It's because we are a high-growth, innovative company as reflected by our low dividend, which allows for unprecedented investment in bold new medicines for an aging population.

That, Lilly colleagues, is why you are being pruned from the stronger performers.

Obviously, this kind of reasoning, plus 5 bucks, will get you a cup of coffee.

The layoffs will not fix anything. Part of the high cost of IT is due to the business's and quality's work habits of refining and reworking deliverables that meet the starting (and approved) requirements; the other part is driven when business/quality requirements are based on non-essential processes or a vastly overly conservative interpretation of regulatory requirements. This goes on because the IT management is afraid of appearing uncooperative to their bosses. There needs to be a lot more challenge and justification of new work.

Instead of fixing this bad habit, the cost will be much more apparent once the work is outsourced. Of course, the same IT management that mismanaged things when the work was being done internally will still be in charge when the work is outsourced.

The interesting question will be who gets cut to pay for that or is that when everything transitions to Lilly China?
