Damn, you bastards work for one hell of an ethical company. It must make you very proud to know the kind of company you represent, even if they do treat you like shit. Trust and value to the max kiddies. Be well.

Say what you will but Merck is supplying a paycheck to its employees, the people suing them and the government in this horrible economy.

Obviously there is more here than meets the eye, the report on the radio said Merck illegally marketed vioxx for RA...excuse me but I believe we got that indication right?

This is more payola to the trial lawyers...where's Shakespear and the routine hangings...we did not promote Vioxx for RA and everyone at Merck knows it...looks like Frazier took his pants off again and rolled over!
 




And as usual, Merck's response.....

"In its own press statement, Merck said that the civil portion of the settlement “does not constitute any admission by Merck of any liability or wrongdoing.”

....but they'll pay out close to a $Billion anyways out of the goodness of their hearts.
 




Oh! We will find a way to blame Schering-Plough for this, and we will fire more of legacy SP employees to make up for the lost! Don't worry guys, keep up with the good work, milk and honey down the road for all.

BOD & high level execs
Ethical Merck
 
















Thank heavens I got my package this month! HOLY COW! There will absolutely be MORE layoffs and no cush benefits on the way out. If you made the cut in 2011, thank your lucky stars!

Well then, excuse me for questioning Merck's ethics. As long as you keep getting that paycheck from momma, nothin else matters I guess. I wish people would quit making excuses for this sorry assed shithole of a company Merck turned into. All of you complicit with Merck for the money she pays you makes you just as corrupt and unethical as your parent organization. Enough is enough already!
 












Read the article...the money for the fine was alrwady set aside. Mrk knew they were going to have to pay out years ago!!!

They filed with the sec in October. It's nothing because it was a one time event, not a reoccurring expense. You will see many more layoffs once Singulair goes off patent in August. It is one-sixth of our annual revenue. We should see another 15-18% in employee reduction. Hopefully things can change.

Thank you oh so righteous for your sermon. Not everyone in the salesforce is unethical for selling tablets and vaccines that can save lives. If you are so concerned with the ethics of this company go ahead and sue or go whine to the Merck execs who ultimately make the decisions. You are a naive idiot if you think the salesforce is going to quit their jobs because of questionable decisions made by a few at the top.
