April 2014 Development Layoffs













Rebadging! But let it be of comfort no CRO badge will shame you as a Novartis badge.

Be careful what you wish for - NVS provided nice compensation packages for years (base, bonus, benefits, pension/401k-match etc) - CROs are cut-throat, nasty, unstable, and generally employ the cheapest possible resources - and job security is NIL

They wouldn't take the overpaid loser we have in Development anyway.
 












Unless you want people who are great in bullying, throwing people under the bus, selling each other down the river, cut throats, piss territories, bride sites and falsify data.

Nothing that huge cuts won't wring from an organization and nothing that a few years on unemployment won't remove from an individual. Sad that it has come to this but typical of a large sprawling corp that isn't well managed or led. You can find many examples of this in HBR.
 




Jiminez is making a big mistake banking on Hyderabad for setting up an expanded NVS base for IT etc. - he may not know that Hyderabad is getting split in half as we speak due to political redistricting - expect huge riots and curfews for next few years

Jimi is the man proud to have invented the reverse ketchup bottle .... Now he moves development to the country that infringes Novartis' patents.
Not the man to expect much strategic thinking off...

The reverse ketchup bottle added more value than all of Development. Pharma is general is fat, dumb and lazy and has been living off of govt subsidizes so long you have forgotten what real work is like.

Ironic that one of the most significant industries prospering under govt subsidies, big pharma, is forced to start changing under a US President whose opponents call "Socialist".

if novartis wants to increase its top and bottom lines in the 1.2 billion patient market of india, then it will place the indians into the employment basket or it will get the hose again.

You mean like in Europe? They didn't nationalize it there they just made medicine there single payer and now they get the same or better results than we do they just spend ~ 50% less paying you parasites.

Rupees. They have clues. There's just a billion of them so there's competition for the basics, you know a shitty job, a reliable power grid, or a toilet.
