Argenx

Let me ask youare you any better off than you were a year ago? You all complained about KW, RM, BR and CB saying they had no idea and were terrible leaders. Now you have the pharma culture of being non committal, non performance, give everyone a dum dum lollipop with KM, LK and CA who just knee jerk react to everything and haven't solved one issue.
The hub is a bigger diasaster than a year ago with HCP's wanting less engagment with them, they are not helpful and create more discontent. Any one listening to the field on the HCP problems with getting paid, getting help, Getting general answers from the hub? Is anyone paying attention?
HR sucks, they foster an environment of bullying and hostile work situations and just say people need to just get along. They allow the hostile work environments to continue with no consequences.
Non performance is okay and rewarded across the organization with just moving the problem around, again no consquences. I guess no one was a fly on the wall in Ghent and either has no clue or doesn't care that there are a whole group of people that are waiting for stock vests in July to hit the pavement, some already have gigs lined up.
So argenx you wanted to be big pharma, did you get what you wanted? Are you better off? Do you just want a dum dum lollipop from the leadership peeps who have no idea? Good luck all.

Such an amazing post and so incredibly true. argenx has so much going for it but has lost its way. Too much focus on community and everyone getting along, not making waves, not speaking up, not staying true to patients. HR used to be great (before SM was fired)- it was the place that you could go to talk to someone, get advice, and they were committed not only to the people but to the organization. So much has changed. So much being swept under the rug- if we ignore it, maybe it will go away. Where are the leaders? Who are they? What are they doing?

Well anything is better than DD. The expansion is ridiculous and we are definitely not playing the specialty rep role any more. Way too many cooks in the kitchen, but it’s a great product and there are plenty of good people here. It’s wild to think of how awful it was with DD here - could be a loooot worse.

Agree 1000%. With DD it was sheer misery. So so so much better. The expansion was a stupid move though. Especially all those new managers from outside who are bringing in their old approaches. If you think it’s worse now you definitely have forgotten how incredibly bad DD was.

Dan was a real POS - what ever happened to that douche? I need to make sure to avoid him.
 






Absolutely unsurprised by shitty comments about argenx. Tim is a dickhead CEO and overpromomised on profitability on a few indications so soon after launch. Karen Massey is an Aussie tw@t who has zero record of delivering on commercialization. You got what you paid for: Bull-fricking-sh!t. 9000 eligible CIPD patients commercially worldwide? You stupid asswipes!

Might want to check the news before blowing out of your arse. Wall Street seems to see things a bit differently.
 






The expansion is to #1. Grow, but also #2. To look good to potential suitors. Anyone who believes this company isn't in full audition mode for potential buyers has their proverbial head buried in the sand.

A bunch of boasting gasbag egomaniacs that can't deliver shit and have no clue what is really happening in this companies unsupportive, toxic, disengaged siloed work place. Total lack of trust and managemnet undervalues and underappreciates the employees because thie egos may get hurt.

You guys are way too expensive to be acquired. Nobody will pay a premium on a $30 billion market cap for what is essentially a single-drug company.
 
























They should look at how many people cashed out the past 2 weeks
I joined this company because these people seemed so particular during the interviews. I soon found out everyone is stroking their own egos. No one cares. There are so many problems with getting patients started on drug due to all the delays in processing, then all the mistakes and extra delays. Wrong information given to patients and HCP's causing switches to other treatments. There is so much underlying chaos and leaders are so worried about their egos they keep blowing BS at each other pretending everything is great. Meanwhile everyone associated with onboarding patients is beaten up everyday when we delay cases and communicate wrong info. offices locking us out recently in at least 3 territories. if I had been here longer I would be cashing stock and moving on.
 






So your criteria for joking was because “these people were so particular”? Really? Who hires you? They should be fired. Why wait? Leave now and put your stick back in the pool. I need more!
