Behavior at Las Vegas Meeting:

What a bunch of self-entitled infants you all sound like. You make it sound like Takeda is the only pharma company going through this. Be happy you have a job and get a free trip to Vegas to see your friends. If you hate it so much then leave. I'm sure there would be a long line of people recently let go to fill your spot.

This!

LOL that's what they said at AIG too. When the going gets bad, throw an expensive meeting to boost morale. You're an idiot.

Yeah because I'm sure they threw this meeting together in 2 weeks to "boost morale" after a layoff. It wasn't planned months in advance in preparation for the launch of 3 products. And you're comparing a pharmaceutical company with a financial company (Do you even know what AIG stands for?) who assumed too much risk in mortgage backed securities? Apples to oranges.

Be gone troll. Shouldn't you be on Monster or CareerBuilder looking for a job?

I work for a different company, I haven't been laid off and I'm taking the day off to catch up personal stuff. It's rather pathetic any of you would excuse management's decision to continue with the dog-and-pony show in Vegas. Meetings can be rescheduled and deposits either refunded or held for a later date. That's what they should have done in light of the ambush layoff. You're still an idiot :).

And the disgusting arrogant behavior of the CEOs is the same, so apples to apples.

And yet you work for a "different company" (but on a Takeda message board?) which I'm sure has one those arrogant CEOs. Ah the hypocrisy. You're probably one of the 2010 casualties who somehow begged and pleaded his way into another job. Taking those "days off" probably is what got you canned the first go round. Idiot is too complimentary of a word to describe you.

Oh, and AIG stands for American International Group in case you were wondering. Saved you an internet search.
 




I'm IN!! I will not clap or cheer. Just be silent during all general sessions. That's what you get when you have business attire role play certifications, call volume targets and esig. Management needs to hear silence. That's the only way things will change!!

I'm on board with the silent treatment. I think it will send a strong message. I'm off to the airport in moments. See you all in Las Vegas.

No clapping or cheering from me!!
 




Just arrived in VEGAS! The weather is kind of cold, I thought it was suppose to be hot in Vegas?!? I hope my roommate is not a drinker or smoker!! I plan to be polite but not go out of my way to network with Management. Just want to SURVIVE through Thursday!!!

Good god, you really are a fucking idiot. I most certainly know what AIG stands for or I wouldn't have used that example. I don't see where it says "only Takeda reps can post" anywhere on this forum. I work for BI and our CEO Marty Carroll is as big an arrogant cocksucker as you've ever seen in the industry. He came from Merck if that gives you any idea. I'm really taking the day off, clown.

Enjoy clapping like a seal at your Vegas meeting because it sounds like you'll be the only one lol.

To the rest of you who were laid off, good luck.
