Yes the point has been made over and over on this thread: you are all unhappy with your company, your jobs, your lives and have collectively stopped working and like to come on here and advertise that fact, begging to be fired. It appears that you will all soon get your wish. Good luck with that.

Getting terminated before I quit. I am excited by the prospect and would be thrilled if this dream came true.

Yes, the point has been made that you are an envious, disturbed crybaby, who is obsessed with our minute-to-minute lives. In the same breath you profess that none of what we say is relevant to Merck, and yet your panties get wet with envy and jealousy about our posts. It obviously matters to you and it disturbs you. You are hanging on our every word. You childishly threaten us that "we will all be fired", not realizing that we have rich, fulfilling lives outside of our jobs. And getting severance pay from Merck will be that much sweeter, as Merck has to take $2 billion hit just to let us go. In the same breath you tell us none of our comments matter, while showing us that it disturbs you deeply and emotionally. You are scared by the fact that we have rewarding lives, and do not let Merck leadership dictate our minute-to-minute enjoyment. It bothers you so deeply, that you visualize yourself being in a Penn State shower (your words) to get your point across.
 






I'm trying to become one of the 12's. 15 hours is just more than Merck deserves.

My second job is consuming more and more time, I'm pleased to report. It was granted well over 20 hours last week. It didn't require that, as there is no boss, no employee status, etc. I CHOSE to give it that amount of effort. I used to feel that way about Merck. No more.

FU Merck.

Long live the 15's.

Ha ha ha
Ho ho ho
And a couple of tra la las
That's how we laugh the day away
In the merry old land of Oz

Bzz, bzz, bzz
Chirp, chirp, chirp
And a couple of La di das
That's how the crickets crick all day
In the merry old land of Oz

We get up at twelve and start to work at one
Take an hour for lunch and then at two we're done
Jolly good fun

Great to start a Monday humming a tune.
 


















" I was once as you are, you will be as I am now."- Inscription on a tombstone.

Downsized 5 years ago. Severance is around 6-9 months then unemployment. You will not find anything that comes close to what you are making now, inside or outside the industry. When the downturn hit in '08 you should have already been working on your exit plan. Selling compounded emu oil part-time while still on the Merck payroll was not an exit plan. Doing a pathetic protest (15) work stoppage was not an exit plan. Putting your head in the sand, clicking your heels three times and saying "there's no place like Merck" and thinking you have dodged the worst of the cuts was not an exit plan. It's still very tough out here and if you never did anything to exit this industry you have no one else to blame. The clock has now struck midnight and your gown is rags, your coach is a pumpkin and you horses are mice. You, my friend, are now out of time.
 






Go ahead Merck and give me the severance and cut me then. If not, I will continue to do my thing and play the game just as Ken and all of management does. If they don't cut me then I will keep "working" a few hours a week and staying on the payroll. Whatever happens, I'm the winner. If I get cut, I have enough saved to retire if I want. If I don't, Merck will keep putting money in my accounts and my nest egg will keep growing.

I don't know how many more weeks of golf I have left with the cold weather approaching. I played seven rounds last week with an average score of 74. I've really improved my game this year. Gonna try to play five rounds this week.

I have three more days to "work" this week. As you all know, Thursday is always the end of the week for me. Three day weekends have been the norm for years!

Have a great week everyone!

How very nice for you but I would lay odds that you are in a very,very,very small minority at Merck. Most of the employees can't afford to play golf every day on company time,retire, much less get laid off. The rest of you can think about that next you come on here and cheer for this waste of space.

Well, I'm with the 15 X 15 guy. So there are at least two of us. I've been begging to get laid off for the last five years.

And this waste of space has garnered more views than any post in CafePharma history.

FU and FU Merck.

So my guess is 1 to 2 jealous, obsessed trolls and probably a dozen or more 15s....plus fans of the 15s. The troll doesn't get it, fellas. He tries so hard to make us tremble with fear at the feet of some mythical MRK Monster. Get a clue loser: most of us don't give a sh!t one way or the other if we get laid off, we've got all bases covered. We have alternate sources of income and back-up plans...AND we have lives outside of Merck. Merck does not own us and it does not control us. You can keep trying to scare us with that big Layoff monster in the closet until your diapers get tangled around your little pee-pee. But it won't do any good, you will still be a jealous loser troll, hanging on the 15 Guy's every word. It is hard and un-rewarding work being a troll, so you have our sympathy. Well, sort of like a sickly rat bleeding out on the subway tracks has our sympathy. LOL.

I believe that most Merck reps are exactly the opposite of what you describe. They're scared. They live in fear. They're in financial trouble without Merck and they know it, so they sacrifice their dignity snd honor and bow down to their CTL in a phony shower of lies.

The 15s are preparing. They're realists. They live their lives happily, despite the toxic sludge that surrounds them at work.

We should all be so smart.

Exactly! In my tenure at Merck I've lived a pretty frugal life. No big expensive vacations each year, don't spend tons of money on new cars and clothes, you get the picture. But I did max out my 401K every year and built a nice nest egg.

I remember going to meetings and seeing many reps with designer clothes, $500 purses, $1000 watches and the like. One rep was telling me proudly that she had over $75K in credit card bills like that was some sort badge of honor! Then she got her bonus check and blew most of it on a very expensive vacation! Talk about living outside your financial means! I always thought these people were total IDIOTS!

I was sitting on the bus one time heading to the hotel for a meeting and we were discussing 401K's and this gal next to me (wearing designer clothes, custom jewelry...) said she only put 2% into her 401K! I told her she should increase that a few percent to get the match from Merck and she said she couldn't afford to do that! Again, IDIOTS!

While reps like this are screaming and crying about getting laid off and are in dire personal financial situations, I am sitting here ready and prepared. In all this time I've also put my kids through college too!

Please forgive me if I don't have a lot of sympathy for most of the reps here today complaining about getting down sized. You had your opportunities to build financial security and you blew them.

Guess whose laughing (and golfing) now?

We are sitting at 6B right now with no blockbusters coming out for years. Emerging markets and layoffs will only get us so much. Time to reassess the strategy and formulate another goal.

Here's the mistake you are making. You think someone cares anymore what you say,do or think. We don't. Go tee off. That's all you have to brag about. That and how good you are at doing so little. Congrats. Tee off and shut up we no longer care. You have nothing to say and less to contribute.
