No surprise that, with the incredible ineptitude we've seen from our leadership, the robot is now publicly delayed. Yes, I know we've all been hearing the whispers and it didn't come as a big shock. Through all of the repeated failures over the last few years the bright and shiny light promised at the end of the long dark tunnel is now even further away.
The rumors of further consolidation are likely to pan out as well as the organization moves away from innovation and new technology and toward being a product iterative cash cow for Medtronic. I am better than this and refuse to be denigrated to a glorified field customer service rep getting paid 80% of what just one of the four reps that used to handle all my lines did in the past. After a long and proud tenure I have to look at other opportunities and hope to move on in short order.
