Okay, when is more "cost cutting"?

[Anonymous]

Management, how many have you cut now?

Ten thousand or so? Is Wall Street happy now? How is your pipeline?

Is morale still at an all time high? Do you still lie about life-long job security?

How can you DO THIS to your own employees?

TERRIBLE!

Still on track with quarterly dividend raises? Just keep pumping up that stock price!!!

We'll be fully open about all cost-cutting as always.

You must understand that our employees are very important to us.

However, satisfying Wall Street analysts is even more important.

The cuts have not been nearly enough. There is still to much dead weight around here!

Yes, like the whole of LCC upper floors. Outsource it all.

It's Sunday evening, and I have this vision of all Lilly sales reps spending time loading their trunks with samples, literature, and perhaps illegal reprints. All in an effort to be able to get a good start on Monday morning and to beat all other reps to the key prescriber clinics.

Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha!

Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha, Ha-ha!

But mostly, their frantic, pre-Monday preparations comprise: preparing to take lunch orders, accurately ordering and picking up the food and dranks, and then delivering said food and drank to the valued medical practitioner/partner seaCows.

Cost cutting will never stop. Our products are not bringing in the same revenue anymore but expectations going forward are unrealistic. We haven't received merit increases or promotions for a while, and they keep hiring cheap new hires. They want reps that do not care about compensation and are happy to just have a job. Sales reps need motivation in the form of money. Sure we can be competitive and work hard for other reasons but the good reps are always playing to win, not playing to not lose. With all of the cheap labor coming in it is a matter of time(probably within six months) that we hear about a need to trim the sales force again. This is certainly not the Lilly of old.

John has created the "New Lilly" which no longer cares about the people. Even the Kool Aid drinkers have to agree it's drastically different Lilly.

In some respects I think he's worse, how in the hell did he ever get the job ?

He was handed the job by the second worst leader in Lilly history - Taurel.

How can a company survive being lead by two losers in a row ?

Of course BHO is his hero. You always want to curry favor with the main man.
