How "big pharma" is Shire?

Yes, I have. I've also worked for small pharma and biotech. This is the worst.

 

managers text reps at 3am. Is that big pharma enough?

 

my condolences to you, it seems like the joy/misery of this job is very manager dependant. I will say my manager is awesome and does a great job filtering out the BS for us. If my manager ever moved on I'd probably be in the same boat.

Texts at 3am are just insane...

 

I agree. I came over from Baxalta. you?

 

The 3am texter is old Shire. She's been around forever.

 

Leave - we don't want your kind here.

 

Kobe troll alert!!!! Booring, zzzzzz........ Only reply they know because they are otherwise a clueless moron (which is a pre-requisite to get hired by KK)

 

Michael Pearson, former Valeant CEO, was of McKinsey creed. Look how that ended. Look at the mess he created!

 

McKinsey is great at coming into a company and interviewing everyone and their brother to solicit input, ideas and to learn the historical perspective. They then collect all of this info and spit it back to management as their own novel ideas. If the asswipes who run Shire would sit and talk with their people and listen to feedback, they would accomplish the same and at a 100% discount too!

 

Will never happen. This is the Pharma model. SOS,different day. There's nothing new or innovative in drug sales. Mindless idiots spouting the same old BS year after year.
METRICS, meaningless metrics!
They know nothing else!

 

Hey ALS - Seems a lot of people heard about that.

 

Okay, that's not a company thing. That's a rude person thing. Have some balls and tell the 3am texted to stop. If they are up doing paperwork at that time it's fine, but not okay to wake others. Use company email. If you let it continue, it's your fault.

 

Unfortunately this particular manager is untouchable.

 

The head of Immunology at Baxalta, Blaine F, decided to leave. THATS NOT A GOOD SIGN.

 

Here it comes. Shire is starting to push their antiquated call frequency model onto Baxalta. Leadership is apparently caving in order to be seen as good soldiers to Perry.

 

Call frequency is a piss poor measure for anything

 

How about you just turn off your phone when you go to bed?...

 

Overall, the company is run like an innovative biotech - - - very little Big Pharma BS.

 

Not in the OBU. It's big pharma all the way...annoying trackers, calendars, etc. 8 calls/day plus pharmacy calls. It's ridiculous!
