VP of Respiratory will be leaving shortly. Hang in there!

That is because Respiratory as we have known it is leaving soon. You will soon see how much loyalty AZ has for its employees.

Dearest Ruud,

Keep cutting! 3 or 4 more VP's and it is time to move on the the next layer of uselessness! But don't stop there! Plenty of CBD's brought up in the same broken backstabbing, passive aggressive culture to cut next!

While you are at it, please request every brand team member to reapply for their jobs. You will quickly find out that their resumes are collectively void of any real experience, contribution, or success.

And please, do the same with the field sales force. Far too many people unqualified to interface with HCP's.

Signed,

The rest of us

So did anyone else get the sense that Ruud has read this thread? He seemed awfully defensive about why so many leaders are leaving under his leadership!

No doubt senior leadership reads this board. Ruud is forcing leaders out. Nearly all of the departed are heading for Novartis.

That being the case, why would anyone join Novartis?

The whole Company (AZ) is a shit show! I don't know one damn rep who is proud and happy working for this company regardless of division! Good luck...everyone!

Agreed l left in 2012, amused to read all these posts. What a cesspool of backstabbing lying desperate people. No future anywhere here. I still have friends here and everyone is ashamed to work at AZ.
Sad

When your company is built on a culture of incompetence, the only measure to ensure success is to backstab your way to the next level before your inability to perform is realized.

Should've been the first to go. That said involuntary departures last year and "some" voluntary this year leaves this ship Rudderless. We are out of luck with those left who do not have the knowledge experience or leadership to run the company. Help!

HQ source's posts being deleted?

Ruud has another personnel announcement set for Friday. Another leader leaving for career opportunity. Swing that hammer oh mighty Ruud. Offer has not been made to the likely interim so please keep this under wraps until they are notified.

Yeah,right..mmm... Career opportunity? What a load. They are leaving fast because they are being told that they need to pursue other avenues.
Despite the reasons, the fact remains that it's TOTALLY UNPRECEDENTED IN THE LAST YEAR vs in the last decade the MASS EXODUS of leadership,SSLT, etc jumping ship. THEY obviously much smarter than we are. That's for certain.
We're sitting ducks. They are lining us up...saying we're strong, returning to growth. All the while readying the ax.

The first class passengers are always the first to heed the warnings. They have the best view of the future of the company and can are experienced in moving on to avoid blemishes to their resume.

Thousands of us are hoping that you swing that hammer and make deeper cuts! Don't let us down tomorrow!
