Back to the Office!!



















Yup great - return to the office so productivity can be reduced and we work even more hours to make up for the mindless chit chat again. Excited to lose more hours of my life!!!
The face to face collaboration and team building is imporant to maintain our culture and the success of our work...we are not a virtual company
 


















We are a virtual company in the sense that if we didn't show up, no one would notice or care other
than the free lunch...

we have virtual scientists who have been doing virtual experiments for the last year and half and collecting real paychecks, only slightly different than before when conducting real experiments yielding virtual value as K carries all

We have world class research scientists, need them back in the lab before we lose them
 
























Does Merck have a flexible work from home policy or is everyone required to be back in the office?

We get to work from home!

This company is the best! I turn my computer on and open up word…. I cram a paperclip in the keyboard just so the input key is pressed down… I walk away and do whatever I want for the rest of the day.

this is the easiest job I’ve ever had.

I love MRL!!!!
