It does not matter who is in charge now. The damage has been done. There is no time to rebuild. Roger told us it's going to hurt.

He is privately appalled at what Peter Kim has done. He said he can't imagine what he was thinking. The fingerprints of Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey are all over the disastrous mess.

I think MRL was sabotaged by secret PFE agents Kim and Tillyer. No other explanation for how they dismantled MRL and turned it into a dysfunctional organization.

We did not need help. 10-15 years ago we lowered the standards. We hired family members and idiots. They became managers and directors. Now we have idiots who are managers and directors. Those idiots have trained people how to be idiots because that all they even knew. Now we have no pipeline, production is slow and the quality stinks. Everyone is wondering how we got this way. Roger steps in. Looks around observes a bunch of keystone cops who have no clue what they are doing. Am sure he regrets ever taking this position.

New leadership is coming. MRL will rise again. Once the current senior leaders are gone there will be a new hope and focus. Forget the slogans, committees and acronyms, stick to science. That's how we'll replenish the pipeline.

From where? the culture is so screwed up. If you make the middle managers directors, thing would stay the exact same. It's a tough cycle to break.

This is so true. But, it wasn't just the labs that were infiltrated by these groups. After they were hired to do their 'consulting', layoffs occurred and the new employees were hired directly from the staff of both of these consultants. I saw it happen over in manufacturing, development and clinical.

This is all the rage at pharma. Every major pharma has bought into the Bain plan for business management.

The job is to make money for the Executives and supply dividends to the shareholders.
The employees of the company are just an expense that needs to be minimized.

The company is not here to supply money to employees. Employees are there to make money for the company. Yes,employee costs are to be held as low as possible.

Actually, people/employees are not there to make money-they are to make a product (in this case a pharmaceutical) that is to be sold to 'garner' money. Employees are too expensive to keep.

If you can replace people, like the auto/steel/food/clothing businesses do, then you make more profits.

Get rid of the people and the business grows.

Agree - the major incentive to replace employees with unternative modes of production is Obamacare - many many people will lose jobs very shortly.My hope is those that voted for this corruption are the first to go.
 




The problem with Merck is that everyone thinks they are the smartest and most important person in the room. So of course all these folks are thinking "I am not the problem" but they are because many of them are incompetent. A real professional admits when they are wrong and when they need help. How often do you hear that at Merck? It's like the Obama administration.

These people are amateurs. The culture at Merck supports this Corporate intelligencia. That is the problem....not the business, not the customers, it's the PEOPLE. I was on a teleconference with lers and a manager and the manager actually said "I'm not a big reader"..... Not much else to say.
 
















He's here to fix the mess created by Kim, Metters, Tillyer and the rest of the gang. He's here to reverse BRGOS, the biggest failure and waste of time and money and loss of great scientists in MRL in a very long time. A big challenge for sure, but easier to do once the senior heads roll and people are no longer afraid to speak up about the bs that's been going on in the labs for the last 5 years.
