UCB’s Toxic Culture

Is it just me or is the culture at UCB on a death spiral? I have never been at a company that seems like it’s trying to intentionally kill the morale of the employees.

It’s not just you. No one is having fun working here anymore. I’m sure the pips are about to start and things will get even worse. Maybe they want a bunch of people to quit?
 



It’s definitely not just you. It’s gotten miserable and will probably get worse. Wait until the PIPs start. I’m not sure what they want other than to get a bunch of reps to quit.
 



On the derm side, the managers and regionals are great and supportive. However, upper management is out of touch and self-consumed. The company may be owned by royalty, but this is not a monarchy.
 






Neuro had a restructuring that basically put us back into traditional structure after the failed go to market experiment that they won’t admit failed. Like derm, upper management is incompetent and self absorbed. Promoting themselves after not hitting numbers for years and blaming performance issues on the sales force. They laid off the PLMS and I’m sure more layoffs or forced resignations are coming. Morale in neuro is very low and they do not care. Continuing to put extreme pressure on reps and managers when hardly anyone in the country is hitting goal. To hit these goals Nayzilam would have to be marketed off label, since the indication is very narrow. I’m honestly surprised no one has whistle blown yet.
 









Toxic you say? Hold my beer…

UCB acquires Zogenix and the level of toxicity they bring to the table is mind boggling. Wait until you meet this cartoonish fatso named Andy.
 



Just when you think morale cannot get any lower in neuro here we are. Another quarter, and the nations Nayzilam numbers are way below expectation. And whose fault is it? Of course!!! Every single sales rep we have sucks! It couldn’t be that upper management has no strategy, it couldn’t be that the majority of reps don’t make target bonus payout, and it couldn’t be that whoever does the forecasting absolutely sucks at their jobs and should be fired. Watch. We are just a few weeks or months from them doing mass PIPs or letters like they did before. Instead of being actual leaders and taking accountability for their own shortcomings. Neuro is in an RTE sending micromanagement death spiral and once the experienced reps are fired or start quitting they will truly see what it’s like to not make their forecasts. Almost everyone I know is looking elsewhere or just doesn’t care anymore. Bravo senior leadership. Hope your Belgium visit is fan-fucking-tastic next week.

They have meeting with the Veeva team to let everyone know how often you log in and number of tabs visited etc Micro Mgmt is at an all time high. Pips coming! Issues with Bkz approval has everyone on edge!
