Sally Sussman/Pfizer Lobbyists subject of congressal investigation of Obamacare deal

Re: Sally Sussman/Pfizer Lobbyists subject of congressal investigation of Obamacare d

Ian must really like what Sally is doing for the company, as he has no issue whatsoever firing people -- even really qualified ones like Peter Brandt and his leadership team.

Ok, let me get this straight.

Your company "Communications Director-Unregistered as a Lobbyist who lobbys, who is the spokes person with your company, blatantly affiliates herself with one party. In addition, she is a well known democratic Campaign Bundler, whose father was known for and then appointed to Ambassador of the USA in the UK. Father is getting ready to retire, daughter speeds up her Obama brown nosing efforts in hopes of getting his position?


Does anybody else associate "Bundling and helping organize $35,000.00 a plate campaign dinners with "Bribing"?

” (A 1980 law states: “Contributions to political campaigns should not be a factor in the appointment of an individual as a chief of mission.”

Well first of all, SS isn't really qualified for an Ambassador Job and we don't know for a fact that she wants a political job. Second, it would be considered "against the law" to reward her with a political post for being a Fund Raiser.
So leave it alone.

right, and we all know politicians NEVER circumvent or break the law...give me a break, it would be as simple as coming up with another reason...how do you think Sussman's daddy got his ambassador job? The whole situation has the smell of impropriety and conflict of interest...
 




Re: Sally Sussman/Pfizer Lobbyists subject of congressal investigation of Obamacare d

I could care less if she wants or ultimaely gets an ambassador job...what I care about is what her political activities are doing to further damage the image and reputation of the company, and the fact that Ian and the Board seem to be fine with it, all while telling us we need to improve the public perception of Pfizer...

What leadership and stock hlders care about are these things that she has helped maintain:

*No drug re-importation
*Maintain the law of not allowing Medicare to Negotiate prices (like the VA)
*Patent Extensions
*Getting 50 thousand more people insured so they can expand drug useage

It's all about Profits and Politics.
 




Re: Sally Sussman/Pfizer Lobbyists subject of congressal investigation of Obamacare d

In the end, anything Susman may have done to maintain or improve profits and stockholder value will be far outweighted by the damage she has done to Pfizer's credibility and public image with her personal agenda...Hell the majority of employees do not trust leaderships motives or believe what they say, why should the public??
 




Re: Sally Sussman/Pfizer Lobbyists subject of congressal investigation of Obamacare d

hey, just a thought. perhaps we would ALL be better off getting out of pharma and try to get a Government Job....just sayin
 




Re: Sally Sussman/Pfizer Lobbyists subject of congressal investigation of Obamacare d

I hear they are hiring reps for Medicare to do "anti-detailing"
Sounds like Fun.

"Dr. you don't really think you need to put an 92 year old patient on Spiriva, do you?"
 




Re: Sally Sussman/Pfizer Lobbyists subject of congressal investigation of Obamacare d

We can only hope that Susman starts to feel some heat from the pending congressional investigations on HC and decides to move on to sully the reputation of another company with her personal agenda and political power fantasies...

We should be so lucky, I am embarrased to work for a company that has a history of non-compliance and large govt't fines, but yet continues to look the other way and probably even encourage the ethically questionable and self-serving activities of someone like Susman...

Quit!
 




Re: Sally Sussman/Pfizer Lobbyists subject of congressal investigation of Obamacare d


lol, this must be the same person who was on the thread before trying to deny the facts and defend Susman...even if the person did QUIT, as you suggested, there would be thousands more INFORMED employees that see it exactly the same...some choose to be educated on the facts, informed and have their own opinion...others, such as yourself, rely on blind faith in a person or cause and go through life like sheep....Hopefully you will follow Susman when she runs from the problems she has caused here....

No I am somebody else. The post said the person could not stand the situation any more. What choice does he or she have but to quit? Well, how about wait a few weeks while attending some counseling? Take stock of your great family? The issue may be resolved while you wait a bit but maybe not. Though I suspect the original poster to be a troll, the post paints many into a career corner so to speak. It really isn't THAT bad.

I am the OP, am certainly not a troll and have my life priorities straight, thanks though. Need no counseling either...I am simply sick of the hypocracy of management...telling the masses one thing, then doing quite another with their own. Saying they want to improve the public perception of the company, and using soneone like Susman who is mired in politics and has an obvious personal agenda that trumps any concern for the company...as for quiting, I will find another position, there is no shortage of them if you have the right qualifications..but until then I will stay and continue to call it as I see it....since you are so quick to give advice to others, allow me to give you some...stop giving personal advice, you have something constructive to add to the topic, do so...otherwise focus on your own issues

#136 again, well said. Good luck on new job. Take your time looking. Make sure it is better because many of the same problems will still be there. Somebody with your clarity of vision and purpose will be needed elsewhere. Don't jump to a worse job or jump off a bridge. My constructive addition to the discussion is simply to live a little and let go of the trash. Sure, confront the jerks but it is just a paycheck.
 




Re: Sally Sussman/Pfizer Lobbyists subject of congressal investigation of Obamacare d

I agree with #137, the person seems to take issue with the ethics and hypocracy of the whole Susman situation, how can't one?. Just because you stand up for what you believe in and voice your opinion doesn't mean your priorities are screwed up...
