Geoff needs to go

you’re officially the dumbest person to post here if you believe Medtronic is the only company to do massive layoffs and has blamed poor performance on elective procedure cancellations or hospital staffing issues

In the last year, every large publicly traded medical company has blamed poor revenue on elective procedure pauses and hospital staffing issues along with supply chain hiccups. What all of them fail to discuss is that the government cut off the free money handouts they willingly took to artificially inflate their stock prices.

The problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people’s money. In this case, big medical has run out of government handouts. But not to worry, ALL the board members and CEOs have gotten obscenely wealthy in the last few years. It’s you middle-class workers who are paying the price now in stagnant wages, layoffs, inflation, and piss poor career opportunities due to acquisitions and consolidation.

The insurance companies are making off like bandits!

Exactly, our leadership could be some of the worst in the S and P 500. These guys spend money like a drunken democrat with someone else’s credit card and then they look to us to pay their tab. Cowards, thieves, and losers.

I am afraid you might the dimmest bulb on the board. Medtronic is by far the worst at blaming everyone but their leadership. I mean for the love of Pete, even crazy Jim Cramer has been saying this for 18 months. Are you telling us that there is another large medical device company performing worse than we are? You do realize our stock price is back at COVID levels, right? Wake up, MDT is by far the worst. Even the Minneapolis Star Tribune finally came out and started to bad mouth the golden child of the mid west. Back orders..check. Failing stock price…check. Highest rate of Federal corrective actions…check. What am I missing friendo?

Any chance for a link to the Star Tribune article? Not surprised —lots of investors live in that area and are watching the CEO ruin a great company.
 








Hopefully he’s gone sooner than later. Medtronic is tanking faster than Oceangate with the new organization structure. Total Failure!

ps- please take the teleprompter on your way out.
 








Geoff Martha figured out that if he became the most woke CEO it would be difficult for the board to fire him amongst all of the diversity and inclusion talk in the country today. But, there’s only so long that black rock and the likes will allow this stock to tumble before saying enough is enough. You are on borrowed time Geoff, start packing so we don’t have to make this awkward. I’m sure your buddy Brett Wall will hire you on at his vineyard…I hear they make a great Boone’s Farm rendition.
 












There is a very good chance that Medtronic will have a lost decade of no returns. This is a very real scenario. If your holding onto this stock hoping and praying it will get back to $100, please cut your losses now and put your money elsewhere. Coming from a current employee; all I see are lawsuits, FDA issues, back orders, and of course more woke non sense coming. Get out while you can.

Haha! Their MD 20/20 replica from 2018 is all over Wine Spectator.
 












I remember Douchbag Geoff’s public outrage over the wrongful death of the career criminal George Floyd. Where is the same outrage over the heinous murders, rapes, and kidnapping of innocent civilians in Israel?

Such a fake, woke, virtual signaler.
 








diversity is why our revenue is stagnant. Hiring unqualified individuals due to their skin color rather than their work accomplishments
Soon SCOTUS will ban racism. They already banned racist affirmative action in colleges. Medtronic and the like will be sued next. Thankfully. It's a crime against our patients to focus on social engineering over patients.
