Abbott reviews

Tedious work, culture of CYA, absurd volume of deliverables and legacy processes that consume nearly all available time. The epitome of a massive corporation with all the meetings, pre-meetings, and pre-pre-meetings you could ask for. Some people like that..I did not.

Abbott has eliminated cost-of-living increases in some of the worst years of inflation in history. They are now cutting base salaries for their clinical engineers and claiming we can make it up in quarterly bonuses, which are not guaranteed and are taxed more heavily because they are bonuses. The cost of food and insurance has doubled. This could be the worst case of corporate greed I have ever seen. We were told it was to save costs in anticipation of reduced earnings for medical device sales. As of the latest Q3 reports, sales surged with 11.7% growth in diabetes care and heart products. While I struggle to figure out how to sustain my family at a reduced salary, the CEO brags about the strength of the diversified business model.
