Look up this article at nytimes.com written June 11, 2016 "Laid-Off Americans, Required to Zip Lips on Way Out, Grow Bolder." So the work isn't getting done. HCL can't handle it. What a surprise. That's not going to stop the reckless, unfair... — read more
So, how are things going to those IT folks who were laid off / transferred to HCL?
Just wondering how things are going to those who were laid off and those who converted to HCL. Any news?
And there goes the Respiratory Business!
BD had been denying that they were looking to sell/divest the respiratory business ever since they bought CareFusion. Well, looks like they were lying about that too! Link for the main article: http://www.streetinsider.com/dr/news.php?id=11400044... — read more
Just stick the BD label on someone else's product
It wasn't about quality, even though that is what is drilled into the associates ... quality has become simply a slogan, nothing more with this company. Sad. might as well sell the whole thing out and just stick the BD label on someone else's product... — read more

Things are falling apart on the IT side, everyone knows it
HCL is clueless, I have worked with them and they are incompetent fools. I am glad to be leaving and taking my dignity with me.
Wish i would have read these posts months ago.
They repeatedly lied telling plant IT associates they were out of scope and just last week broke the news to plants that they will be included in the Jan - Mar 2016 waves. The way they lead everyone along and continue to play against peoples fears... — read more

What is the likelihood of Becton Dickinson layoffs in Franklin Lakes in 2016? Please let me know if you have any information.
HCL's do not have great talents.
I had been doing the training (or knowledge transfer as HCL says it) for a week. None of the HCL guys impress me. One guy doesn’t even know the technology we are using; he just keeps nodding his head and pretends he knows the stuff. Another guy tries... — read more
BD ... it USED to be a "great place to work".
I think the title says it all. And trust me, this will boomerang back and bite them in the ***. But by then it will be too late.
Sell BD stock before it drops
If you have any BD stock, sell it now! BD’s management is stupid and following the same foot step of other used to be great companies, like VW, Kodak, IBM and etc.

The process of "training your replace" had begun
Following is what I gathered from different sources: 1. The process of "training your replace" had begun. But because of the Disney debacle, BD tries their best to use the manager or surviving employee to do the training. However, a small number of... — read more
My advice to the HCL guys/gals

Someone commented on BD playing a fair game? Really?
BD Leaders do what is best for BD Leaders, period. This plan of action is called smoke and mirrors, so I suggest waking up and smelling the coffee before it is too late. BD and HCL signed a contract, and I am sure there is money up front to HCL, so... — read more
HCL
In reality, HCL does not want any BD employee; it is because having BD's old employee in the mix will make any problem cover up much more difficult. If none of BD's old employees join them, they will be very happy because they could claim any screw... — read more

BD's Respect and Care
It is a joke about giving “respect and care” to the BD employees who are being layoff. What BD and HCL are doing is cold and crude business strategy to lay you off first, then make you to join HCL and have them suck you dry with your knowledge, and... — read more
Maybe BD needs to make a few more layers of management, because there should be 19 layers between the common workers and CIO.
