Relocation Package







I believe there is now a minimum severance package in place for employees

Are you sure? what is it? I haven't seen anything. Also didn't we have a serverance plan in place before they Abbvie purchase and they negotiated it away in the deal? I wonder if any new policy would have a clause against this.
 






















































The word Shire is very ancient and is used to denote a district or region that has its own special administration. According to the Online Etymological Dictionary linguists have proposed a Proto-Germanic asterisk-word, *skizo, as an ancient root for “shire”.
 






Shire made its money off of the fall through with Abbie. Sure, they may get bought up in the next year or two...but lets be realistic now......they tried, it failed, they profited.

Now they will see if they can succeed and if not, they can just throw in the towel again.
 






The relocation package is a typical industry package. You won't get crap but don't expect to get them to buy out your current home (that stopped when the market took a plunge) or give you enough relo money to afford to live in the lexington area. It is fair and equivalent to what is out there.

The company as a whole is the question mark. I don't seem them tanking or selling off any time soon, but other folks see them ready to jump ship ASAP. Good thing is that there are plenty of biotech companies up there in the case of a layoff.
 
























Ten years ago, saying good-bye to friends and colleagues when moving was hard. Now we have Facebook, text message, Skype, and cheap cross-country airfare. So, as hard as it is to leave your best friend behind, know that they’re just a phone call or email away. One way to ease the pain is to set up a scheduled call with a close friend. In a new city, knowing that you can call home every Thursday afternoon at 5:00pm will be a comfort.

Wow you all must be desperate in Lexington, trying to sell the move up there hard. Maybe if the leaders of this company weren't such assholes that ruined a thriving culture more people would be willing. Instead, take the package, sell your stock and leave this shithole as fast as you can. If you are taking one of the several hundred openings, you'll regret it.

Oh and F' you perry!!!!!
