So what now/Merck

[Anonymous]

Have any of you pathetic, desperate sad clowns ever considered getting another job? Wouldn't that be far more satisfying then constantly on here sniveling for info and rumors of when the contract ends? They all end, usually much sooner then they say. This company doesn't give two shits about you. They don't even make a real secret about that fact. From the recruiters to the managers to HR to the client, they simply do not care about you, period. You are just a warm body needed for a short time when that time is up you get tossed aside like the garbage they see you as.

Do something for yourself. There really are real stable jobs out there.

That's one way to look at it. Another way would be to see any job as an opportunity to apply your skills and talent to accomplish an objective. There isn't an employee or business that is not vulnerable these days, so job security with any company is a fantasy. The best thing you can do for yourself is to do the best you can at whatever you do, keep your skills sharp, keep learning and find something constructive and rewarding to do. The difference between this company and some others is that future opportunities to put people to work are earned in large part by the performance of current employees. As for not "caring" about employees, I have seen strong evidence to the contrary on many, many occasions.

Yes. This is true. The good 'ol boys club is a very select fraternity and these guys do indeed support each other; however most employees here are not given that privilege. In fact, many respectable men are not even a part of it.

There have been people who have worked extremely hard, torn up there vehicles and this is only to hear that they are not doing nearly enough by a RSM that is chauffeured daily by the poor little reps that are supposedly "lucky" to have the privilege of this opportunity.

Ahh, that is so sad. I'll bet you were crying hysterically when you typed that. You're a CSO rep. The lowest rung on the shit ladder so you get treated like shit. Accept it or do something else dummy.

No jealous asshole. I left long ago, but unlike you... I have friends that are here that I feel badly for and care about. It's called character. You should look into it. It might bring you to a better station in life. You could resign from your position as resident scumbag.

I heard the same thing.

 

[Anonymous]

When are we going to know about this contract?????????

 

[Anonymous]

I guess we must face facts no news is Bad news it means time to start looking the contract will not extend if it was we would hear by now. I don't want to jump ship but they are leaving us no choice. If they were planning on renewing we would have heard.

 

[Anonymous]

I think a lot of people will be jumping ship unless they tell us something soon. The more time that goes on, the less likely this will go forward...

Is it positive or negative?

I would think it would be positive news. Why would they go through the hassle of switching us from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Outlook if we are not staying around?

This is not specific to the EPBU. It's a company-wide (Publicis), international thing. The email switch is happening regardless of the EPBU contract status. That is immaterial.

Okay, I thought it was because Merck already uses Outlook, thanks for the clarification.

It is quite interesting that you now at this time reference "immaterial"! While a college University student I gleefully participated in Several Immaterial sports such as the forbid flag football, and badminton for mentally re-challenged adults!! I hope with guarded optimistic virtues that merck sees this within my soul and Allows us to continue to perpetuate our Sails efforts to epicurean proportions!! Let us pray sweet children for a Diligent dismissal of disdain that may be Withheld by the mercked liters sporting erroneous erections!!!!
