What is the 9,032nd digit of Pi? Depends on whether you are M2, M3, M4, etc.,

How many angels dance on the head of a pin? Depends on how much gov't sponsored research the company has profited from lately.

Will I get laid this afternoon in an office? Only if you masturbate yourself into Shanghai-la

Why doesn't my urine smell funny after eating asparagus? Wrong orifice.

What is the chemical reaction that makes a tomato red, and what is the evolutionary advantage that it provides? That question doesn't matter... what do you think we are, rocket scientists?
 


















HR Response: Why not? We have the time. And so do the retirees. Besides, there aren't that many retirees out there. And who knows, we may increase our bottom line if we can sell more meds.

Sorry about the incomplete response. Yes, it's true that we want to minimize the number of retirees, by "attrition" due to "cost-cutting" via "Six Sigma" and "maximizing shareholder value."

We need to "focus on core strengths" as we "leverage infinitesimal gains in IP" as a result of our Sino-American synergies. The result will be better than Egg Foo Young. Which as you know is delicious.

"We want to minimize the number of retirees"......I am a retiree. Does that mean I am on a hit list? Who will HR hire to snuff out retirees? Or is HR just going to depend on ExpressScripts to robo call us to an early grave?

Hmmmm. So many questions, from so many retirees, all looking for Answers that Matter.

It is HR in name only at Lilly. Lilly HR is the most fucked up bunch of morons ever. I worked there 28yrs took the package and ran have no regrets whatsoever, there is a much better life outside of Lilly. There is no HR in HR there it is just some software called Peoplesoft. Lilly used to be able to make money in spite of themselves when that ended the dysfunctional management stayed dysfunctional and the company went to shit. It is so fucked up now it can't survive. What other company would have 4000 managers with 2000 of them managing absolutely nothing, just managers in name only... wtf! Why would you hire a consulting firm to figure out what is the problem with the company and then when they tell you cut back 40% on management you say no it is working for us we won't do that. Lets give the CEO a big raise even though the company is going to hell. I kick my own ass everyday for staying as long as I did.
