AV Temecula Layoffs

So true, when a huge amount is scrapped and the only concern is utilization it really demonstrates "Business Excellence" accreditation as an effective accumen for outsourcing.

 

What was the severance package?

 

Probably same as always, but those affected are not supposed to divulge the details.

 

This is how big pharma rolls
Bring back GUIDANT!...
It's a great day to be alive

 

They have utterly destroyed a strong, highly profitable and totally awesome company through their incompetency. I have never seen such a group of management losers in all of my years in this industry. Unfortunately, it's the worker level that pays for their screw-ups. Getting laid off was truly a blessing!

1 week for every year of service. Plus vacation payout. And half week for every year your over 40. 60 days pay as a requirement of warn. Plus a additional 6 weeks. They had the nerve to tell some to go to manpower and get on the list to be hired back a a later date. Plus if you get a job after 90 days the payout reduces. Never heard of such a thing. Laid off by 2 medical device companies. Both paid 2 weeks per year with no strings attached.

 

The payout reduces only if you inform HR. Just sayin...

Hunger Games part 2 June 26th. ABBOTT A Promise We Wont Break.

 

Is that what the transfer plan says when OTW Xpedition, June 26th, is fully transferred to Costa Rica. If that is the case, then hello layoffs in June. Where else can they put the people, not like the stuff the R&D guys are building in the 3rd floor R&D lab/production line will be ready for Ops.

If anyone on the Product Transfer team can confirm this date, we will greatly appreciate it

 

This is not a bad package. How long do they continue the medical? I guess those of us at ADC are next....wonder when.

 

the next "mini-layoff" will be in ~ 4-6 weeks as they realign everyone that's left in production and support staff. The site goal is to get down to less than 500 employees in TEM site by mid 2014. after that, it's anyone's guess but i dont' c the site continuing for much longer.

 

Bob Reese is rolling over in his grave.

 

who the heck is bob reese? is that the guy from "person of interest"? j/k

 

Bob Reese founded ACS, which later became Guidant.

 

Correction: which later became our division within Guidant.

 

He also started interventional technologies. Very good man and fun to work with and for.
