The truth about working at AbbVie

Quote


















abbvie rewards mediocrity. Once employees are vested in the pension ... they never leave ... so you get stagnant people who have been here for decades thinking they are all that because they haven’t worked anywhere else running the show and managing others. You must think like they do... if you disagree - you will be retaliated against. Stop shoving culture surveys down everyone’s throats!!! The culture at Abbvie will NEVER change because they can’t handle the truth that transparency doesn’t exist... never has ... and people will NEVER be safe to say what they feel without fear of retaliation. The status quo is to bobble your head in agreement and be stupid ... you get promoted and acknowledged for playing along like a dumbass. Brown nosing is rewarded over real concrete hard work! You must constantly self promote to be relevant even when you’re not doing much of anything. Promotions are given to those who often don’t truly deserve it. Why do people at Abbvie put up with all this crap?? Cause they are vested in a pension and are afraid to leave. Abbvie has low turnover with vested employees .... those that have less than 5 years will walk if unhappy. Just because vested people don’t leave the organization doesn’t make them happy or feel they are treated right and fair ... they just don’t want to walk away from the security of the pension. That’s the real truth!

I remember getting blown off by my lazy ass DM regarding my next level increase and he said we would talk about it at my review. At my review I brought up the subject again and again he blew me off. But when we are wrapping up our conversation he gets on the phone with Latonya and starts talking up another rep for her level increase. It became obvious at that point that he was only interested about the female reps on his team. Because he had previously and Solvay been sued for gender discrimination. This trend continued as all district Trainer positions were given to women. At the time that representatives were being considered for women’s health call he seem to be concerned about was getting his female harem promoted. Of course they were all experts in ass kissing too.

You must be an arrogant snowflake millennial. People with tenure like their jobs, have an attention span longer than snowflakes and actually work instead of bitch and complain..bitch!
As one grows older you’re considered less competitive for jobs by biased and ignorant managers. Since we have mortgages, kids in college we tend to be stable and not flighty short attention span entitled snowflakes.
 






Whoever wrote this captured AbbVie perfectly. A bastion of mediocrity.

Who ever wrote this is a genius!!! Ass kissing & brown nosing will get you everywhere at Abbvie. I worked at Abbott (PPD) and Abbvie for 30+ years and just had to accept it as the way of life. If you can get past it, and make a good living, you'll survive and retire happy.

This is TRUE! I’ve never seen so many folks at Abbvie to be the dumbest most non innovative people, but because they constantly self promote themselves based off of FAKE crap they take credit for ... they get promoted and given accolades. It’s pathetic! Many people at Abbvie feel the need to constantly shout at the rooftops how great they are based on little non important extra stuff they do that does not equate to ANYTHING that actually makes the company any money. It’s the low performers who make the most noise ... because if they talk about how great they are all the time and name all the insignificant groups they are a part of with useless projects ... they are PERCEIVED as great assets. However, the folks who work really hard and are often consistent high performers that don’t self promote or put themselves in every club, program, or project group- that really accomplishes nothing - is viewed not as highly as someone who is a big phony brown nosing jackass!! Who has time to belong to every freakin project group ... endless useless conference calls that are only for those who love the sound of their own voices? Not me! I’m too busy making money for the company and myself ... but will never get the recognition because I’m not FAKE and don’t like to brown nose or self promote myself. Why can’t hard work and concrete results be enough for someone to get promoted? Leading by DOING not TALKING? I don’t think the phony brown nosing perception outweighs concrete effort with results will ever change at Abbvie. Too many people would be exposed for who they really are...a bunch of Blow hard mediocre people! I put up with it because I’ve been here forever and for the most part Abbvie has been good to me.... will I ever get the acknowledgement or promotions I deserve? Probably not, but hey I’ve got a nice pension growing and I’m left alone for the most part.

Total lie. Look on Glassdoor and you’ll see very high ratings of CEO and company.

Ummm...
Look to public opinion. Glassdoor??? That’s not where people are talking. Look at Twitter. Look at CEO’s lies. He lied about his resume! If you can’t be true to who you are, what can you be true to? Not only gave himself a degree BUT an advanced degree?! He’s a fucking joke. But his Botox is sweet-And his 20 something wife. Look at boys club. Look at outdated walls. Look at 80’s prints in conference rooms. Look at nepotism. Look on google. Look at HR turnover. Look at lawsuits. Look at Humira nurses controversy. Look at the younger generation- we HATE outdated corporations like AbbVie. Look at AbbVie...it’s gross. And when biosimiliars take off-fuck your flagship.
