ARI Firings

Lets look at the recent firings in the past eight months almost all of them were unjust. We had managers who choose to look away at some employees and terminate others for their own self satisfaction. If that is the type of management we have with no consideration of people with families and shape of the economy and current job market especially in RI i can see why we are in serious trouble. Is this what we have become where self preservation is more important than the devistation of job losses to co workers and their families. It's really sad amgen breeds these type of people.

We have also had managers / supervisors who were smart enough to understand how critical the human resource (techs) are to the function of the company. I know of a few who cared about us and provided help and answers and direction when we needed it most. And it has proven that these are the type of managers / supervisors which get targeted for unjust firings. Hmmmmmmm, where are the metric mining corporate peoples who are so proud to be able to say we have a set of values which we operate by? How can they justly accept a rating of Fortune 100s best 100 companies to work for when everyone is treated like this?

We had another tech fired Saturday morning for taking an hour breakfast break.

We need some details on this?

The price of a single-family house in Rhode Island was 25 percent lower in May 2009 than in May 2008, according to the Warren Group, a Boston real estate consulting firm.

The firm, which examines deed records kept by cities and towns, calculated a median sales price of $190,100 in May this year, compared with $252,000 in May last year.

In terms of median sales price, Bristol County fared the best, with a decline of 19 percent. Providence County led the state with a decline of 23 percent.

At the same time, the number of single-family houses sold declined 6 percent, from 677 in May 2008 to 635 in May 2009. The number of houses sold in May is the lowest for the month since 1995, according to Warren Group data.

An unusual aspect of the figures compiled by the firm was the number of bank-owned properties — generally the result of foreclosures — sold in Rhode Island so far this year.

In 2008, from January to May, 6 percent of the single-family houses sold had been owned by a bank. In the same period in 2009, 20 percent were bank-owned. That compares with rates of 8 percent in Massachusetts and 6 percent in Connecticut.

“The sale of distressed homes ... has become a larger share of the residential real-estate market in Rhode Island, especially when compared to other New England states,” Timothy M. Warren Jr., chief executive of the Warren Group, said in a statement.

Condominium prices also followed single-family houses in May, down 28 percent, from $235,000 in 2008 to $170,000 in 2009. The number of condos sold plunged 25 percent in May, from 153 in 2008 to 115 in 2009.

Figures released in June by the Rhode Island Association of Realtors showed a 2.2-percent increase in sales in May for single-family houses and a 24.8-percent drop in median price.

Oh yea this is the company i want to work for NOT!!!! Place sounds like a joke.
 
























I used to love my job at ARI.....now I hate working for them and am just riding the wave to the end. This is the worse run site and maintenance department I have ever worked in. Only thing that keeps me here is the money and benefits and a poor economy and jobless rate.

To many good people have already been removed from the site it just shows how bad the decisions are by management. Take every thing you can get from them you never know who will be walked out next.

Corporate is probably behind the firings. It's hard to justify keeping 920+ people at one site to make one drug, running at half capacity with plenty of time left over for a yearly hard outage. Enbrel sales are going nowhere but down, with biosimilars around the corner and a mountain of Enbrel sitting somewhere waiting to be sold. We somehow still get to make more of it at our whopping $857 / kg while the German contractor manages to make it at $620 / kg. I'm sure they have a great reason for not outsourcing Enbrel completely to BI. I just don't know what it is

its cuz rode eyelandaz rock. Dumb fuck embrel sales are up.
 






Just think about it, the site is huge for just one product. Doesn't make sense both from capacity and headcount. The costs for utilities and taxes alone as well as the leased G-tech facility must be off the chart. Other companies are able to handle output much more cost efficient with multiproduct facilities, smaller capacity and significantly less headcount. If things get any tighter for Amgen, they will need to make decisions. The fate of the RI site is questionable and the cost for another company to buy something that huge in a state that is not business friendly portrays a bleak outlook at best. In early 2000s that capacity was appealing, now it's viewed as too costly. Other biotech / pharma companies have closed sites as they were much too expensive to run. Never dreamed that would happen and am still shocked. I guess science (higher titer) caught up and out competed the need for massive bioreactors. Better hope Amgen has something in their back pocket to help make the site still viable.
