R&D people let go

Quote






Can you elaborate on your one line comment. Who has has been let go, in ROC or elsewhere and when? Are we talking pharma R&D, VC or Surgical R&D (or all three)?

Just learned that one of the manufacturing managers Craig J left B+L late last year. Is this going to impact the new lens platform we are pushing, and cause further delays?

WP needs cash. This is going to have to happen fast or the cash will come from cutting employees. Accelerating timelines should be a top priority.

This is a job for the department of product acceleration.

If things were going well in Pharma and Vision Care Research these people would not be gone. This year is a defining year for R&D. It has to show that it can deliver on the promised products this year. If it does not WP or the next owner of this company is not going to support it.

should read "or the next owners of these products....." The products will probably be sold off and the personnel will be cut loose. This is the current trend; especially with old dying product lines. A BK first will make it seamless as you can sell off all the products and flush the people, the pensions, and all the other muck down the sink.

Boy the CEO and Chairman really failed this company and WP. Why is it so hard to get new products to the market. What was the last product released in Pharma and Vision Care?

It is the same mid-management as they have had for years. Without hiring new mid-managers expect more of the same until the end.

Let the salaries flow as long as possible. When you make 10s of millions of dollars a year it does not matter if you are a success or failure. The CEO and Chairman are quite successful in their own bank accounts.
