There has been layoffs in the Lakeland location. Currently they are moving people around after letting all temp workers go. They have also closed some departments fr a day or two and had employees use there pto or vacation days in place of the su down. We are also afraid of losing our jobs here in Lakeland. For the Week of Christmas we are having 3 additional days without work.

Stryker's game is "Shareholder value". They set artificially low expense budgets to keep earnings high. When divisions/business units can't meet budget, they will do whatever it takes to stay within budget. This is what Lakeland and other areas are experiencing like IT. The SAP Project and outsourcing inefficiencies are costing a lot moneyand to make up for it, they have terminated hundreds of employees. In addition, they have dropped 24/7 maintenance agreements on most of their IT infrastructure and software which puts Stryker at a big risk for extended downtime on key systems.
