Skippy the Marketing Director

[Anonymous]

Let me see if I can get this straight. We hire Skippy as our new Director of Marketing for Provenge. He has been at Amgen for years and only as a Director of Projects. He comes to Dendreon and gets his wife hired, while we lay off 500 people. Some of those people have been here since 2004. September comes and the field gets nothing for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and we still have the same marketing pieces since launch. Hello, Big Pharam here we come.

Take it easy...this ship was leaking badly before DM showed up. As for those who lost their jobs, I'm sorry about that, but don't take it out on the new guy. Your angst should be directed at the former regime

DM is entirely clueless in this VP role. No oncology understanding and he's too busy being paranoid by what others under him are doing. Lightweight credentials to say the least. He knows it and he's resorting to finger pointing in order to save his own butt. This place is slowly sinking and these genius new hires are helping load water on he boat.
