How much worse can it get?

There is no internal communications being sent out about 5461. What is happening? We know it is probably not good news, but let us know. What happens if it does not get approved? Layoffs? I mean, of course layoffs, but how many. What is the leadership team doing? Is there a communications team still? This company is so backwards. I remember when it was a good place to work and there were not so many politics. The good times are over.

What are you talking about. We have been getting ample communication on 5461. I think it has been pretty transparent. Like any new drug especially a MDD drug that has an opioid component on board, there is no telling what the FDA will do. I think we are committed to the product and from what I understand we submitted an overwhelming amount of data with our submission. At the very least, that will help the FDA provide exactly what additional data they would like to see should we not get a full approval. The company has never told us that this is a 100% approval scenario. To the contrary. We have been told 70% of wall street thinks it will not get approved. We have been told that this is a unique compound that will most likely garner substantial scrutiny from the FDA. We have also been informed that we have submitted an impressive amount of data and we are committed to helping people with MDD. Should the FDA want an additional efficacy study or longer term or more detailed potential for addiction or misuse studies we have an ample pool of information that has been submitted to build on and hopefully be able to provide that in months instead of a year or more. And who knows, maybe all the data we submitted will be enough to get a first go round approval. You never know with the FDA and I think the company has been pretty honest with us about that and ethical with and supportive of the FDA.

As for layoffs, I don't understand why you would say that. Vivitrol is growing nicely and Aristada is really starting to pick up. The expansion offers are going to be contingent on 5461 from my understanding and any expansion for Aristada alone is very small. I don't get the layoff comment at all.
 






I get weekly updates from Princeton One for the last 4 months. If it happens, great. If not, move on. There are plenty of good jobs out there in pharma. I had three offers at once last week.

Why would someone say lay offs? Because the company has 100’s of people working on 5461 and if it is not going to get approved, the company is not going to move everyone over to another product, like Vivitrol. They are fully staffed already.

People like you are the reason companies fail because you are in your own world and you think everything is going to be fine. Dumb ass.
 






it can always get worse. ALKS pays very well. Products aren’t bad. What amazes me is the entitlement that exists on this board. You are paid week, benefits are good. Enjoy life. People would die to have the jobs you have and take for granted. How about a little gratitude to replace your ineptitude?

If you think the Vivitrol team is fully staffed, you're the dumb ass
 












It will all be over in a few months. That six week package will not take you far, so start looking now. A big restructuring is coming and don’t be surprised if we are bought.

Thanks Pops!
 












Who in Thor right mine would want to buy ALKS? And for what? Certainly not the pipeline

Viv has really solid growth potential with an organization that knows what it’s doing. Biogen would take 8700 in a second. 4230 has a great deal of value. Aristada is...fine. Not exactly innovative but there’s some room for growth.

I could see someone buying us for Viv and selling off the rest to make the math work.

This is exactly right!
 


















Everyone that I am friendly with at work is looking for a new job. Even some of the old timers are looking. I would predict in early January, there will be a ton of resignations or right after bonuses.

Why does everyone throw each other under the bus? I would really like to know. Why do trivial things get escalated so fast? What is wrong with people. I feel like I can't trust anyone either.
 












There is always somewhere to go. A new job. A new industry. You are only trapped if you allow it to happen to you. Tell the little voice in your head to shut up and take control. Don’t be a victim.

Or file a complaint with HR against your manager. Make some shit up. Get a couple of other folks to pile on with some fabrications. If you can, tie it to #metoo to get HR really excited. Then grab a drink or a blunt and enjoy the show. Things are looking up already! You’ll be just fine binkie!
