Why would a great company like AZ, that has great leadership and management talent, allow the morale to sink to this level? Why would our great leaders allow this to happen? My sense is that this is part of an overall plan to disenfranchise as many people as possible to leave on their own. People leaving on their own is a hell of a lot cheaper than having to pay out even a nominal separation package. So we have people leaving on their own that have gotten screwed in one way or another and major parts of the company being spun off under separate umbrellas (like Oncology and Medimmune). If you were the board of directors you would want to keep the areas of the company that show promise and long term growth. This disqualifies every TA other than Oncology and Medimmune and creates a situation in which the winners are kept and the losers are put up for sale. Who are the losers? If you are in Diabetes, CV, or Respiratory you are dead meat. Tick Tock. If you can stick around until the March bonus you would do well to check out and protect yourself! The band is playing and we are on the Titanic!
