Zimmer-Biomet Inc. Merger Deal Unlikely To Cause Mass Layoffs, Upheaval

Zimmer is making employees nervous about job cuts but others are hiring right now! Check it out! (Isn’t it tempting?)

The news that Zimmer Holdings, Inc. has agreed to acquire Biomet Inc. was called by the Wall Street Journal “The Deal That Shook Warsaw, Ind.” The $13.35 billion acquisition solidifies Zimmer’s position as the second-largest orthopedic company in the world. And it left many people wondering how secure their jobs are. Zimmer’s press release announcing the merger used the word ‘complementary’ four times. David Dvorak, Zimmer’s CEO, was quoted in the WSJ article as saying that the combined firm would go through a “methodical planning process” to “retain the best talent in both organizations.”

Don’t forget, hundreds of biopharma companies are hiring! (We know you can’t resist.)
