Can BMS be salvaged?













All the drastic changes with the New Commercialization Model will be to the demise of the company. They should had “tweaked” the previous model instead of bringing McKinsey to drastically change to an unrecognizable company.
The talents who left were wise. It will be years to recover if that’s even possible at this stage.

Hopefully other companies don’t follow this disaster. One day it will make Harvard Business Review case study of how to destroy a company fast.
 




The move of Field Medical to under Commercial is a knucklehead one. So Leadership wants to better improve by holding MSLs as hostages and ramming metrics down their throats.

Which talented MSL would want to work under these conditions? BMS is lucky with a tight market not more MSLs are leaving faster.

BMS should do the right thing by moving MSLs back to where they belong. This is a joke. Do you want a team with mids? Are you bringing in GSK to destroy the company? Do you know how many good talented people who you need to lean on are disgusted at the controlled demolition of the company?

Commercial needs to wake up and realize it's a complete failure. It's as if commercial wants to infect medical with its sickness.
 




You BMS-lifers are just too funny. Celgene was a life preserver spackling over the deep fissures created by yers of mismanagement. Without the Revlimid $ to carry your lame asses, you would have sunk more quickly into the depth of ineptitude that seem to approach with more certainty each passing day. How many time do you need to be reminded, you sold off a multi-billion $ juggernaut for a JAK inhibitor already tattooed with a negative class halo, passed on sotatercept, squandered the commercial viability of the ozanimod MS/UC franchise, fumbled multiple launches in a variety of therapeutic categories. There is a reason why people say “Same Old BMS” because a complete lack of innovation, and mid-90’s reach & frequency paradigm thinking. Look at the parade of clowns we’ve seen come and go over the last 5 year. If you want to see what I am saying just spend a couple of hours at PPK. Be sure to go early in the morning around 8AM. You can park anywhere you want and even roll a yoga mat out in the middle of the office because no one will arrive until 9-9:30 and when they do its down to the Starbucks for coffee and then a vigorous hour-long discussion on what they ate for dinner the night before and what they want for lunch. Around 11 the tone shifts from a busy morning of chit chat and sending 3 emails about the next POA & executive spotlights to heading downstairs for lunch. Between 11:30-1 the cafeteria is like Lollapalooza. Every kind of cubicle clown is there without a care in the world. Corporate may even have a giveaway table for everyone to help themselves to. Between 1PM - 3:30 it tends to get quiet due to the collective post-prandial spike but close to 3:45 things start to percolate. It is at this time that you better not be standing anywhere near the elevators or the stairs or risk getting run over by the swell of humanity leaving the collective stresses of the day behind. BMS is singularly unique in it’s ability to be home to so many clock watching, passive people who have no motivation to be otherwise. In fact, they are celebrated for it. So yeah, blame Celgene for the self-inflicted crap we are experiencing. In fact, now that I think about it, Boner, Lerch & Tina were all former Celgene people right?
Lmfao dude

Besides metrics being put in place (by Medical leadership) how have things really changed with the new reporting structure? It hasn’t changed. You just want to complain.
 




























Didn’t realize how bad it was till I went somewhere else . Valued more. Respected. Team gets along . Manager actually useful and does well with my providers. BMS sadly has become where careers go to die

Medical leadership of which therapeutic area? CAR T is a joke and hematology is incompetent. One drug Reblozyl is selling itself. The rest are useless. Medical is severely retarded in these areas and unable to show any intelligence or real strategy.
