What lawsuits did Livia have against her?
Click to expand...
For the purposes of the motion before the Court, the Court accepts as true the well-pled allegations in Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint. The Court does "not accept as true, however, the plaintiff's legal conclusions or inferences that are unsupported by the facts alleged." Ralls Corp. v. Comm. on Foreign Inv. In the U.S., 758 F.3d 296, 315 (D.C. Cir. 2014).

Plaintiff Linda Sims is an African American black female veteran who was at least 40 years old during the times relevant to her complaint. Sec. Am. Compl., ECF No 21-2, ¶ 1. From May 2006 to October, 1 2016, Plaintiff worked as a specialty markets salesperson and an institutional salesperson for Defendant Sunovion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Id. As a sales representative, Plaintiff was assigned responsibility for sales and promotions to medical professionals in designated territories including the District of Columbia and Maryland. Id. at ¶ 7.

From May 2006 to 2009, Plaintiff alleges that she reached her employment goals and quotas and regularly received ratings of "At Expectations" and "Exceeds Expectations." Id. at ¶ 8. However, in 2009, Livia Warden, a white female, became Plaintiff's supervisor. Id. at ¶ 9. Plaintiff alleges that Ms. Warden singled out Plaintiff and subjected her to discriminatory and harassing behavior on the basis of her age, sex, race, and veteran status.

Yay because they cut manufacturing samples. It was a huge profit increase for them by doing that while we suffer out here in the field with no samples.

Is this for real? Maybe they should cut the travel budget. No need for anyone to be flying around and spending the travel food budget when we have zoom. Field visits have been a waste of time and money as well.
 






It should be no surprise to anybody that the FLT here is dumber than dirt. Also no surprise that this company has no future. Get your advanced degrees paid for by the company and move on to a better company. Anyone who remains here and does not have a definitive exit plan within the next 24 months is foolish.

To this post and the recent response to this, they’re chasing binary savings goals. The savings goals or metrics have only one task and that is just pure savings. Was savings achieved Yes or No. Savings metrics do not look out for or count any downstream impacts, such as if you cut X then Y will be impacted.

Lots meaningless Corporate fluff right there. Have you ever sold any product before? I doubt it.
 






This company is the worst I have ever worked for. No planning, just fly by the seat of your pants..does upper management even work? Want us to give 110% while we never get our needs addressed??

There’s a few handfuls of mid-level leaders who are absolutely focused on being promoted by next spring. They’re not hiding it. One last bump up before they try to bail out late 2025 or 2026. So you’re not working for SMPA in a way, you’re working for some manager’s push for a promotion. There's a lot of us stuck in this kind of situation. Leadership is burning through their staff.

The pharma job market is terrible at the moment, so the play is to force through a promotion in the next 6 months, and wait it out or standby for the job market to get better.

Heart Head Hustle! What an idiotic quote! Mike’s favorite phrase from his couch eating bon bons! He is super proud he made it 1/2 way up a fake Mt Everest! Good Job Mike! You almost succeeded at completing one goal! His three female minions are beyond a joke! They don’t know anything about targeting, quotas, sales, leadership, motivation etc…. They do know how to tell people off! But Mike is a bully so even if they had any sense they would never be able to make change and challenge the Italian Stallion!
Maybe Kenton can clean house and actually hire quality, gifted and talented leaders not all the S Clan lack luster jerks they keep
Promoting! If you stay employed
Long enough on the SMPA titanic you will get promoted if you are part of the S cult! And if you are not effective and lazy you have a job until you retire!

People jumping ship everyday and leadership and HR lying to senior leaders like Kenton on why they are leaving! Kenton, please stop letting people abuse, demotivate, ignore, disrupt, destroy and throw road blocks at your people!
There are some great people and products left at SMPA. Where is Waldo? Wait no where is Kenton? Wake up! And wear your life preserver your leadership team took all of the life rafts!

HR is pleased with a 60 percent response rate? Bet the results for anyone under MD leadership in MSPEC or WH were below 30 percent on everything that was asked. Jen making calls is a joke when she doesn’t listen, blames her mgrs and doesn’t have the capacity to care for people. Keep beating us down.

HR is pleased with their 60% of all employees survey results and they want to have the same leadership that drove the bus off the cliff handle the changes needed to address those issues and make employees happy! I think 60% of the people saying the company is a mess is actually a great number! What are the other 40% who are totally disengaged saying? “Thank you for my paycheck and I will
continue to do nothing for the poor leadership here! I am halfway out the door and totally checked out”
Hey Leadership have more Town Halls to try to convince yourself that you don’t see what’s happening!
 






Great way to sum up the SUNOVION CULT! Hysterical! Who are these people? Bottom of the barrel managers and leaders! Ask Jenn R what Myfembree does, its mechanism of action, how it fits into the physicians’ treatment options, ask her to have Mike help her with the answers that should keep them busy for 6 months, tongues tied! Maybe that’s what they have been so busy doing instead of leading the WH franchise to success! Get to work loooooooooosers oh I mean leaders!
