So now we get to solve all of the problems at Astellas by reducing our 401K Defined Contribution by 27%?!!! We have already taken a big hit on our bonus money this year, inflation is rampant, and now you’re stealing from our retirement benefits? Boy I’m sure glad we have a great Culture to make up for the financial ass whipping we are taking

Where is this coming from? What do you mean by 27% cut to defined contribution? Have they announced any change to 6% + 5.5%?
 






Astellas is reducing our annual defined contribution, normally 5.5%, down to 4%. This is the contribution we get in late January. That is a 27% reduction. They make it sound like it’s only a 1.5% reduction, but that is a $1500 annual reduction per $100,000 of income.
 


















You're right, this country has voted too much republican and as a consequence they deregulated the industry so much that now companies can do whatever they want and screw us over and over again. Thanks 45!


The real truth is inflation is so high under 46 that these corporations have to make cuts like the one above to continue to make growth. Inflation was 1.6% Jan 2021. Having fun yet?

If this is of concern to you, look into Bobby Kennedy’s candidacy. He wants to enforce anti-trust laws, keep corporations accountable, and has not taken any corporate campaign money. Stop voting blue and red. Same coin.
 












We gotta stop hiring PE majors.

Interesting way to pay for the NSM
 












Cut the $600/mo total car and gym allowance

You realize astellas has just built a 90 million dollar building in hippie town San Francisco while everyone is escaping it. You realize astellas just purchased an entire ophthalmology company for 6 billion. They have the employees in the US scrounging for pennies. Low salaries and no bonus. This is the deep ugly truth about astellas. The reputation about how employees are treated is starting to get into the community. I believe some deep hatred exist for the people in the US.
 


















Instead of bleeding everyone with this chicken sh$t move, we need to get rid of the stay at home dead weight.
i keep hearing you add this to every thread but i’ve spent 10 years in the field and 10 years in the office and i promise the field life is WAY WAY better. i never knew people in the office worked this hard in pharma. home folks probably work a lot more a day. and i do not care if you believe it. we start at 6am with prep for the back to backs. plus you lose car which is like a pay cut. we all on have issues with something. move along sir
