Speaking as someone who is part of the Amgen sites that are being shut down in AWA and ACO, I can tell you they really don't care. The upper management is in full "synergy" mode, where synergy = (layoffs x empty buildings)^(Stock price increase). We thought we had a lot of valuable talent and experience too that they would want to try better at retaining.

Outside of a few key people that they might incentivize to some small degree, expect that most internal transfers will be lateral movements. If you leave, well whatever. There are plenty of available labor in the big hubs of wherever that they can replace people relatively easy. (Or so the thinking goes)

The good news is that the severance is decent, or at least it was for us: 6 month base + 1 wk per year. Prorated bonuses.

As one of the non hateful Amgen employees that post here, I say good luck. The last few years haven't really been a treat for any of us...

Expect 40% turnover between now and the end of the year...I'm sure Amgen doesn't care but tough to launch a new indication for Kyprolis with supportive care nitwits.

Get over yourself. Launching a drug is not that difficult. It does not matter if it is supportive care or not...all the same.

Really??? How would you know since you never successfully launched a therapeutic at Amgen?

I know your Orange and Blue reps and 95% of them have terrible access to accounts...sort of hard to launch a drug when the customers won't see you or more importantly they don't respect you. Amgen sucks and is a laughing stock to real oncology reps.
