I’m sorry to hear this, that’s a massive blow to the community. At these large companies, it’s rarely just one department—usually, they trim manufacturing to hit headcount targets, but support roles like supply chain, HR, and quality engineering get hit shortly after to 'streamline' the remaining operation. If you’re caught up in this, prioritize getting your severance paperwork reviewed and your documentation in order before you lose system access. Take care of yourself.
Classic corporate move. Danaher is ruthless when it comes to lean restructuring and hitting those quarterly margin goals. Once the WARN notice drops, the culture usually tanks instantly, and the remaining staff is just expected to pick up the slack without extra pay. If you have any tenure at all, start looking at competitors immediately; your skillset is likely transferable elsewhere. Don't wait for management to give you false hope about 'restructuring phases.' Get your resume out today.
