI hires to replace them!

@ma have never seen jokers getting vp positions in any other organization. These people are not only skill deficient, they are also highly corrupt. All vendor relationships involve kickbacks, I can say that with 100% accountability.

@OP I am looking to early retire. Hold out to the end of the year. Get my LTI and bonus. Managers know their employees are burning out. There is a reason they don’t offer early retirement…

@ef all VPs , Sr Directors of TGS must be kicked out, but i see all of those are still there. I don’t understand how on earth someone with zero skill can become a VP of a $20B company.

Agree that internally it's terrible. But the board won't get rid of him. First of all, he's chairman of the board. Second, our results and earnings aren't bad enough to justify it. It's hard to find people who like him and I'd like to see him removed but doubt that will happen.

Update your resume or prep for retirement because BD is positioning itself to be acquired.
