Thread regarding ResMed Inc. layoffs

Talent Acquisition

In my long career of TA I have never experienced the disrespectful and passive aggressive behaviour of the people team over the last 4-5 months especially. This is among the worst leadership I have worked with, ego and back stabbing in my many years within this profession. I speak of the people team only. The manner in which the team was laid off and months leading to the lay off was extremely disrespectful. One can accept a lay off, when treated well beforehand,

DHT and SaaS hiring managers were amazing to work with, and the team was so collaborate and respectful. Work was so joyful.

Since the last few restructures in the past 3 years the leadership and decisions makers that made ResMed an amazing place to work to be have been pushed out or have left. That culture of autonomy is now gone.

I would not recommend working here.

Treat your talent better; be more transparent and do not share the names of people you are laying off to some and not others. It’s unprofessional

Thank you DHT, and SaaS managers and engineers. What a great time working together.

The leadership @ Resmed in Atlanta Is the worse I have ever worked in. There’s nothing but favoritism going on. It’s crazy that corporate hasn’t hired an investigator at this point to go into the Atlanta ResMed, so they can see first hand how employees are being treated poorly. The employment rate for Atlanta is very bad. You can count on one hand, the employees that have been there longer than 5 years in the Shipping and receiving department. The Leadership doesn’t have the education or experience to do what they are doing. It doesn’t matter how hard you work at that location, you have to be in with the IN CROWD, and that’s wrong and unprofessional on so many levels.

Although the writing was on the wall, I still cannot believe we were all on the same call getting fired alongside our managers. Couldn’t even afford the basic courtesy of having a personal notification. Is that even legal? I hope the CEO will see this post and do something about the abhorring practice. Would not return to the same company for sure especially under the new TA director.

I found it respectful. Other companies have exited recruiters well before this. If I ever had the opportunity I would go back and hope to one day.

Actually yes it was the leaders fault. Try to understand budget and over spending, over hiring .. over spending means cutting eventually - never needed a TA team this large.. .. yes there are no roles the team isn’t stupid, but be transparent and let people go in a respectful manner

Blindsided? As a TAP that was also impacted, it was pretty clear with the reduction in roles to recruit that this would be coming. Whilst it is hard, how can a company keep a big recruitment team when there is no roles to hire? People have been moved to different teams already. I am devastated to have lost my role, but it is not the leaders fault.

Totally agreed. Felt so blindsided by the decision. It’s just so confusing on how decision was made on who is leaving/staying especially for the NAM team. I heard the decisions were made by the Head and the Global Director. Couldn’t feel any sincerity when the communications were made. Very fake people…

Will not be a stable healthy collaborative company to work for for many years. Poor management, lack of knowledge on strong business decisions and market. Huge cultural and leadership changes - not for the best.

The state of current ResMed is favouritism, who you know, and to do what you’re “asked” (told)

Truly hope this changes for the better. So many lay offs of the talent with institutional knowledge they will need again

Exactly, we needed a strong leader in TA to better determine what could have been done with team members, especially with have insight with the projected forecasts… ironic since there is a push in internal mobility. I guess there is none.
