So happy for the big shake up! It's about time to get rid of the old conservative germans leading the company. Thank you Bill Anderson for cleaning house. It's time to innovate and do far better from now on

For the dumba$$ people from 'old prima donna’ Genentech... who sat on their butt’s at home because they had the best pipeline and drugs.

Bill Anderson was the guy who kept Roche from firing everyone! Made that merger tolerable instead of a nightmare.

Was in a meeting with Bill in 2010 at Genentech when he was running oncology. He made it quite clear that he abhors sales function, reps, DMs, RSDs. Managed care and market access are his horses.

But he played a nice rendition of the Eagles, “Take it easy” on his acoustic guitar at one of the national sales meetings. So there was that.
 






All I know is there have been nothing short of a skirt of emails from Bill, Sefan, Sebastian. Numerous town halls and then nothing must have been caught with his pants down after the Reuters article was published but now nothing. Just got a couple of invites for 11/9 - Bill and 11/10 Sebastian so I assume they fu ally will share their vision after freaking every out and causing our productivity ti come to a vault for weeks now. Just got another invite for 11/16 so something IS coming fast.

I remember that, he was actually pretty good.

Of course he wasn’t thrilled with all of sales people who didn’t work and cost a lot of $$$. He didn’t need them with sole source brands that sold themselves and were pressed by NCCN guidelines.

Now in these competitive markets, established sales people with access are valuable. Especially with the mess of primary care reps all over in oncology today.

As for the other specialties… good luck if your division isn’t profitable and paying the bills!
 


















Bill was brought in to save money by cutting jobs. He won’t be here in 3 years. He doesn’t care about Health for All and Hunger for None. He cares about his own career and nothing else. It is obvious when you look at his resume. I agree with cutting out levels of management and making changes. However, don’t think for one minute he cares about any one of us. The call was a waste of time. His lack of transparency is disturbing when he knows how this is affecting lives.

That call was a joke.

I was waiting for Sebastian to kiss him on the lips & thank him for DSO!
 












Please tell me you’re smart enough to realize they are torturing you so you will leave first. So they won’t have to pay you. You have 2 choices. Hang on and coast, enjoy your family and smile and wave. Or- leave. Smart people are dropping like flies. Part of the plan.
 












For those that need jobs- I would accept any good offers and not count on a decent severance package. The talented people will get out if they haven’t already. This feels different, usually they cut and try to minimize reduction or have options to move to other divisions/teams and this seems more cutthroat- wanting the reduction. So riding it out for possible severance/other positions feels risky. I know lots of people that have been looking/interviewing and haven’t gotten the offers so not a great job market out there now.
