When will people learn that they're not safe from layoffs? If you look at the groups of people that have been laid off in the last few years you'll notice one thing, there's no rhyme or reason to it. The good, the bad, the old, the young, high... —  read more 

I'll be honest, I'm low-key hoping to be laid off when the incoming reorganization gets fully underway but I'm a bit worried about the severance package. Were any changes made during the pandemic like in some other companies or is it still the same?... —  read more

Someone said layoffs just happened in some or Medtronic's legacy Covidien businesses. Who was impacted?

I saw people mentioned on other threads on this board that there will be a bigger volume of layoffs in April, or a planet wave of layoffs that might affect a larger portion of the employees. ⅓ has passed and so far nothing has happened. Is this... —  read more

What's your prediction as it relates to the possibility of Medtronic Layoffs in 2019?

Anyone would care to chime in with a prediction about potential Medtronic Layoffs 2021? Any news or rumors?

Will there be any Medtronic Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?

Today they announced early retirement to persons 59 and a half or older. It's possible we might see voluntary layoff offers to follow. Then, the not-so-voluntary separations. Will see.

Is anyone suspecting layoffs in Diabetes due to re-org, delay in launching BLE pump and now COVID-19?

Execs were laid off on 3/2/2020 and other people involved in one of their main business unit. More layoffs to come?

They are laying off in small groups to avoid the publicity. Savings at the expense of local employees while salaries & stock options exorbitant for upper management,

My partner has been laid off after working there for 6 years, along with a number of his more senior coworkers. Seventeen in all, with more to follow I'm sure.

Look, layoffs will always be happening - they're going to lay people off again. That's not going to change. But what the managers can control is what they say in the layoff meeting. What words they use. What their body language says. The message... —  read more 

Some groups are lucky, no layoffs, capital investment, tech, etc. But for the rest of us Medtronics' yearly layoffs cause a ton of stress - our staff morale is at an all time low as I write this. There is no long term job security and employees are... —  read more
