KS to retire in March 2010







KS leave? How could we survive without the nautical metaphors to guide us? Who else would have the wisdom to spend millions of shareholders' money to sponsor a bike race where EPO is used by all the drug cheats? Brilliant decision making. Who else would have the foresight to gear up with 800 sales reps for a product which has a wee bit of a delay? Not to mention the fantastic management required to create an atmosphere where key FDA folks despise us? How could we do without that? No, KS is the man to guide us through these rough seas.

This is so true! But don't forget his leadership hiring numerous brain-dead senior managers to expedite our transition to the land of big pharma. A place where no one cares about results, only appeasing HR quotas and Legal dept cowardice. A CEO that led the way to the fabulous PharmaCode, the epitome of "grab your ankles" management philosophy. Always on the lookout for another yes-hire to agree with every Politically Correct policy of the day.

Sharer is smart enough to know his gravy train is headed for a cliff. He'll jump just in time to collect tens, if not hundreds of millions for his retirement. Meanwhile, the idiots left to run the show will start eating their own to survive.
 












A national holiday should be proclaimed , the day he departs, permanently.

Kevin and company has cost us enough grief.

For those that love him, then go to work (forget the holiday) and avoid the crowds rushing to the beach for some rays.

This really is a good time to depart, so we can sing that post depression song, "Happy Days Are Again".

"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." -- V's introduction to Evey (In simpler words) Behold! Before you is a humble stage performer, cast, against his will, by the whims of fate, to the roles of both victim and villain. The face you see now is not just some meaningless costume. It is a remnant of the People's Voice, which has since gone and disappeared. However, this past annoyance stands courageously reborn and has sworn to conquer the evil and corrupt, who promote greed and the violent suppression of free will. The only choice is vengeance; a personal war held as a promise, but not in vain, for the importance and self-evidence of this quest shall one day exonerate the watchful and the righteous. But in truth, this thick soup of words has become too excessive. So, let me simply finish by saying that it's my very good honor to meet you, and you may call me V.~

Thanks for your vote. Now if we can use some of those words of yours, they just could make great weapons to dethrone the Amgen king. Hear ye, hear ye!
 


































































Yeah right,

Maybe he can lay himself off in that big 7% RIF coming up in March?

Wave one could turn out to be the ONLY ONE wave, but even some "wave one layoffs". It can't go on forever with no sales being generated by Prolia. Shareholders want to see top and bottom line growth, not a bunch of defending news we all can see through.
