Really Kathy? Bonus roll out mistake?

Careful with the "single mom" clarifier. You will be in the crosshairs of KK as she has no time for people who even attempt to balance family with work. She has made several comments to the effect when hiring people and has faced discrimination suits in the past. She's a real "class act."!

Don't necessarily agree KK doesn't care about our work life balance though I hear that said a lot. I have not heard her say anything to give me that impression. ... with that said I can't believe this last situation SHE PLACED HERSELF IN. I almost feel sorry for her because of how silly she has made herself look. I would be so embarrassed... also not happy about the phone/internet cuts they made on our behalf. My bills haven't shrunk for those items and now I'm out of pocket. Still am grateful to have a good job though.
 






Was following everyone until we got on the topic of porn???? That individual needs help..... As a single mother the increase in reimbursement to us was disappointing as that money out of my pocket does add up and does effect my household. As mentioned, that was disappointing. KK's announcement of the "misunderstanding" on the kicker is also disappointing but is also tasteless, cruel, and ignorant. Must be true about her not being very smart or having much business saavy. It is like me telling my kids I am taking them to DisneyWorld for their birthday and then two weeks later saying they misunderstood me and I am taking them to McDonalds for their party. Truth of the matter is though the amount they reduced out of the cell phone/internet reimbursement will be a greater amount than the global kicker amount YOU WOULD HAVE EARNED prior to the "misunderstanding" if you stick around Shire for 4 or 5 years.
Seriously, how much do you all spend on your cell phone and internet? I spend $85 for my phone service (AT&T) and $35 on internet (Comcast). I previously worked for Merck and they didn't even reimburse for internet. Also, go out and work and you'll hit 102% and get the kicker.
 






As men increasingly use pornography, in keeping with its legitimization, they become increasingly impotent. You see, that’s part of the pornographic experience; you become impotent in the sense that you cannot function without having images and stimuli outside of your marital—your loving—relationship. “Impotent” means without power, and the male is indeed without his own power after becoming addicted to pornography; he has to rely on the power that’s given to him by one of these pictures or films.

Stuck in 2 year contract unfortunately. Once that is up I probably will be able to get phone and internet around $120. Working hard and smart does not always equal 102% goal attainment. I think the point everyone is making is that it is wrong to roll out a comp plan and then pull it back.

So sorry your relationships have been ruined by porn. We don't need to listen to what your psychiatrist told you to make you feel better about your situation. Schedule another appointment with him/her instead of lecturing us... take your depression meds too. It can take a few weeks for them to kick in so don't give up on them. You do realize half of us are female right?
 






We should let this disturbed person seek help and otherwise ignore her and her insecurities. To the point, all her babble doesn't make the "change in direction" with KK any less onerous. And what's with all the CP deniers - half of us have pics of the PowerPoints!

You are trying to make the point that there is something wrong with this???

Fact: She has recommended people for RD spots based on the attributes of - divorced, single, no kids and "free of distraction, so field time won't be an issue"

Statement is TOTALLY FALSE!! There are two trolls on our site - an idiot that was fired at B&L and a blind supporter of KK. It is time that these trolls leave our Board for mischief on Merck, Pfizer, etc.!!! Don't let these trolls pollute our Board!!

Ahhh, yeah. Sorry to burst your bubble you Kathy cling-on but this behavior is well documented and just ask some of the RDs who were "lucky" enough to get her prized referrals.

I am an RD and have a colleague who was pushed to hire a divorced mom of older kids with "no distractions" as it was put to them.

Get over your fascination with KK or if this is KK responding herself, look in the mirror you classless hack of a leader.

I am not a troll and I am not a blind supporter. Rarely do I reply to anything on this site. I don't agree with all the negative things said regarding KK but I do agree that changing a comp plan is wrong. The interesting thing is that my RD even criticized her for doing it and said "it is definitely a low point for her". They never have had anything negative to say about her until now. When someone messes up they should take responsibility and be accountable. KK seems to not want to do either.

Don't believe for a second you are an RD. There really is no need to make things up on here. Simply stick to the facts and they all lead to the conclusion that KK is not that good at her job. It isn't personal. Not everyone is cut out to be a leader at that level. Underqualified individuals get jobs they haven't earned and don't really deserve all the time. She fits into that category. People should stop being so critical of her though and be more critical of the GUYS that hired her.

I agree 100%. She really is trying hard and doing the best she can. Her best just isn't that good.

Spot On! Just ignore the anti- and pro- trolls! They will get bored and move to another site!

The statement was posted as fact. Read the court case against her and Perry that cost Novartis millions. She does not want wotk-family balance, feedback or even compliance for that matter. Nor does she give a shit at the roaches who come out just because their bonus was fucked with.
