Takeda's Vaccination Policy for New Hires???

I work in field sales with a major market competitor selling IG products, have an advanced science degree/masters degree, and was ready to interview for a Primary Immunodeficiency role with Takeda, when I found about their covid-19 vaccine policy. I have been, and am currently working with a medical exemption from the vaccination due to documented allergic reactions to vaccines. I have had this my entire life, it's been in my medical file since early childhood.

Takeda will hire me, but only allow me to work from home for 90 days at a time, with periodic 90 day reviews to see if I'm causing "undue harm" (costing them more money than I'm worth) to their organization while working from home? This sounds like workplace discrimination against those who cannot take the vaccine by NO FAULT of their own.

What an amazing and stupid thing for a company to do! WOW

Yes, extremely talented people have been forced out of this organization because of the stupid policy. But they are following some very thin legal line and you can go on disability until the 98th day until you cause undue harm. Do yourself a favor and walk away now

I am one of the few people that work in the Cambridge office that doesn’t hate the sales force. I was hired during Covid and I am already looking for another job. Be wise and don’t bother with Takeda. I was jabbed by choice prior to being hired but this rule is only for sales. The company forced field sales to get jabbed despite some having proof of already having Covid and no medical exceptions were given at all. Many people left, but many took the shot in order to keep their jobs. Some got really sick. It appears that they have “relaxed” on the rules a bit, but this situation is BS.I have 3 people on my team that aren’t vaccinated and nobody cares. It really seems like it’s all for show and to reduce headcount in sales.
Besides that, PDT sales leadership appears totally draconian.They will use your situation to eventually fire you. You would be wise to look somewhere else. Best of luck but take this as a sign that this hell hole isn’t the place to be. Just 3 days ago they fired half of the hospital ivig team. From what I’ve been told, of those that were kept, about half of the tenured people wish they had been layed off too.
 






Count it as a blessing because Takeda is not worth your time and efforts. It is a second rate company that doesn’t value the individual. It’s all about DE&I. They are everything that is disgusting about BIG pharma

Takeda claims they are for diversity but there are a quite a few misogynist pigs here. Many are in high positions and they protect their own. Not all, but enough that it’s blatant to anyone willing to look. Not you HR, you keep looking the other way like always. I wonder if Julie Kimm will address this. A lot of people hope so. And I hope everyone who is involved and everyone who ignored the situations are fired.

It's time they ditch this vaccine mandate policy, we are clearly in the endemic stage. At the very least let people who have exemptions go to work in the field, test or whatever, but stop the crazy 90 day review, pull them out of the field crap!! So stupid!!

Leadership needs to put this behind us and let people go back to work. Several pharma companies have moved on and no longer require vaccination, quite a few others never required vaccination as terms employment, Abbvie is one of the largest....No vaccine mandate from them! It's over, move on!!
 












Fauci just said the Pandemic is over in America. Time to move on Takeda and drop the silly covid-19 vaccine rules. I just flew in from JFK last night, no masks in site, people have moved on.

That's Takeda, woke policies.
 






























It's not the VC policy, it's the ridiculous covid19 VACCINATION policy! They are still making us work from home because of a valid approved medical exemption, and threatening to fire us every 90 days with a silly "review" to see if we're causing undue harm to Takeda. This is harassment!!

I am sick of this diversity crap.....talent is talent(PERIOD) Management should prioritize based on annual reviews which should be fair and equitable. I am seeing a lot of people with poor performances known both to themselves and management, yet they get promoted in the name of diversity. Ever wonder why Takeda is doing so poorly?
