Who was laid off in R&D

[Anonymous]

Can anyone tell us the number of people laid off in R&D Rochester and the departments they were in?

It must have been a small focused layoff as there is no mention of it in the news stories on B&L.

Sorry for the people that lost their jobs. I wonder how many more under the radar layoffs will occur in the future. Maybe the B&L employees should tell Chuck Schumer about them as NY state has given Valeant a number of tax breaks to maintain jobs in Rochester and they are quietly letting people go without apparently informing the D&C or NY state.

Governor Cuomo should dispatch a rapid response team to manage the layoffs.

The layoffs weren't just in Rochester. At least 2 people from St. Louis are now looking for new jobs.

Two people? Is that what you're saying got payed off?

Are you high? Payed off? I'm pretty sure the other poster was just explaining there's more to Bausch & Lomb than Rochester. I seriously doubt New York politicians would give a moment's thought to jobs in Missouri, or at any other facility on the planet affected by lay-offs (not pay-offs).

Layed off. My auto correct has a very odd sense of humor.

I wonder if this layoff will be it for a while in R&D. Seems like there is not much left to do any serious product development. Just maintain current products.

Are you guys brain dead? R&D is a foreign concept to Valeant. They will never spend a dime on it. If you aren't gone yet you will be soon. Ask Medicis in Scottsdale--500 canned and building DARK. Wake UP

If it did not happen yet, it will happen this year or next.

There will be no R&D in 12 months.

Valeant has Laid off Good Engineers and in St.Louis we still have Engineers who don't even work 40 hours. Like ( K. McB) We had an Engineer hired in March 2014 and he doesn't work 40 hours WHATS THE HELL!!! If Dave C. cared he would be doing something to stop this. If these people don't want their job quit!!!!

So you have stuff like that going on at your plant too? Unfortunate. At ours we frequently have people making up projects with tens of thousands of dollars of up front expenses in addition to of course all of the wages and benefits paid to the project teams to attempt to take out mere fractions of cost that will take years to recover or break even. Smoke and mirrors and funny finance math.
