This is FAKE NEWS! It is impossible for this to be true.
Haven't you read the Credo!?
JNJ would never completely fuck over their employees to increase executive bonuses.
JNJ would never put patients at risk to increase executive bonuses.
JNJ would never cut incentive comp checks in half for thousands of sales reps just to increase executive bonuses.
If you're not laughing your ass of by now, know this- The Credo is a monument of hypocrisy.
Think about it- the largest health care company in the world offers absolute shit health care benefits at a HUGE cost to employees. Most executives would be embarrassed by this. Not at JNJ. Our executives take pride- not in creating an amazing corporate culture (ours sucks- everyone who works here is looking for a better job & will bail out as soon as they get one), not in creating awesome & affordable products (we create the cheapest product we can while charging an absolute mint for them and if they happen to be dangerous, cover that shit up!), certainly not providing value to the people who make this all happen.
3 things matter to JNJ leadership (in order of priority)
#1 Maximizing Executive payout
#2 Maximizing profit to increase priority #1
#3 Maximizing short term profit (even at the cost of long term profit b/c the a-holes running this shit show don't plan on being around in 2 years... this is a cash grab)
