The toxic culture of Eli Lilly


Yes, Lilly has yet to make a dollar from it's purchase of Avid. But I believe the upfront purchase price was only $300M, with up to an additional $500M of milestone payments, contingent on sales of the amyloid imaging agent.

In contrast, they blew $6 Billion on Imclone, and all they have to show for it is about $300 million a year in Erbitux revenue and a few mABs in development that are of very questionable value.

Sure but those LCC accounting tricks miss the "maintenance" and "lost opportunity costs" of the Imclone purchase. But, as we know the whole company is a MASSIVE TAX WRITE OFF and yet we complain about regulation. It's a big joke.

You want to be recognized as a "health care company" then at least REMOTELY try to resemble one... every single move this company makes is money money money money.

"Momma don't send me down to rob that bank again I got a notion you're leading me to sin"

Google it.

Tomich Lilly Chemistry

WHat really happened to this dude? At least, what are the most plausible theories? Was he killed while on the job? Did he run off with some stolen IP for an Eastern European pharma? Did he invent a time machine while on the bench? Did he visit a Turkish bath house on the lunch break and die in some twisted choking game? Did he steal some petty cash and walk to Brazil? Is IMPD still working this case? I pray for his safe return.

A stand-up's punch line about his emotionally-unstable wife. The stereotypical, hyper-sensitive, chocolate-seeking bitch: PMS is cliché.

But for many women, it's also a lot more. From extreme irratibility to emotional breakdowns, premenstrual symptoms aren't always so funny. I would know. Pre-period, I will weep over a parking place. I snap in a Safeway line. Everything can provoke me: traffic, a broken dish, an unenthusiastic hello. There are times when I have hidden in employee bathrooms, humiliated by my inability to control myself. Once I get my period, I feel fine, but during those days I wonder if the mental illness in my family gene pool has finally claimed me.

When I first saw an ad for a pill to treat something called Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, or PMDD, I felt validated.

I hope you're not talking about an Indy Safeway. I moved to Indy five years ago from the Bay Area. I loved Safeway at home, so much so, that I had to see if there were any. To my delight, there were and close to LTC. Unfortunately, Indy Safeway is not my Safeway. I'd cry if I was in a line at that place too.

You poor dear.

Once when I visited the Bay Area from another major metropolitan place, Kuta, Indonesia, I arrived and the cab driver asked me where I was from, and then I told her (just joking around of course) "Los Angeles" and she said, "I am so sorry"

So you probably get the idea, Kuta=LA=Indy. Dirty, smoggy and plenty of room for improvement, maybe you can help.

Thanks for being here, btw

Listen, you don't need to be coming at with me with your Kuta-tude. I understand, first world problem, boo-hoo-hoo. For your 411, I live in the first world Kuta-Kuta. I don't care about Indonesia. Or Grenada. Or Bangladesh. Or Somalia. Or Haiti. Or Alabama. I do care about the Bay, Carmel by the corn and Paris, France. I wish Alex would move the affiliate to at least Keystone and 86th Street.

“Employees do not matter here”
From a Scientist in Indianapolis, Indo at Kutamidio
 



This can't possibly get much worse:
1. Absolute void of leadership at the top of the company.
2. Self centered backstabbers getting key positions.
3. No accountability - zero focus on results.
4. Same mistakes repeated over and over again.
5. Insular culture which shuns reality.
6. Too much focus on things that don't matter.
7. Tough decisions routinely avoided.
8. No sense of direction.
9. Poor performers allowed to hang around.
10. Lack of toughness and determination.

Just wondering is it still toxic in Lilly. I’d be surprised if it’s not got worse.

To be honest I know this thread pissed the We Lie Lilly’s off so I thought I’d bring it back for them.
 



Lilly is no worse and generally better than most of the top ten pharma companies. That’s from experience with 3 other companies over nearly thirty tear career.

Still has the same corporate bloated middle leadership, bureaucracy, politics, and HR woke jokes pushing diversity like all the rest. But, still get a pension and it’s one of the more reputable companies with good current and future pipeline prospects.

Toxicity is local, your reporting leadership team shape the culture. Most Lilly leaders are ok and the company is too.

If you get the rare self-centered, me-monster tyrant, or just a psycho monster you will be in misery. Leave, get promoted, transfer. It’s a choice, report them and leave, never stay in a hellish environment.
