At BMS, they always hinted at layoffs before the break, so it screwed with Christmas spending and merriment in some ways. After all, one wasn't sure if they would have a job in Q1, so you spent carefully.
AZ just withholds the Bonus until January 30.
LMAO, which is worse?
Definitely BMS.
The last company I worked for had profit sharing during Christmas holidays. Usually along 7% of pay. It was great. AZ should consider a profit sharing program for the employees that help to generate the profit.
I'm no fan of AZ, but at least they gave us a few days off for the holidays. I appreciate it, especially with all the changes this past year, i need a long break!
You must be BMS. If you look at your 401k.com, AZ contributes a certain percentage of your earnings every year to a retirement savings account beyond your 401k. Typically, I think it's between 6-8%. This is far better because you seem like the type that looks forward to it and will spend it$$$$$$
No it was Abbott and we had a pension in addition to 401k match plus the profit sharing which I always used to max out my Roth IRAs. AZ is very cheap by comparison but I'm happy to have a job. I'm certainly not a spending type.
Then you shouldn't be disappointed. Sometimes it is better to be clueless.I'm 45 and I have no clue what I get.
I appreciate the days also, but it was probably done to be able to cut the new databases and Veeva updates for our new alignments, and to reorganize thru all the management levels. The sell is that they did that for employee benefit, though there was probably a required company reason or they wouldn't have. This has been a stressful disaster ever since the BMS buyout, and it isn't over.
Wait, I thought Abbott got rid of its defined pension plan years ago. Those in it were frozen weren't they? Those in at AZ continued to accrue if they were under an old legacy plan.
Your right about it not being over, can't wait until I start with my AZ manager. Morale in the area went straight into the toilet when than bomb was dropped.
here too. Can't wait to go sell Byetta after we spent how long slamming it. Like these drs are really going to write that. Can't wait to see how many eye rolls occur for wasting their time, and then be expected to have their full attention during ride alongs. WHY the h*ll hasn't AZ brought out the indication that should have been here two years ago......stupid dumb shits. Come on AZ, spend a dime or two for the Bydureon indication and some Medicare Part D formulary, and finally do something right. You're losing money screwing around and scraping the bucket for nothing.
"Have a happy holidays and try to enjoy the leftovers." Brilliant stuff.I don't think acquiring the appropriate Bydureon indication in this discussion would have cost them much. They just didn't do it.
