DNA



















If it had not been for a smart investment in Genentech in the early 90's, Roche would not exist today. It was Genentech products that kept Roche alive then and now. They were smart enough to leave Genentech alone to do the work but have screwed up by purchasing the rest. Eventually, the pipeline will dry as more and more of the R&D folks leave. The Roche name meant nothing as evidenced by the move to acquire the Genentech name and brand and run from Nutley to SSF. All of those who lost jobs were not Roche folks. Many good Genentech people were let go. I remember the GREAT days at Genentech. It is unfortunate that they will never return.

Do not worry, Novartis made a strategic purchase in Roche and owns 35% of Novartis. What does this mean, with a mere 16% more purchase of Roche share, Novartis owns Roche......
 








































































DNA was from 5 years ago, but the fact remains that some of the legacy Genentechers can walk whenever the company becomes intolerable and it's because DNA bought them that freedom. I've seen it happen.
 


















Hey,

Enjoy what you have. The concert tomorrow is an amazing event that few companies do... This comapny is amazing, what is the percantage of people leaving this comapny - very very very small!
