I did 21 years at BD/Pyxis and I just couldn't do it any longer. 1000s of horror stories for the last 8 years from the field. Any way they can F you they will, last-minute changes and booking (tell you on sunday where your going of at all), they... — read more 

After years of seeing the most useless and worthless resources being constantly promoted in this company, I have finally figured out the steps to success at BD: Undermine every corporate project you’re assigned to as much as possible. Don’t... — read more 

BD employees are getting laid off after hurricane Helene and before hurricane Milton, while CEO gets raises. Was told not to say anything. BD reported total compensation for CEO Tom Polen at $17.3 million in fiscal 2023 (ended Sept. 30, 2023), up... — read more

Today is the day, anyone seeing layoffs or big changes coming? Let us know!

Say it isn't so! Big rumor is: If you are over 40 years old, unless you are a VP, BD wants you out. And if you are over 40, forget about applying to BD...unless you are applying for a VP role!

Was MMS in San Diego impacted again by recent layoffs?

Guard in blocking the lobby before hand to make sure laid off folks didn’t retaliate lol

And who?

Why does everyone feel so negative about this company? I enjoy being a good worker and doing what I’m told. I like the challenge of taking on multiple people’s jobs on top of my own to no benefit for myself. I enjoy working 10 hours a day and living... — read more 

Are you a director/VP nervous about your job? Are you feeling imposter syndrome because you were pampered by your "manager" and now you don't know how to "lead" when your crutch isn't there? Are you feeling exposed for the fake "leader" that you... — read more 

I think you su-k. Sincerely from the bottom of my heart, A former BD company man who took pride in working for BD to hopefully a laid off employee

Feeling like I'm the only one experiencing this: The worst part about working in a bad organization like BD is to work for a weak manager who gives in to pressures from his/her peers while neglecting the needs on his/her team. This type of manager... — read more 

The Becton and Howe building gives off the creepiest vibes. Empty cubicles and office, trash and dust building up in these spaces. Those I did run into seemed like zombies. I certainly hope the other BD sites aren't like this but I have a hunch it... — read more 

SR is leaving BD. That's 6 BD leaders in SM that are no longer with the company in the last 18 month. BD is a burning hot mess. I am so tired of working all this OT while they keep hiring people who have been terminated for points and then they are... — read more 

Got pulled in with HR and manager this afternoon. You all know what happened after...best of luck to the rest of you and hope you make it through the FY

Boss Makes a Dollar, I make a dime. That was a poem from a simpler time... Now Boss makes a thousand, and gives us a 2 cents. Lays-off employees who can't pay thier rents! So when boss makes a million. And the workers make jack. We'll form a... — read more 

I heard a rumor there are more cuts coming right now. Is this true?

Seems like not many people from the Franklin Lakes site are on here. Anyone know how our "beloved" company headquarters is doing?

Anybody else feel this way? 4 months in and loving it

I am tired of seeing Director and higher people playing childish politics to justify why they're important to the organization. Seriously, you wouldn't need to be doing this if you WERE capable and didn't need to take credit for other people's work... — read more 

Anyone know if you’re still eligible for part of your bonus if you quit before Sep 30th or is it all or nothing?

Saw the earnings report for BDX and PS literally crapped the bed in many areas. Any news? Hope no layoffs hits them. Bad sign for this business maybe

Started training the TJ Employees around a year ago and now had a town hall of production moving to Tijuana. Anyone else feel everything moving to Mexico???

This doesn't have to be a pure negativity board, let's spread some positivity too :)

Two people I work with were let go yesterday in Marketing. Rumor is at least 30 people were let go but can't confirm. Don't know what other departments were hit. Guess we'll see if other businesses get hit this week. Get your resumes in order.

Very quiet here lately. Everyone must be happy with their jobs or BD bought the website.

Any negative reviews on glassdoor and you will get an email from them telling you it's a fake review Fu-k tom polen and his private eye bullsh-t.bring it on and you will alot of sh--e instruments on your hands in drogheda.

So BD so concerned with employees’ getting monthly payments in retirement that they are doing away with pensions and doing this? Yeah that makes sense… I’m sure most leadership aren’t pension eligible (not with BD long enough to be grandfathered in)... — read more 

Have there been more cuts today so far?

That is all the info I can share.

Things must be getting tough at BD. They have advertised on LinkedIn for a Senior Investigator, to handle "ethics hotline and regulatory agencies complaints". I am sure they are getting plenty from both. I guess Tommy Boy may be getting a little... — read more 

“As a result of a recent review, a decision has been taken to gradually wind down operations at BD’s Drogheda plant over the next 2½ years. This will unfortunately potentially result in the loss of around 200 jobs”

At BD, you will discover a culture in which you can learn, grow, thrive, and find satisfaction in the fact you are doing your part to make the world a better place.

B-M in Sumter walked out today(on his own). VP of Specimen Management walked out on his own 3 weeks ago. The Board of Directors need to wake up before the whole company collapse while in Polen's control.

It is amazing how many people are in the process of leaving and have left because of the unqualified, rude, entitled production manager. How many people is she going to cost us before she is gone.

After more than a decade with BD I am hoping my area gets laid off. Leadership is terrible and I am through with BD but after so much time invested I want BD to let me go so I can get unemployment. After the last few years of how BD treats... — read more 

Turns out that lots of the cutting was to free up 4 billion in cash. Let's hope your job was worth something more than another bungled acquisition like Bard.

When will Senior Leadership get the picture that the toxic environment they created is driving people away. BD Mebane has lost 9 salaried people to include the old Operations Manager( who they replaced with a shady CI manager that bus tosses her own... — read more
