Share price decline













AI was right we will see those damn s*** shares coming down 25$…
Great for employees who will get their RSUs at 23$ in march!!!
Anyway despite all cuts there is still too much fat and too many highly compensated people paid for walking the dog and read the news all day long…
Baxter needs an Elon who sacks 90% of the monkeys and maybe this once upon a time great company gets somewhere…
Not sure what business you are working for. But we are severely understaffed

Maybe too many manual and cumbersome processes still or simply over staffed from a management perspective and understaffed from a doers perspective… surely Baxter will have to go under diet once vantive goes and while the pipeline continues to be empty… the very funny thing really is that this split will incur more operational expenses for the 2 companies as suppliers will deal with 2 customers and increase prices… also once vantive (if they can afford it) moves out of Baxter warehouses and locations it will trigger significant expenses to relocate, restructure or outsource… curious to see how all that will work…

It won't work lets be honest here
 






Joe will hire McKinsey to look at how we can cope with these costs, like heather engaged mckinsey to see how we could manufacture Novum more cost effectively can anyone see the irony here ? Mckinsey advised on the new GBU / GEM structure thats worked out well !!!!

December sales are trending terrible Q4 will be a write off , shares will be shorted, more people will lose their roles, and Joe stays to play the music as the TITANIC sinks ......

I overheard Ceclia say the other day " Joe is the worst CEO i have ever worked for" and yet she flirts like crazy with him to survive.

We have VPS reporting to her and she reports to President , can anyone see the waste here ? We have more Presidents than the Smithsonian.

Heather hates Alok, Reaz is a laughing stock, Piero continues to fly around the world cutting ribbons and addressing townhalls but delivers ZERO value.

Why does ANZ and japan have General managers and the USA , Europe does not ? we are so lost as an organisation its funny i watch the value of shares tank everyday and no one has any answers.i will work unitl Labor day 25 then cash in all my shares and tell Joe what i really think of his arrogant incompetent leadership

Great quote! Joe is so convinced to stay around that he has sent all the quarterly invites for 2025 so all employees can watch his muppet show!
 






There is Zero accountability from senior leadership. Just budget cuts and layoffs for the rest of us.

If the share price continues to fall expect MASSIVE layoffs! Take the package and enjoy your freedom from this nightmare
 


















I've lost around $67k on paper through the ESPP over Joe's tenure. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this camp. I was naive believing in the good this company purports to do, and way too optimistic in its future.

Young'ins: use my stupidity as a valuable lesson - never hold your ESPP shares. Sell and diversify away immediately. Especially when run by an egotistical CEO and band of incompetents driven only by greed and having no capability or desire to execute an actual strategy for long- term growth and innovation.

RIP once-great BAX
