Believe

We supposed to believe AZ when we were told at Bristol that BMS was still interested in diabetes after the announcement of BMS pulling out of research in diabetes and they were already selling the sales force to AZ as they were speaking. Believe, Believe, Believe. AZ and BMS will obviously tell us fools to believe anything

The only thing you should believe is that you'll need to dust off your resume.

This is such bullshit. Does AZ or BMS really think anyone is going to work before we get the offer letters?

The deal for AZ to "buyout" BMS was part of the ORIGINAL deal to collaborate selling the various diabetes drugs. It was portrayed to the investment world as something of a recent development. All BS of course. The deal was a good one for BMS. AZ is a nightmare of a company to work for, I know because I used to work there! Another thing, with 4100 of BMS reps joining AZ, how many total reps do they have now? It has to be the largest in the industry. If ever a company need to have a massive layoff, it's AZ.

Good point. With the addition of 4100 reps AZ will most certainly have the biggest sales force in the industry, yet at the same time it is probably facing the biggest patent cliff.

Money: AZ giving you your paycheck, bonus, retirement, Health care...NOW go out and do the best you can. Some days will be better than others. It is a great job, and yes it can be a PIA sometimes. So the bottom line is, if you don't like, work somewhere else..
