Topics regarding layoffs at Medtronic Inc.

Why can’t we innovate?

I’m seriously asking. Or everybody basically gave up on this company, so it’s only about stock and upper mgmt pay? Letting so many talented and experienced people go all the time, together with all other cost cutting measures, in exchange for the... — read more 

So Long KP

This ship really is sinking isn't it?

Message to the Board

Has anyone written to the board and received a constructive response? Wondering if it's a worthy endeavor.

I decided I won’t do Project 6 this year

I care about helping people and my OU encourages us to do Project 6. But I feel like if I do it I am playing into the corporate BS. I feel like I am helping Medtronic with their fake mission. I won’t do Project 6 because MDT is a joke and I won’t... — read more 

I really want to like MDT..but..

The Mission is so stellar..I like my co workers and boss, but the general environment is depressing..I joined a year ago..insprired by the mission and it was a bigger role for me than what I did in the past..but now feeling dejected. I want to really... — read more

Layoffs update

What’s the latest? Which depts have been hit the most?

Fire Geoff

Our competition is destroying us while he travels in the company jet. What is it going to take to fire Geoff and his cronies including Greg Smith and Scott Cundy?

This company would be great with better mgmt

It’s never a problem with peeps doing the hard work. It’s always mgmt. Failing in this industry is really an achievement. If we’ve had an upper mgmt with vision, capable to develop a plan and invest in improvements/upgrades where needed, competent... — read more 

Medtronic has corrupt HR

It’s an open secret that if you report any issues to HR they mark to your record and eventually fire you for being problematic. There is a lack of HR presence at our site and there are loud racists and people that have been complained about for... — read more 

MIP - 94%

Hi all! I received an e-mail saying the MIP is 94% . We missed the EPS target. Is this % the same for everyone this year? Or can it vary per OU, region and function?

MECC is a joke

No one knows what's going on, leadership promotes cliques. People don't feel comfortable speaking up. Directors think they are "making it easy to do work around here" when in reality it's a struggle to get straight answers from anybody

Non-Compete Enforcement

How strictly are the non-competes enforced? I'd like to join a direct competitor in a similar role to what Im currently doing. How will Medtronic know where I'm joining? Will it be an issue later on?

Medtronic Leadership Failures

Our site likes to ignore problems. The manager tells our director we are on schedule, but he is never around to notice the truth. Everyone has been using layoffs as an excuse to do nothing. I worry this cycle of firings will repeat when it becomes... — read more 

MIP Payout

In today’s quarterly meeting the president said the MIP payout would be between 80-95%. Anyone know how your end of year rating factors in? Does a 3 payout at 95% or is that a 5?

What about the CIO?

Any opinion about her performance? Is she improving IT as she claims or is she ki-ling IT?

So, what happened?

Newbie at MDT. What caused the company to get to where it is? Bad leaders, bad products, bets that didn’t work out, too much fat in the org..???? Did we get here overnight or a gradual decline?

So much for MIP this year

Leadership is absolute garbage. Couldn’t help but to laugh while reading all their emails about how we “knocked it out of the park” as the stock tanked. Patting themselves on the back while we all pay the price for their stupidity. “We’ll get... — read more

Such cry babies!

This company is full of bunch of cry babies running to HR when they are asked a tough question. They just don’t have ba--s to stand up for anything..

Expected MIP Results and Targets

I can't seem to find a lot of information on the MIP targets and actual payout other than the forums of MIP missing payout last year. Does anyone have insight into Target %'s for a Senior (Level 3) or Principal (Level 4) engineer? Do any mid-level... — read more 

Posts disappear here

The agenda police are at work. I see a recent post disappeared. It must have struck a nerve.

FY25-25 - IT Layoff has begun

Recent reorg and some VPs departure, lay-off appears imminent. Like many failed Indian origin CIO (UnitedHealth) with no creativity their only outlet is todo LayOffs and move on. I heard in one of the meetings recently she bragged about buying a... — read more 

I want to see the engagement score numbers

We know you are getting hammer by us worker bees. Instead of showing us the actual numbers you just bring up the topics and say they are being “worked on”. If I get an end of year review number you should show us how the employees are rating you... — read more

The latest layoffs convinced me to start looking

I've been thinking about it for a while now but I always found excuses on why not to start. Well, those excuses are gone now. I realized that a job at Medtronic can only be considered a temporary one. I no longer have expectations of having a... — read more 

Summer Hours

Just FYI - one of our competitors is on LinkedIn bragging about their Summer Hours while MDT takes ours away with no notice. "As summer approaches, we're thrilled to announce the return of our Summer Friday's tradition! Starting today, our team... — read more
