Is it JEN-en-tek or ju-NEN-tek?
It's pronounced "former employer" for the Boniva folks.
Does Roche not get it? All studies show a happy employee is a productive employee. It's that easy. I know they need to make money but they have this attitude that we are lucky to be here, not a we are glad you are here with us, attitude. It's seems like we fight internal things not our competition. I just don't get it, so maybe it's me. Maybe we should all, get it, out of here.
Do not blame Roche for what Genentech has become. Genentech was on this path since 2005 when people like Ian and Kent came on board. Their attitude was that they were here to save the company when Genentech did very well without either one of those Big Pharma, self entitled fools. They hired unqualified people who would say yes to anything that Ian and Kent spouted off about.
Art was a great leader but he could not hire worth a crap. Examples are David Roche, Myrtle Potter and then allowing Ian and Kent to come. He would have done well to promote Kim and let her run the show but again, Art screwed up on a hiring issue.
