Stop the gWhining. Genentech became successful with roche money. There is a reason that Novartis and GSK did not buy the 100% that Roche did decades. Roche took a chance on a nothing company, and the gamble paid of in spades. The fact is that you work for ROCHE! Stop pining for the "good old days". THEY WERE GONE LONG BEFORE ROCHE TOK OFFICIAL OWNERSHIP oF GENENTECH! "Genentech" is dead and gone. If you dont believe me, please tell me where you can purchase genentech stock. If you dont like working for Roche, QUIT! There will be 500 resumes of people looking to fill your do nothing rep job.

Yes there were US companies that wanted to purchase all or part of Genentech back in 1990 but they wanted more control. Roche had the money and let Genentech do their own thing. If Roche had taken control, many of the products out today would never had made it to market with the track record Roche has. Roche can spend money but they can not develop and gain approval for products. Roche today is completely dependant on the products that came from Genentech research.

roche failure
 












I would recommend that you not get too cocky about the fact that Roche has allowed Genentech most US control thus far. They have calculated this transition for years. Roche has been a leader in the industry for well over 100 years. How old is Genentech?

Anyone in the biotech industry knows that roche is a faiure.
 






It won't be too much longer and all the legacy Roche people will be gone and Genentech will be just as it was before the buyout, completely controlled by Genentech management. It's only a matter of time and we will get rid of all the Rochees. They were not wanted then and are not wanted or needed now.....I mean really, what do the Rochees bring to the table? Nothing other than money!

Just look how many we have already gotten rid of in such a short period of time. The remainder will fall soon and the sooner the better for Genentech.
 












Why do you (people) keep conversing with gTroll?
I mean really? You write a 20 sentence dissertation explaining something and gTroll responds with roche sucks or eurotrash or ,,,,,,,,,,, and you again write 20 more sentences to the gTroll. Unless of course you are gTroll and really bored.
just sayin
 






Genentech as it existed prior to 2005 is gone and will never be back. Even if you get rid of all of the Roche people, the company is controlled by the Swiss. They have people like Leiginger and Clark in place that will do whatever they are told to advance themselves and their butt kissers. The started the downfall of Genentech when they came from gSK and Novartis.

Roche will continue to let people go based on where they live with no consideration for their ability. Some great people have been canned and some morons have been kept based on the geography of the cuts made. Get used to it as it will not change.

Genentech was great while it lasted and did some great things for patients, employees and investors. Long live the memories.

wake up and take a look at where roche is taking up

call tracking, constant worthless conference calls and meetings, lazy-dumb reps and management we have to work with, moveing us to their failed big pharma style of bsines, destorying our name brand with the docs.

You are a Fucking Idiot! Genentech was "Big Pharma" by the time Roche bought it. 20+ years with Roche in a specialty sales force and I can tell you that Genentech is much more "hands on" and big pharma than Roche ever was. You are or were living a fantasy.
 












Tenured people with excellent year end reviews. They did not even fill the some of the slots that they interviewed for so now it is going to the public for hiring.
MCCO is not the place to be in Genentech...get out while you can !!!
The FRM's are next in operation excellence this is not over until the end of 2012.

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.

When two companies merge, there will always be layoffs. Roche in Nutley NJ only had about 3000 people, DNA in SSF had about 11,000. Do the math. Has nothing to do with Roche--its business. Your masters in SSF said "yes" when they could have said "no" to the takeover. Now these DNA folks sit on the Roche boards. Your own people sold you out.

You sound like a crybaby. The Road board is controlled by people in Basel. You really think all will be like it was after some time--so delusional. What until the "son of OpEx" and you and the other Genentech devotees will be out the door too.

You are sooooo stupid!

It'll never happen. The economy will not support employee-friendly companies and your DNA leaders messed things up by allowing Genentech to be bought out by Roche. All your management had to say was "No" "No", and "No."

Believe me, Roche people did not want the merger to happen as well. When assessing blame after a disater, you look at the person who made the fateful decision. In this case it was your leaders in SSF who took the buyout and bribe money to sell DNA to Roche.

Genentech is no more! You sowed the seed to your own anilation and indirectly hurt Roche in the process. I have no sympathy for you all. Get out of the coffee house and start expereining the world around you--its not all gay, liberal, democrat, or laid back.
