karuna deal

[anonymous]

You mean how Mirati was brought in for a Town Hall where they were celebrated and told no changes would be made for quite some time......and then less than 2 weeks later a large percentage of them were laid off???? Yes - that will happen with Karuna as well. Welcome to BMS.

bingo. And now 80% of the company is impacted.

No WARN notice?

Not yet. MA is 60 days. Layoffs are staggered (1/3/6/9/12 months)

Is there even a plan? Who is interviewing BMS? No timeline no communication. Off to a great start

The warn notice is posted. Articles say atleast 250 people are impacted but it’s much more. They kept about 45 from sales and 30 from the rest of the company. That means about 450-475 are being let go.

lot of sadness and low morale...half of the company will never see the launch of the product they worked their assess off for years...Big Pharma sucks

What does that mean?
I was suppose to interview with Karuna and then was paused due to the BMS acquisition

But they will be able to see BMS utterly screw up the launch and commercial viability from afar
