Is it called the "mood tunnel" at Beckman or ILS?

Think it's now called the 'mood tunnel'

I heard the head office asked, but the troops threatened to mutiny and upset the Beckman acquisition. CR got what she deserved ...millions of dollars when CLDA was finally acquired, she never needed the overpriced are that Icoria wated their IPO money on

what happened to all the expensive art that was left from the Icoria acquisition?

Don't know about most of it but I do remember hearing that CR in Newton wanted some sent to her, probably at her house. She was always known as a bully and getting what she wanted.

"Associates are our most valued assets."

"We're passionate about retaining, developing and recruiting the best talent available."

But...we don't trust you so we will spy on you, eavesdrop on your conversations and best of all make you use a biometric finger swipe to verify you were at work..good times.

You forgot these ones:

"Associates are our most valued assets."

"We're passionate about retaining, developing and recruiting the best talent available."

Not everyone is right for Danaher. You got that right!!
They only like sheeple. Those who are easily manipulated, don't ask any questions and say thank you after they get kicked in their ass.
That is the kind of associates that find themselves comfortable with DBS Danaher bullshit system,
Every body agreed baaaaaaa, baaaaaaa

Repeat after me:

I will only go up on the Mood Elevator

We`re better together

Employee Engagement is a good thing and I am Engaged

Innovation is our way of Life

Not everyone is right for Danaher

Whatever happened here after ILS purchased the remnants of BCG Morrisville? Rumor has it things are not good and employees are just sitting around waiting for the inevitable....again!

not more crappy news.

Same people and it still sucks! And looks like they will be closing all over again...daf...

Hopefully they removed the management or the scene will be replayed again.

ILS

Did someone buy the Morrisville facility and some of the services?

I'm sitting here laughing at all this because BCG management treated its employees like crap. Time clock vs salary and salary won each time with their two hour lunches and the unique ability to hover around corners to observe your time clock usage for your lunch! Finding it hilarious for those who bought new cars and other big purchases last year thinking the ship would not sink. Just glad I left before that Titanic hit the iceberg. Just because you lasted through 4 or 5 previous buyouts...actually meant your luck would eventually run out....I guess some of you (management) know how it feels not to have a job now. I hope the full time hourly obtained nice severances for this. Today we can finally say goodbye to Cogenics/BCG RIP 01-May-12.

Their corporate rats & managers are trading seats on the titanic scurrying to survive whilst they mess over all the good, once loyal workers

Look, its just time to cut your losses. BEC has moved on and so should you, and you, and you in the chair - especially you!

I'm sure Danaher is going to have to make the decision to cut their losses soon -its like a sinking ship full of tortured souls. Really sad.

It will be the Danvers site just give it time. Employees leaving all the time, poor management and not enough experienced talent to sustain operations.

Its disappointing whats happend to BC.What else is going to close under Danaher.

I'm x-BCI. It's a huge disappointment and devastating for many but I suggest everyone put their energy toward their families and their future. Your well being is what matters, not BCI! HOO-RAY!

As I sit here reading, and writing this, the really sad thing is being old enough and with BCI long enough to watch the slogans recycle. With all the design control, regulatory and FDA compliance changes, it won't be long before some idiot will come up the:

"POWER OF PROCESS!"

that will see us through!!!! (gag, choke, puke) My bad, Guess that idiot be me...
......................
Employee engagement...complete and total waste of time.

Mood elevator...WTF, who's bright idea was this? It just gave employees something to have fun with.

We`re better together...again, who's bright idea was this? My guess is the "genius" who came up with the mood elevator.

.........instead of a good management .....

Who is crazy company thinking of buying the pieces that are left?

Now it is: We are better without you!!!!

We're Better Together --- Right???

You don't hear anything about the "mood elevator" anymore because they know the mood. The "elevator" is broken, stuck at the bottom.

Hopefully there is an escape hatch in this "elevator" for the Morrisville employees.

You don't hear anything about the "mood elevator" anymore because they know the mood. The "elevator" is broken, stuck at the bottom.

We don't hear about the "Mood Elevator" anymore. I don't think Danaher cares about our mood. They just keep telling us how great their systems are and how wonderful everything is going now that we are part of the collective. "Resistance is Futile"

and what kind of effect will that have on my mood elevator?

Why? What is there to acquire? Customers will be all gone.

Perkin elm. Is believed to be courting this site.

What services will remain ?

"Danvers being targeted as well, regardless of what is being told personnel at this site. Polish off the resume and follow the crowd!"

True although, I wouldn't call it "targeted" as much as I would call it poor leadership especially at the GM and VP level.

Danvers being targeted as well, regardless of what is being told personnel at this site. Polish off the resume and follow the crowd!

What about the UK DNA Sequencing site for BCG? Any future?

"What is going to happen to all the expensive art that was hanging on the walls (left over from the Icoria acquisition). Hope they have the sense to make sure it doesn't disappear"

Get a life and stop worrying about the art that use to be, you should be asking what is going to happen to the employees that are ALL loosing theirs jobs..

Last guy (or gal) leaving the building will burn it for the heat it provides... At least you can see the reasoning behind that one if you're cold and need heat, compared to how the value of Beckman Coulter was squandered!

they have fired one sales rep in germany, they will fire two in GB and they keep all in france. Thanks FP. How stupid is the management to keep FP?

"It is impossible to get a cGMP facility up and running, and audited by clients in 5 months to transfer work to the Danvers facility. Anyone that thinks this is doable is obviously not qualified to be at the company."

Those running BCI have some pretty strange ideas on what is "doable". They tend to be clueless. Especially in IT.

No way, it's the beginning of the end for Danvers.

what does a potential customer have to do to get a contact or simple quote out of this company???

Can anyone name a single acquisition by Beckman (especially during the SG era) that was beneficial to the acquired company OR Beckman?

Lots of wasted capital that could have been used for R&D. Lots of jobs lost that ruined the lives of many employees through no fault of theirs.

--------------------
But executive management gave themselves $100,000 bonuses for each acquisition, congratulating themselves for brilliant strategic thinking.

The acquisitions were beneficial to Beckman executives, not to anyone else.

Essentially they are closing all the businesses they acquired from Cogenics. Nice move Beckman. You just spent $15M for nothing. What a laughable company!

The BCG management does not understand the business. Danvers will follow Morrisville. Danaher! Don't you see?

So true especially with JR running it.
