today joe targets Medical and high paying roles

spreading the work amongst more junior people

how does sacking medical doctors align to save and sustain lives ?

Joe always thought that medical was a waste… since he came in… what Baxter sells has really become a commodity and he has no choices now but get rid of as much people as he can…
Believe me if you got a package that is the best thing that happened to you…

After the JP Morgan delivery of the material there were talks that the CEO replacement will be announced most probably by end of March

Least # of jobs cut in Jan seems to be of HR dept, most cut were ISC and IT. HST as well, but what surprises me is there weren’t as many Director, Sr. Director, VP levels cut. Shows how skewed this company is when it comes to starting at the top not just the bottom.

Some of the folks who were canned were real good people with great work ethic and history, again - canned because they had to meet the numbers.

Of course part of being in a capitalistic company and “best shareholder” value approach makes sense, you have to cut folks but why are leaders who made the mistakes still here?

Cut Low Joe, Alok, Reaz.
Simple morale improves, sales and margin improves

Surely there is still a lot of fat at the top especially in the support functions and I’m not sure what all those people will do as there is no capex available or new projects… it is purely to keep the shop running…
also i'm curious to see from feb onwards the expenses for both baxter and vantive being two separate financials entities… surely costs will go up across the board… i think the vantive spin will cripple baxter to make quick adjustments across the board delaying ever more an urgent and vital surviving process…

Joe said “I like to think 1+1=3”.
How could anything go wrong with that kind of thinking?

Exactly right ... 1 Bax + 1 Vantive = 3x the cost

The recent changes in leadership within AS appear to be the result of a politically-driven decision-making process from SW rather than merit-based evaluations. Those in leadership roles who did not align with the preferences of SW were removed. This approach leads to a team that fits a specific mold rather than fostering diversity of thought and robust decision-making summarizing an issue across Baxter as a whole.
