Hiring of friends has started on this team. Newly hired Medical in PPK, Giralda and Boudry are welcoming their friends from other companies who were laid off instead of keeping people who were working like crazy. Laid all of them off and new laid off friends are coming to steal the remnants. Other than one decent team, the rest are playing games. Pushing the laid off BMS to work like crazy until they hire their friends. Most brutal have been hired in the last 1-2 years in medical who have conspired to having their way.

Is TS still bringing her friends over to BMS? Is it even ethical to push our people out and hire outsiders when so many of internal employees are losing their jobs? There should be a pause on external hires unless they are true talents to try and preserve those loyal to BMS. It makes me sick to think what is happening to Medical. I hope these people don’t sleep well at night.

So folks, how was the party in Florida last week? Hearing not much came out from the meeting from our leaders that were there!

I’ve only heard positive things from a few people I know who attended.

Sorry to disappoint.

Friends? False ones yes

When you hired to effect change you hire people who you believe can help you execute. Most execs will poach people from companies they previously worked for. Why is this news? Are you guys freshman or what?

What a statement! Unbelievable! Go back to your party Tania. Change comes from solid medical abilities not partying. The people who wanted change were insecure sales personnel like your manager Adam Lenkowsky. You should never have reported to him. You are medical. The stupid change from you was to dislocate hundreds of medical personnel and replace them with other idiots. Nothing smart or intelligent about what you did. Same old but with no work and partying. The change you brought is posting photographs besides the useless money spending on your idiotic activities. Stop using the word “poach” like all other stupid words. Use proper English words. Again a useless slang. Poach is even insulting to the GSK laid off stooges hired by you. Go away. No sensibilities.

If Tania can bring Field Medical back from the failed McKinsey experiment reporting Sales or whatever euphemism they want to call it, she earns respect. I hope other companies learn from this and not follow the recommendations of McKinsey.

For accuracy, the head of medical reported to CCO before Tania. It happened when Joe Eid was the head and he reported to ChrisB when he was CCO.

As much as we may like to blame Tania for many things (which has some merit), she isn't the cause of BMS tanking. That is squarely to the EVPs that make highly risky decisions or just get fooled every time with acquisitions starting back with Celgene.

No, head of medical Estelle reported to the previous CEO who was MD, the bald guy, Caforio. She was moved under Adam L and there was no chemistry. Adam L moved her around demoted her to report to Tania Small who he hired to layoff everyone. Yes, there was some weird movement about 6 years back to move medical under newly created Commercialization which in itself was a whacky move. There was no CMO. Recently, they made the clinical development guy the CMO and none of medical was reporting into the CMO. Estelle was reporting to the CEO. Both Estelle and Tania had the same SVP title. From the minute Tania was hired, she was mouthing the words of Adam L. Non medical sales catch phrases. What did Tania do? She laid off capable people, destroyed their lives to replace them with barely average laid off employees. How is this change? She has no ideas, nothing out of this world and no medical foresight but her actions created earthquakes.

This is not 100% accurate

McKinsey is the downfall of BMS and we pay them billions to do it. Most companies won't use them anymore, outdated concept

The CMO here is a problem too. He has been peddling his agenda - think H'bad, LPA1 etc.- while killing programs he does not understand. Very biased but he continues to push his agenda with arrogance and this place allows that. He should be removed.

Head of Medical reported to Chris Boerner who was the CCO at the time. Estelle never reported to Giovanni.

Correct! She didn't directly report to Giovanni but had a seat at the ELT table (essentially dotted line). Therefore this poster (anonymous Feb 08, 2025 at 03:29: AM) is incorrect.

I think Giovanni respected and valued Medical at the table, but recognized it's need to be in commercialization.

CB and AL just see the medical function as a dumpster to layoff more folks there versus commercial so save their friends jobs.

She reported to Caforio, Boerner, Adam and TS

There is no respect for medical whatever the story.

H’bad, disgusting place with thousands going into IT via huge paid programs. Bangalore, Pune or Mumbai are much better.

Giovanni respected medical. He understood the drugs, the disease, the AEs, the patients. No one currently in the C suite has any understanding other than what is obvious.

We're not discussing the quality of Indian cities here.....there are bigger problems at BMS. Please understand the context of the comment before commenting.

Let's just remind everyone of the tone deaf Florida meeting a couple of weeks ago, knowing there are monster changes impending broadly. Disingenuous answers during town halls/Q&A including "there are no changes in medical as of now" is not fooling us.
The off-site was a total waste of people's time...

That is just the total fault of the MLT (led by our dear TS) in a true example of gross negligence with misdirecting how the Org spends it's time and resources...
