Cook Medical Inc reviews

In 2008, Bill Cook addressed his executive team, espousing some key cultural ideas. I was fortunate to hear his comments. 1. He didn’t want the government telling him how to run his business. 2. Employees with “Grey hair” had value and should be retained, as they had helped build the company and knew its sacrifices. Today, the company intimidates its older employees and coercesses them to quit, before they get fired. The new strategy of the company is “job architecture” and allows the company to degrade employees that provided value, but now moved to jobs there not trained and then, the company uses HR to threaten them to quit, instead of firing them. Seems a bit illegal in the broader sense and not the culture the founder wanted. Shame on you Pete! I believe the company has gone too far in the DEI movement. They have openly stated on conference calls, with no less than 100 people on the call, all things being equal, hire the diversity candidate. Seems like a race/gender based ideology.

Too slow to change and stuck in good old glory day laurels. Old boys/gals club at top leadership are hampering progress. Need to update pay across the board to retain good talent since location is not ideal (rural Indiana). Need to acquire or develop breakthrough technologies at a fast pace to keep up with competition. No flexibility in work schedule until covid struck. Sick days are a joke.
