This is not a secret! Read every financial newsletter out there! And to think Novartis just laid off our NeuroPsych team and they are now buying Shire and all they do is neuro products. Brilliant or should I say the norm by the screw ups at NVS management.
Dear Shire employees.... Please accept my sympathies. Your company is now finished. The future of your employment is now very uncertain. I got this from your website... "Our growth strategy is to focus on developing and marketing innovative specialty medicines for symptomatic conditions to meet significant unmet patient needs." Your growth strategy has now become a strategy of corporate robbery. Novartis will strip all they can out of your company and trash the rest of it. Employees will be waiting for all the promises NVS will make to you, and while you wait you will be laid off. All new development will stop. Novartis is run by venture capitalists who are not interested in science at all. Soon you will be coming to this website to read about the rumors of impending layoffs. Unfortunately most of these rumors will be true. So..don't wait for NVS to ruin your life and work. Get you resume together and start looking for a new job NOW!!!
