1 week shutdown forced to use pto/vacation or no pay. Very low on work and well over staffed. Layoffs coming? Perhaps

BD continues the 2025 “simplification” (aka cost reduction) strategy. The sell includes 360 employees https://investors.bd.com/news-releases/news-release-details/bd-sell-surgical-instrumentation-platform-steris

Spending freeze announced this week in BDB to compensate for IDS potentially missing budget targets. Product launches will be delayed. Most likely layoffs will hit before FY24.

With all of the talk of this board about hiring freezes and layoffs - I see quite a few BD Sumter positions posted beyond JG1/2 floor positions. Many of these are JG3/4/5 positions. Were folks asked to resign/severed and these are backfill positions?... — read more 

Hiring freeze is also implemented until the next fiscal year. Start looking elsewhere while you can.

Another condescending email blast sent out in IDS today about being in the office. Are other business units getting the same push from their leadership?

Anybody know how much severance you get per year of working at BD?

BD posted in the last few weeks several contractor positions across different sites through MilleniumSoft (3rd party agency). Most of those jobs are operations, I know some of those roles are currently filled by full time (“permanent”) employees and... — read more 

Received an email this morning that BD is going to start addressing "non-compliance" with hybrid workers who are not coming into the office at least 3 days a week. seems like they're trying to force those workers to search out remote work elsewhere... — read more 

BD yet again known for doing Layoff's, always in constant fear every quarter especially near the end of the 4th quarter. No wonder why there is a lack of talent and zero moral there.

This was never the case before. We at least had some kind of job security here. But with so many cuts - both public and hidden - I can’t stop stressing. I’m now considering leaving the company and finding a new job just for the sake of my own mental... — read more 

Any info on BD pseudo-layoff, rebadging BD employees as contractors? Does anyone know how many BD associates were given the option to either transition to contractor status (contingent worker) or resign?

Job losses announced in yet another knee jerk reaction by incompetent management. Constant change in focus, no direction, low staff moral and lack of training and access to standard operating procedures.

From what I am hearing, the poor leadership who came from outside of diagnostics, and their inability to both generate and combat the substantial loss of covid revenues, paired with declining sales and is forcing major cutbacks in IDS. BD has... — read more 

Layoffs are happening.

Confirmed via multiple sources, fairly large layoffs coming very soon. Rumor has it that it's mainly for optics. Paying bonuses while not able to sell infusion for several years, finally catches up.

It's got to continue and there are definitely lots of management layers that could go. Sr leaders with 1 direct report or no direct reports! Too many layers for sure.

I am starting to hear that there were a handful of people laid off today at MMS.

I’m seeing several layoffs on talent acquisition/recruiters at BD today. They were told today but I’m not sure how many were affected. Does anyone know of other areas being affected?

In BDB there is a hiring freeze for the whole Q2. Does this hint to layoffs? Or is it quite common to have hiring freeze? Does it also mean promotion freeze?

How likely is that there will be Becton Di-kinson layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Both on the company level and those below. I'm not sure how many changes, adjustments, and whatnot my group had in the past five years, but it was more than enough. Funnily enough, the more things supposedly change, the more they stay the same. I... — read more 

I'm a past employee, but I did hear of some layoffs through the grape vine between the San Antonio, TX and Sandy, UT RCC teams.

They are planning staff cuts to the engineering department. the first 3-4 engineers cut will be from the R&D department the other 4-6 engineers will be supporter SM/CI/CTW projects and MMP plant. I don’t know what this means, but I just want to... — read more 

Some hints of a large scale reorg. I dont know anything else.

My anxiety is only intensified by the huge non-transparency here. There are rumors that layoffs are already happening, but I don't know which business units are affected, nor what is the scope of these layoffs. If anyone has more insights, please... — read more 

BD is currently laying off employees. Not sure how many but its definitely happening.

Is something in works?

Not that I blame those who're leaving, considering how much things have changed in the last couple of years. Employees used to be appreciated, now we're nothing but a number to them. It doesn't matter how long you've been here, if they think you cost... — read more

There's been some talk about possible layoffs next month, what are the chances that's true?

The entire finance organization is turning over rapidly. Long tenured highly respected team members are leaving for external opportunities.

Well I called my boss a du----s and now I'm in the hot seat. I'm 58 years old and make a good pay but I get blamed for everything that goes wrong. I don't get any respect. My boss is 20 something years old and she doesn't know sh-t from apple... — read more 

Have you heard anything about potential Becton Di-kinson layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I don't know what your situation is like but I have more and more work to do. At this point I'm doing abnormal amounts of work. It is no longer clear to me whether this is happening to everyone, are we simply all becoming overwhelmed with work... — read more 

Last month some changes took place that laid-off several people. I have a feeling more is coming but I haven't heard anything past what has already happened.

Rumor has it anyone below director level in Marketing, Creative, or Digital is going as of Oct 1, with the exception of a few jobs that people will have to re-apply for? (but they're not as good as the current positions). Apparently, they let them... — read more
