@bz for lafayette, CST was hit a bit earlier this year, so it makes sense that they're not getting hit with much now
@bx GOSC comms is also becoming part of GCCM
@bw what department are you?
@bx email said a "small number" of impacts to GCCM. i know of 1.
(teams I work with in GCCM were hit relatively heavily just ~3 months ago)
I got RIFd today...Global Service in Lafayette. I know of 3 others in different locations that also were notified, but don't know how deep the cuts will go. Good luck everyone! I would love to know what the total headcount ends up being. So sad!
@by all IT is in India so it’s probably good for a while
@bc Can you expand on this? Which sites R&D and quality? I’ve heard nothing about Boulder / Lafayette
Does anyone know if global IT was impacted?
I heard GCCM was also impacted. Does anyone know the extent?
@bv I got one for tomorrow in RST
Neuromodulation is getting hit tomorrow. Already got my “Business Update” this afternoon for tomorrow morning.
@br 2006 or 2007 is when lay offs started regularly. I believe it was 2012 maybe? or maybe 2008 when 30% of sw left crdm. a bloodbath. We walked around looking over the cubes. Those were the days you were called into an office. Omar didn't layoff like we thought he would coming from GE. BUT GEOFF. Now he did Omar right by GE management.
@bk yes, HR said they monitor it closely and won't let you save to usb either
This has been the bloodiest layoff since I joined the company in 2017. Brutal.
@bk Yes, they do monitor the last 2 days before they deactivate you. They go by the title of the documents on the file/attachment. If they find anything, they ask you to delete it and sign a document confirming it. Go put that printers to good use!
@bk They are absolutely monitoring. If they think you’ve done anything suspect they will contact your manager (not immediately, but eventually) to find out if they should investigate further. If your manager vouches for you, you should be fine and it will end there.
@bj They are monitoring your screens.
@b9 no. could be just informative that others were laid off. it is rare though.
@bj yeah is anyone actually looking at what you emailed yourself? Pics, tax docs, etc.
How much are they monitoring emails?
@bb My teams’ workflow overlaps with the greater EHS team. Good people. Their leadership is a mess. Let a solid employee go yesterday. Good luck building that synergy back up. Going to be a fire sale!
@b1 same day, mine was 2 hrs notice
@ap I hope this never happens to you, it’s not a pleasant experience
@a5 Trump? This isn’t a board to rant politics. If you don’t have any info to share stay out, you are making things worse.
@ba yes that means RIF, exactly what happened to me earlier today. Dont dwell on it, there’s nothing you can do and stressing will only make it worse.
bloodbath is underway - R&D, Quality, entire manufacturing units
Chief Sustainability Officer leaving as EHS (environmental health and safety) combines with Sustainability teams. Unified function to be led by Finnamore
Unsure if there are other impacts to roles/RIFs from this change
@b9 Is it from your boss? I got one from my boss' boss, and it meant my boss was RIFed. Also, my invite was same day, which may matter and be a different procedure than for RIFs.
If the meeting title is "business update" does that definitely mean I'm toast?
@b1 I heard we'll get it sometime between 3:30-5pm tonight for tomorrow morning onsite meeting.
@b1 received invite yesterday and got rif the next day
How far in advance are people receiving “business update” meeting invites? Same day? Day before?
Heard Santa Rosa will be closed - 2 year timeline, but they are going to try to shut everything down within a year. Many teams at the site completely laid off. Waiting to see what happens. Grapevine news is that there will be an onsite all-hands tomorrow morning with VP coming onsite.
Wow, I bet many on this thread feel so much better know that MDT is recognizing May as Mental Health Awareness Month. Timely…given the events this week. In that vein, I say to the folks who have been cut, you are amazing. Get some exercise, make a ki-ler meal with wine and then next week dust off the resume and go kick butt.
CAS (don’t know how many) and r&d crm, doesn’t sound like neuro or pelvic health were touched (unconfirmed) it’s pretty widespread. Normal severance package. If you got hit, sleep in tomorrow and enjoy your summer of paid leave.
@ap maybe chill with the whole internet troll persona for a day or two
After over 20 yrs of service in SH/Aortic in Santa Rosa I was laid off this morning. My manager's meeting schedule was completely full with back to back 30 min meetings for the entire day. He was very somber as he read from a prepared script before handing me over to the HR guy. It is what it is and I'm not even mad about it. My level of expertise will be another company's gain and Medtronic's loss. When I was in my early 20's a was given some great advice by someone who was older and wiser than me. He said "Job security is your ability to seek employment." Time for me to go touch some grass and not give a sh-t about anything for a few weeks.
CAS PMO
@a4 should start with their quality vp
Looks like Santa Rosa will have a bloodbath today most meeting rooms are booked
