That's a really odd book you have. The only people that find him okay are the incompetent box ticking yes men (and woman) that he protects. Anyone that dares to challenge the party line or actually put science above metrics is crushed. Most rational folk that have a clue about how drugs are discovered look forward to the day this crowd is kicked to the curb like bad rubbish.

Amen! When is rubbish day? If pattern keeps looks Tuesday. Maybe Fat Tuesday will be the bigggest rollout!
 


















We did reinvent R&D. We stopped throwing out billions of dollars at those r*****s and bought other companies. The real cuts will happen in R&D this year. Do you think we needed those companies for any other reasons? It was a straight up intellectual property grab. We needed better scientists. They would never come here. The best thing was to buy them. Perlmutter saw shocked at how poorly the scientists executed. The lack brain power. How they just complained without reason. Soon we will have better qualified scientist with real world experience. Not the "I have a masters degree in chemical engineering" therefor I can be lazy and worthless. The main reason why we are in this position is because R&D could not find a new drug if they tripped on it. Now they will trip out of here and onto the unemployment line. Walmart will be the perfect landing spot. Plenty of r*****s. You will blend in perfectly.

WELCOME TO WALMART

Send them back! R and D is in bad shape. With bad accented decisions. Organon left overs. Look at WP pharmacology, currently headed by a person who knows little pharmacology! How does this happen? Pharmacology had 2 good leaders. One is in KW now, other moved to NW.

What does BMax mean again? How do you establish receptor number in the assay?

Not all are organon or KW. How? Great drive behind cleaning out labs and labeling, knows how to run a focused project ( focused = team in agreement), spends resources uncontrollably and targets scientists who have courage and candor to speak up. An Organization I want to transfer into. Sounds too bad to be true

Actually, all of the scientist from Cubist and Idenex were laid off. Mother Merck knows best.

STILL at WP?

Management 101: job says pharmacology know pharmacology. If job says neuroscience know neuroscience. Let's put a biologist in charge of chemistry next. Put the head of marketing in charge of vaccines?

Classic example of the wrong people doing the wrong job. Good luck WP. Happy I moved on to compete with you. Our departments actually hire department heads with appropriate background. All with drug discovery record.

We hire department heads who are robots, don't allow people to speak up and target good scientists.

Put the Belsomra team in charge. This team actually made something that is for sale and works.

Stay away, very far away! But what would our water cooler conversations be like without? Pure entertainment!
 
























as if a team that gets a drug to market is it then inherently better than the next one given a dud? in this micromanagement culture it's senior management who is calling the shots, so pls give them credit for the one success amongst many many failures....fire them pls

You are ok outsourcing everything? OK destroying capabilities after years of development and impacted programs only to believe the outside does it better? Remember only 007 does it better. Ok with environment of risking it all when speaking up?

Are you a golf buddy? That's a different situation

And outsourcing was always claimed to be as quick as internal efforts from the leadership. Recently had someone in public meeting admit outside work takes longer and they are trying improve. Took 2 years to say this. My department is changing view on something we already were aware. admission the first step in therapy.

What is next?

Don't ever challenge the party line or you will be targeted. Many squeezed out of pharmacology. Hunter protects from his little untouchable queen who is the only leader not relocated with department to her band of crooks. The crooks are some of the worst offenders spying and supporting every want from queen and ignoring all science. Destroyed my department and reason I am looking. Check!

Let them eat cake!

The queen of incompetence sits in her crumbling castle. She squeezed out too many good scientists because she couldn't understand good science and feared they would uncover her ignorance. The good associates are jumping ship as fast as they can. Watching her desperatly try to hire people is just entertaining. The word is out that only a fool would want to work in that department. Tick tock tick tock, it will all end soon enough. At least there is natural light.
