Good expose on the mistakes that have led to stagnant growth and culture. Geoff comes across as dismissive and defensive, nothing is his fault. Do you think it’s true in your group that engagement scores are up since 2019? I’m not seeing it!

Do not commit time fraud. Don’t give any reason to be fired. Good luck

I’m investing in my own skills because clearly no one else is going to. I feel like this place is intentionally pigeonholing us into positions so we don’t have too many options to leave unless they’re the ones to kick us out. Anyhow, if there ever... — read more

It can only hurt you!

Good luck!

How do people not realize this?

In GM’s earnings video, he makes EM sound friendly and benevolent. What is Elliot Management actually thinking about Medtronic and changes that need to be made?
