How long do you want to be Merck's victims?

The Americans and Japanese decided to engage in a boat race. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance levels. On the big day they felt ready. The Japanese won by a mile. The American team was discouraged by the loss. Morale sagged. Corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to investigate the problem and recommend corrective action. The consultant’s finding: The Japanese team had eight people rowing and one person steering: the American team had one person rowing and eight people steering. After a year of study and millions spent analyzing the problem, the consultant firm concluded that too many people were steering and not enough were rowing on the American team. So as race day neared again the following year, the American’s team management structure was completely reorganized. The new structure: four steering managers, three area steering managers, and a new performance review system for the person rowing the boat to provide work incentive. The next year, the Japanese won by TWO miles! Humiliated, the American corporation laid off the rower for poor performance and gave the managers a bonus for discovering the problem.

Wow. Great post. So True.
 












The next crop of management coming up has to be more vicious and toxic than the current one to win control of the company. In other words, working at Merck would get worst. If you are a few years away from retirement, I hope you can sweat it without going to the insane asylum before that. If you are nowhere near that option, remember Merck will not get better. The current management is a reflection of the generation where symbolism over substance. I will repeat this one more as a tenured rep I have worked with many of them. They all broke more company policies, stabbed more people, hurt more human beings as they climb up the ladder. In their mind it is the right thing to do. In a way I pity them. I am sure some of them realize having that big paycheck, fancy title, large coveted office ultimately mean nothing. You can't take them to the grave.
