Becton Dickinson & Co. Layoffs

Becton Dickinson Layoffs 2018

Layoffs always happen - don’t freak out - be coooool… you cannot change that fact. Accept it and focus on work. We are not safe here in Franklin Lakes.

It's Chaotic!

As a former employee, the company culture is to hire incompetent management and lay off quality employees. There are some great honest people there, but politically, it's chaos...

There have been rumblings for quite sometime within the CF ranks of a major shakeup due to BD not actually being in their element with this type of business. It is getting awful at CF due to years and years of group think style management. By far the... read more

What happens to Bard employees?

I work at Bard Corporate Office. When can we expect to be laid off?

Severance package at Becton Dickinson

I was wondering if anybody who was affected by the latest round of layoffs could tell us what kind of severance package was offered to them? It doesn't look like layoffs will be done any time soon, so it'd be nice if we at least knew what we can... read more

Annual Culling

Every year at this time, too bad that the people who wants to leave they don't let them go. Been there. BD is still a great place to work for.

Amazing "who can I step over to get all the credit" Culture

BD was suking the life out of me. You can almost see the darkness and negativity in the halls. What a dreadful place to work. I was there for over 15 years and it kept getting worse. The culture went from "lets succeed as a team" to "who can I step... read more

Now that the threat of Union has faded, we are back where we once were

Financial Suggestions: how to insure away some of the layoff threat and stretch out your layoff finances!

Years ago after being laid off (to be precise it took place in 2008) I started looking for ways to cover costs if I was RIF'ed again. There were two things I found, one IncomeAssure won't cover you unless you have held your job for 24 months and and... read more

Been there

Good luck to all affected, I know it's not easy to be laid off, I hope all of you find something better very quickly. I have somewhat similar experience when it comes to layoffs - it was not pretty at all. I was already affected - happened when BD... read more

So, who is to blame?

BD was once a great place to go into and walk out of happy. People enjoyed the good ol' days of BD. Things change, management shuffles. We entrust the Board of Directors to represent the company. The perverbial "torch" is passed on, we've had some... read more

Layoff process at BD

Is there any warning to those who were getting laid off or was it a complete surprise shock? Do they give you any explanation? With layoffs supposedly starting today, just curious if I should start packing my cube early.

Capitalism at its worst

Another corporate monster that works its employees to death, and then throws them out in the streets because they impact the bottom line and the corporate fat cats massive bonuses. Your game is so played out. The revolution has already started. The... read more

BEWARE!

I was laid off last year and it was a blessing in disguise. I moved on and found a job that’s more rewarding and pays better. I think the job market for IT is good and one should be able to transition easily if you happen to be cut. I still have... read more
