what kind of people can do things like this. if they have talent they could get something good somewhere else but not one high paid person ever said to management you can't do this it's just not right. no, they go along as they have so much money to lose. they do things a human being shouldn't be able to do and do so without a tick of conscience. bad people can't make good medicines.

Anyone know what they did (if anything) for employees that had Amgen second mortgages?

If you had an Amgen Second and got rifed you do not have to pay it back

Is this true for school reimbursement, and relocation expenses?

you hit that on the nail. bad people can't make good medicine. look at what's happening to d-mab that led up to this round of rif.

i wouldn't be surprised that they f' up with the next "blockbuster" and have to go through this again. KS will get another raise along with a yacht to help ferry the power sales team to 17 countries in one week.

E coli and other enteric bacteria serve the host well. They are above being compared to KS.

How about an anaerobic pathogen? They induce pain and foul-smelling odor.

Ex-regeneron. Rumor is she was after TB's job in PS. Laughs like a devil publicly when slaughters like yesterday and 2009 happened. Beware TR

A director from Regeneron had a smirk when told MK is in Amgen.
His comment:
' she still there?'

When VP like TM gets glowing letter from SVP on his departure but valuable scientists are let go because of his (SK) ego, what else you expect in top to bottom of the management?

Sure is going to be interesting in Onc and Inflam with both their VPs "resigning". Perhaps they won't be replaced and SK will rule over all. That would certainly go somewhere towards satisfying his monstrous ego. Might just keep him going until he takes RP job.....

Agreed. That is exactly what can be expected. TA heads will be puppet leaders.

And so the quesion remains, what vision do SK and his superiors have for the tattered remains of research?

When SK visited AWA last week to impart his wisdom it was very clear that there is no vision. You would think that they'd have come up with a plan BEFORE laying off some of the best research folks!

I wonder what will happen to those people in AWA, hmmmmmmmmm.....

We work away and until the hard things are ready to transfer. Then hope we get job offer in ATO or ASF, the rest get off laid.

What's wrong with this system? Why not be a bit respectful? Is there no law to stop such unfair cold way of RIF in big corporates.

Well this is free market economics. There is an excess of talent and therefore employers have the upper hand. In the mid 1990's the shoe was on the other foot and organizations with issues saw large numbers of employees exit for better options. Abbott for example saw an exodus of talent. I'm not citicizing the system, just pointing out how it works. As an individual, you must adapt and improve to thrive under changing circumstances.
