Abbott reviews

In regard to my experience with HR at Abbott... I received a call from HR in September of 2020. HR asked if I was working in the office, and I replied that I was working from the hospital, as my wife was dying and I needed to be by her. I stressed that I was able to successfully work from the hospital. The HR person didn’t seem to care, but just said “you need to be in the office, there’s no exception.” I pleaded again that my wife was dying and I needed to be with her, and that my manager said it was OK to work from the hospital as she said I was just as effective. But again it fell on deaf ears. I believe this shows no empathy and a lack of emotional intelligence. My wife passed away a few weeks later.

Toxic work culture of managing by fear, starting from the top CEO to middle management who degrades, insults and curses at their employees. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen, especially with lack of diversity. Very little colleague camaraderie since it everyone was for themselves due to top down toxic management approach. Leadership is untrustworthy, and can't stomach bad news (like it takes time to develop new products in a regulated space). Do you want another consent decree from the FDA? Was the innovator of past, but have been resting on their laurels for past decades. Most innovators had left, and all that is left is supporting out of date technology. Worst professional experience of my working career and wish could take back the time
