Why do you spread this bullshit? Health benefits are paid through the entire severance period. Fucking asshole.

This guy is definitely a weirdo. No wife, no girlfriend, no kids, no friends. Just his Volvo XC-90.

And my World Wide Senior Director I report to, I’m his one report we just sits in the office and makes decks and schedules conferences, also drives a Volvo XC-90 and a Hitachi Magic Wand of course.

We’re so under the radar we’re surprised even this round missed us.

have a wonderful weekend.

We’re traveling to Zuk Switzerland, Saturday for a very important meeting.

Cafe Pharma is no the place to ask questions like this. Too many trolls. Ask co-workers for information. I happen to know that J&J severance remains 2 weeks per year of service with health insurance provided at the same cost when you were employed for the entire severance period. These times are trying enough without assholes chiming in to rile up those affected.

I believe that the healthcare benefits are maxed out at 12 months, that is what was in my severance package that was longer than 1 year. Definitely the two weeks per year of service tho.

Depending when you were laid off, how many of you have jobs starting in Dec or Jan? I know of 8 in CVM that are starting soon. No, they aren’t going to post anything because they don’t want to give up 6months or more severance. People, know that there is more than JnJ out there.

Got a 39% raise at a much more stable company after my layoff lol, I'll be starting in January. I now ask myself- why didn't I leave this shithole sooner?

If I wasn’t going to PC in 2024, I’d have left months ago. This place is the worst I’ve ever seen. No one is a team player, especially the long term JnJ idiot!! The problem is, everywhere sucks just as badly. I have many friends in the industry, from all different Pharma companies, and they are all just as miserable! Because the people running the show aren’t in it for the patient, they are in it for themselves! 100%!! How do I pay for my special needs adult son’s medication and healthcare now?? So sad that a once great company is such a pile of crap now!

Shit Show. Agreed. Leaders covering each other’s asses.

I just got back from P Cup in Orlando and noticed that there is a parking deck at 410 George Street full of Volvo XC 90 lie flats sales shill chuckwagons meals on wheels sales rep charriotts for $1.00. Just ask yous D1, D2 or your local VP.

What, no corporate HQ impact?

Of course not - the very people who run business into he ground are the very people who are saved and placed in new roles the week before a massive layoff while claiming they had no idea and we are all safe. Half of the other TA’s were clueless to who was laid off - yet they were told to prioritize our placement?!?! Immunology is so superior they wouldn’t consider most of the CVM - high performers with significant tenure - being good enough to fill vacancies -

Things are gonna get much worse. The mass layoffs, litigation, UHC CEO shooter, RFK taking over as the drug czar, there are warning signs everywhere to get out of this industry. People need to wake up and pivot.

Someone should add in the number of laid off employees from 2023 - Quite a few from my department got laid off in March, 2023. Don't tell me it didn't happen, I was one of them.

Don't tell everybody, just keep this quiet so there is less interviewing competition. Geez

Am I missing something? I just received a bill from J&J Benefit Service Center for COBRA coverage for $1135 covering the end of December and January. I thought J&J subsidized medical/dental, if you signed the severance agreement?

That should have just been quoting what it will be when jnj stops subsidizing. Mine is through next August. Look through all the pages and it you should find the coverage end date that will line up with the end of your severance. Call HR if not.

Thanks. I called the Benefit Service Center and they mentioned the bill was a mistake. I'm glad I didn't just pay it off thinking I misunderstood. I'm sure J&J would've kept the money.
