EMSA OF THE FUTURE







You all have it backwards. The problem isn't that RKM is always leaving early the problem is that he always comes back!!!!!!

you make an excellent point. RKM is a true survivor for doing nothing. the truth is that no one who has worked for him respects him and yet, he continues to collect his fat paycheck. he has out smarted the system.
 












Richard is a consummate self promoter who has ripped off the company and gotten away with it. So what else is new? It is well known, you are dealing with a dishonest and a narcissist individual. A trait well established within Merck management. Go back to when he was in charge of Academic Affairs and then EMSA. He destroyed the outcomes group, clinical affairs and medical services. He has doctored documents and data to suite the flavor he wants to present. The list of poor managed practices are listed thru ought the trail of these messages. It is truly amazing now he hides within the useless domain of the office chief medical officer. This joke reinforces how clueless Merck senior management is.

If true doctoring documents and data goes way beyond dishonesty and narcisissm. This speaks more to the toxic culture senior management has created. More like compliciit not merely clueless.

What else can you say the man is teflon.
 






What else can you say the man is teflon.

Why such hate for the good doctor Murray? He knew things would get really ugly under Granowitz and he left. What better place than the Chief Medical Office. Rosenblatt seems to be everywhere and speaking on everything. How many times a month is he quoted on Sync? Never mind that there’s little to no results, he’s an Academic that happens to be working in industry, so he’s an expert. But that type of academic working environment is perfect and amenable to a very flexible work & travel schedule. How superior is it to tell people what to do, what to say and what to think. So what if Dr Murray went to China to “consult”, everyone knew the results would be the same as if he stayed here, but his achievements to objectives are none the worse. He went, he told, he came back just like his boss. But look what’s happened to USMA since Murray left. Poor Sethu is caught between his boss and the CMO for a voice and losing badly. CMO is building – GDSAs, grants, visibility! The USMA staff is in absolute revolt. When there were complaints to whom did Harvey reach out? Outcomes Research apparently doesn’t travel well. CSL’s are looking for value. Rumor has it that Professional Affairs is being run by proxy seemingly without Sethu or Goldberg aware that Emad captains the ship. Payback is a bit*h. Maybe Murray got it right!
 






How can you work with crazy nutty people like Frank S. This guy needs to be sent to therapy and sedation.

This comment is as true today as originally written in March 2010 however with both Sethu and Goldberg asleep at the switch (or intimidated by Granowitz) he actually and unfortunately runs the GMA grant department while reporting to neither!
 
























Craig Granowitz, is not a well minded and balanced person and clearly should not be managing people. He ego and his distaste towards Merck leadership make it amazing that he is surviving and doing well. His span of control extends globally which was also the case at Schering under that witch and mentor Carie Cox.
 












Granowitz is an exploiter and self promoter extrodinaire. He may have shut down grants but a lot of the dollars shifted back, paid directly by marketing teams. They have to live with the results, he doesn't.

Hopefully it didn't hurt Saphris too bad nor will it adversely affect launch of respiratory combo. Adam says we need these to be successful. Time will tell.

Throw in Victrellis and I think we have our answer! Duh.

Launch of Saphris + Dulera + Victrellis + Sylatron = MA Epic Fail.

Interesting that a lot of the people in USMA are the same with a big difference. Granowitz in and Murray Out bringing in his version of Medical Affairs support. His view of doing things in support of launches is distinctly different than Murray who was around for those small product launches like Januvia, Gardasil and Vytorin. Adam, Adam, Mark, Mark...Bueller, Bueller, anyone, anyone.
I think I miss Murray

I think Dr. M just bitch slapped Dr. G.

Dr G's reputation as a socially awkward slash and burn leader is well known inside and out of the company. Given the revolt in Med Aff and the poor support results, where the heck are Timney and Adam. Waiting for the relaunch of Sylatron? You didn't want to properly fund the first launch and now you live with the results. Yervoy is eating your lunch. BMS had no problem doing all the things that Merck used to do under Dr Murray. IIRC didn't Dr G head marketing for Intron A. How'd that work out?

Adam, Mark: please listen. Dr. G's approach to medical affairs is doing us a great disservice.
He does not know how to build an organization that can collaborate with marketing. Instead, seems to want to compete with marketing. His past experience as a marketer makes him think that he can do a better job, and in fact he has disdain for Merck marketing.This dysfunction is contributing to the disastrous key launches in the US. How are you letting this happen? As a company, we can do much better than this.
