R&D will be wiped out when medicare cuts back on payments this spring. My advice is if you are in this field that you find another line of work.
Amgen has made it pretty clear over the years that research is not a valued endeavor and that management believes they can fill the pipeline through licensing and acquisitions. It is sad to watch what was once a supremely talented research organization be slowly dismantled under leadership that values quarterly earnings over serving patients.
This site is far too valuable to close, the innovation at this site is unparalleled.
There are other smaller, leased sites, with less innovation and productivity that will close.

Unlike AWA, those other sites are in biotech hubs. Not sure if Seattle will close in 2012, but if you had to pick 1 of the 3 major satellite research sites, it's the obvious choice. Our new management feels the same way.
We at the Seattle hub have pulled the wool over Amgen's eyes...they think we really do something and we Don't. Boy, is upper managment STUPID...LMFAO!! 
Why are they an idiot? Prices are so cheap in Seattle right now I bought a second house. Houses won't be this cheap in Seattle ever again.
Ever.
Ever.
We will remain Johnny Wad-like in AWA.
Long and Strong.
Thank you for your concern.
