Glad Tess is gone

Former Pfizer leader checking in. I was down sized a few years back and moved on to another great and rewarding company. Loved my time at Pfizer and was happy. I learned to always be looking external and have a great recruiter. They asked me about Tess to get an idea of what she is all about. My experience with her was minimal. She was more concerned about selling herself to upper management and never concerned herself with her peer leaders. Not sure how she ever made the level she did and this is playing out with her lack of getting employed again. She got lucky at Pfizer and that won’t happen again. She was just not that talented.

She was very good at sucking up to anyone further up the chain. Sadly this trait often supersedes actual talent when it comes to moving up the ladder.
 




The problem with Rare Disease is the constant change in direction and shuffling of leadership positions. Could be a great place to be but upper management really messed it up. Will Probably never recover. A hire like Tess who promoted unqualified people and her friends really did not help the culture. She got fired but left a mess behind. Unfortunately, this happens in Rare Disease way too often
 












Word on the street is that Tess is looking to apply for a VP role at BridgeBio and be a competitor. Would be great if they hired her because she is clueless and would put a clueless team together. Go for it!
 
















When she promoted people from Texas to be KAMs in other parts of the country, and they never had to leave the state of Texas, that should have been a clue that something just wasn't quite right.
 




Her failure plays out frequently in corporate America. Someone with mediocre talent gets lucky and gets promoted beyond their ability. They make bad decisions and fail. Along the way they buy into their own hype and this exasperates the poor decision making. She made unethical decisions because she had no talent This is a study in the psychology of poor leadership
 








agree. But it usually ends bad. Look at her last hire. Put a friend in as a RD Secondee. No leadership and got crushed. lost out to the job when it came open and the new VP saw this as an opportunity to right a wrong
 








She interviewed for a VP role and was just rejected by a competitor who has a new product coming. She bought into her own hype. People like her is the reason Pfizer is in the shape it is in. Firing her was a start but needs to go broader and deeper . This organization is a total mess
 




Eliza knew when she was done in pharma. She threw in the towel after she got fired from Exact. These people have bad reputations in this industry and are not going to get hired in.
