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

HCL's do not have great talents.

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.
