Diversity

Over the last year the company has spoken about a corporate commitment to diversity and individual career development. The current top leadership is comprised of ten men mostly between the ages of 35-45. No women and only one "person of color". Wow! In 2010 Astellas hired 8 new Area Sales Directors. ALL were males again between 35-45.

What about Lynn Gerber? She seems to be ripping through the boys club pretty quickly wouldn't you say? Would you care for some cheese w/ all that whine of yours? Here's a thought to ponder; but with your lack of any intelligence it may be a difficult one to ponder. Perhaps the people who got the jobs were qualified and a good fit rather than plugging in a race or gender just to say we did. Hmmm

Isn't diversity "reverse discrimination"? Maybe the best most prepared and qualified candidate got the job?

Do you know how many "diverse" people posted and/or were interviewed? I doubt it, so get your facts straight before posting your passive racism remarks.
 


















Diversity aside - What about the dumb jock banter, the endearing nick names, the inside jokes between the cool frat "in" crowd. All very professional and inclusive wouldn't you say?

I find this egregious and HR should do something proactive. Sisters of Astellas UNITE!!! Girl Power!!!
 






You know, I have to agree with this one. Diversity-in all areas very poor with this company. Such a sad lack of female leadership at all levels. Rumor was that Capitol area would have female leader. Did not happen. And also strong female leaders keep leaving bc of the culture. Look at DL and JM. Both of them, two of the best overall leaders at astellas. Both female. Both needed to leave due to culture. When will the boys club stop this from happening?
 












How about we judge not by the color of their skin (or their gender), but by the content of their character.

Most of APUS leadership can't pass that test anyway. Counting people based on their "group" is prejudice on it's face.

Yes, I do know of women that applied for SD roles, so our facts are straight!
 






the most qualified person should be in the role. It seems that women must check every box plus to get an executive or sr leadership position whereas men in the frat club or politically connected get jobs they have no experience in. I am more disappointed that our HR leadership hasn't exhibited any leadership....it seems they think they are in the frat club.....little do they know how badly the boys speak about them.
 






A female Hospital Sales Director was pushed out and then a Female Regional Sales Director on the West coast. Both replaced by Men. Watch out Astellas, Novartis had to pay big money for this type of discrimination.

Couldn't agree more -very little to do with key competency, but how well you can hang with the boys in the club. Forget individuality...its raining men!
