Employee Business Briefing

[anonymous]

At the end of the meeting Ken was asked if Merck is considering splitting up the company like GE and other companies have. Interesting that Kenny said “Only the paranoid survive” and said that our purpose is to remain focused on excellence in science. What the hell was that about? Didn’t answer the question or make any sense.

So what else is new. When does this moron ever make sense. The paranoid belong in a looney bin. A paranoid CEO belongs.....GONE.

Funny! I heard that too! I also wondered what the hell that was about. I wonder if he’s planning to spin off diabetes franchise.

I thought they were trying to spin-off Animal Health for years

We can make a pretty penny spinning off diabetes. Not many years left on patent but enough for someone to pay a premium for. Then we can toss in the prospect of our SGLT2 in codevelopment with Pfizer and that provides added shine. Like you said, we tried for years to spin animal health off but no one wanted it. Perhaps that is why Kenny was celebrating them hitting the billion mark. Our main focus will remain scientific excellence. Whatever that means

The business briefing was very brief.

If anything is spun off, it should be Ken.
