We asked everyone to sit through a 10 hour training on safety called safestart after the wires incident.

Keep your mind and eyes on the task and none of this would've happened.

The root cause was determined to be a Sr. cell culture Operator who was working 70 hours a week. He was responsible for signing off on the lockout tagout and missed an agitator motor that was taken off which was powered by 480V. The black (hot) and white (neutral) wires were just left hanging and the equipment was energized.

Nobody is allowed to work more than 50 hours a week now without prior authorization from management. Mandatory overtime has been implemented to distribute the overtime between all members of Team Lilly so that no individual is carrying 70 hours a week.

Good for her. This part of the culture goes way beyond manufacturing.

Where does the BUCK STOP? When will a CEO be held responsible. CEO's, the antithesis of a QB. When the company does well they benefit. Take a lot of the credit. Take home tons of capital. When the company does something bad or poor performance, the CEO pays no real consequence.

You? You get terminated, reduced, downsized, rightsized, eliminated or poor performance ratings and no increase from your usual low single digit raise. What the .... is wrong with corporate America?

This has happened all the time at Lilly over the years! From sales to manufacturing!

Dave Ricks has been the best Lilly has had from a stock price appreciation perspective. He is the worst leader when it comes to creating a meritocracy. He has destroyed what was already a bad culture. It’s terrible here.
