More Layoffs

[Anonymous]

Heard late yesterday that there were over 50 people let go primarily from the Managed Care area. All regional account managers and all of the government affairs team. Rochentech is so stupid in letting these folks go. Most are very tenured and have great experience and can not be replaced with younger/cheaper people. The end of Genentech is in sight. You could see the end when Leiginger was hired 6-7 years ago. Way past time for him to get cut.

Doesn't bode well for the FRM's does it.

I agree. If the folks calling on DoD and the VA are cut loose, the FRM position seems like a very risky place to be. Of course with the track record at Genentech, everyone is at risk.

You sound surprised you dolts!
GNE is gone, yes remember the good ol days... the economy has shifted.
Why should Roche hold onto these people?
Its not the goverment!
There was too much fat there anyway, especially sales!

Heard from a source inside that the FRM teams are next on the chopping block. Expect 50% reduction in numbers/consolidation of product responsibility.

You are wrong. Expect FRM role to expand. Need more FRM's and less sales people.

KK is sharpening her saw...Word is the various brand teams are not happy with the return on their investment to fund these dysfunctional FRM groups.

Wrong, sales people can do the role of the FRM's!

Yeah right. That's hilarious. That's why you need BoB 101,201, 301 and on and on. Sales people can't find a way to get into offices let alone spell Access Solutions. FRM's are the only ones welcomed in offices anymore--- with a red carpet.

Most FRM's don't do much and are pretty much a joke. In some franchaises they don't do anything. Sounds like management knows this and is taking action.

Genentech never had a layoff in over 30 years. Roche comes in and it happens immediately.
Two things you can count on in the Fall....College Football and layoffs at Genentech! Get used to it.

Which managers got cut in the lastest round of laypoffs? I am sure that some in both the inside and outside felt the cuts.

"Genentech never had a layoff" but did Avastin ever have problems with Breast? Did Khurem ever run two franchises into the ground? Did Nutropin ever become a commodity? Maybe you never had problems before and Roche bailed you out!

Isn't that a little dramatic? Just hanging around and collecting stock money doesn't make you good! Now that they realize you have no talent, they lay you off. Is that a surprise?

Roche sucks? Your Basel sugar daddy's has finally come to pimp smack your b@tch azzes. And not even sure why GNE peeps are upset, you're being protected by GNE mgmt blowhards...just wait till all the Roche Refugees have been run out of town...then they will eat their own. Until then just keep polishing your PowerPoint and fronting the "play/work hard" image and you'll be fine
