NO VACATION?!? WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K?!?













Seriously? No freaking vacation from September 20, 2021 through January 31, 2022?!?

Our vacation is part of our benefits package and some us have plans far beyond just having the day after Thanksgiving off and the shutdown week at the end of the year! People have different holidays that they celebrate and many don't fall into the company schedule. Kids are also off from school on different days than the vacation schedule too and some were planning to take vacation around those times.

I always take a least an extra week before or after the shutdown week because of plans to see loved ones near and far or have them visit me.

Is the company going to let us bank all of our vacation days for next year since it won't let us use them? This year I wanted to take more time off between Thanksgiving and Xmas so I saved the days but now I can't and that's wrong on so many levels.

It looks like we are expected to work on f**ckin' Xmas Eve too for f**k's sake!!!

The company truly doesn't care about our lives outside of work!

Shit company for sure. Average at best products. Inept senior leadership. No pipeline. Me too launch with no significant advantages on the horizon. And no vacation. Yes this is the place to be!
 






The audacity of folks who've been paid to sit on their ass for the past 18 months now complaining about actually being asked to earn their keep is mind blowing. Get back to work, or GTFO.
 


















This company doesn’t care at all about its patients or its people anymore. And maybe it never did, they’re just not trying to hide it anymore, but I do feel like there was a time where this was a good place to work.
 


















It’s a business end of story. Yo take the mans cash you need to take the chit.
We would have more respect if pops just came out and said we are here to make money and cut the chit yapping about patients and innovative medicines. Alkermes is a public company which means shareholders drive it . Pops is a puppet. He brought in Austin powers to be the bad guy.
No one is here other than it’s an easy paycheck.

If they screw the employees then the employees will screw them back four times harder!
 






So I worked at a couple of companies where there would be a no vacation during launch for a couple of months or you could only take a single week during the launch quarter. It seems a little over done to say no vacation for over 4 months, but I'm more upset that they are making us work during the shut down week between Christmas and New Years. No that really sucks!!!

The useless KAMs better not get vacation then either. Most of them don’t work the rest of the year.
