    I would assume many of these will come from the underperforming divisions. 500 is not as bad as previous years.

    Yes, this is true. ADC will see most of the remaining sales force let go very soon.

    If Abbott does a RIF then so be it. Just business. At least Abbott gives a package, some don't even do that much.

    Need to know basis..... ever heard of that? Why on earth would management let everyone know what they might be planning. You will hear about it when the time comes, so just focus on your current job, do it well enough, and you might get to hear about upcoming adventures when you get into management.

    They outsourced Facilities in Temecula, so they are no longer Abbott employees. Abbott will save money on payroll, bonuses and benefits; good for them. And now, Abbott has brought in a 3rd party for shipping/distribution at Zevo. Some people will be laid off, a few have been asked to stay and work for the new company for lower pay, and a few have been moved to other areas. So over the years, Abbott has gotten rid of any AV people that made decent money, they've ousted people that ALMOST had enough years in to retire, they keep moving products overseas to be manufactured and now they're outsourcing. Most of the people that are now gone, were the ones with the knowledge, work ethic, experience and can-do attitude, that worked their asses off to make the company successful, yet Abbott got rid of them. I've NEVER seen a company that was so determined to commit suicide and ruin employee's lives, like this one has. They are now left with directors with egos so big, they can't fit their heads through a doorway, not to mention their enormous paychecks. And they're left with kids fresh out of college, that haven't got a clue how to manufacture medical devices and oh, don't forget the lazy ones that sit around and do nothing but collect their paychecks. Even the support staff for each department wouldn't know hard work, if it slapped them in the face. They're too busy being social butterflies. When Abbott started letting people go from this small group, they kept the wrong ones. Such a pity. More layoffs are coming, and the end of AV will soon follow.

    Q4 is announced in a week. If anything is going to happen it will be right before up to about a week after the announcement.

    Look at the mess at ADC. Abbott had a lot of talented employees in sales, R&D, and other departments from Therasense and Medisense. What did they do? Brought in Abbott ass kissers and pushed out anybody with a who was not "Abbott Material". Killed it.

    But Abbott is so rich it will continue to buy companies which can produce, run them dry, shut them down. Repeat. This is their business model.
