Townhall

Anyone else need to register to ask questions on pigeonhole? What is this all about?

Novartis, I despair!
Acronyms, complexity and more inefficiencies combined with uninspiring leaders are a recipe for disaster. How, just how will this transformation help us improve our market position in the US and simplify the way we do business. Excitement is nil.

How is it acceptable to have employees reapply for their own job, especially when people are on holiday/vacation? No consideration or respect for our employees. Employee engagement will have a hell of a job once the dust settles. The trust in this organization is gone. Culture killed as colleagues start competing for jobs.

Before
Pharma vs Onco
Now
US vs IM

Yep, if you have time off scheduled for second or third week of August..."We recommend you bring your laptop". Unbelievable disfunction.

And those idiots still expect people to work hard when they basically told them that you will be interviewing for your job in a month! This is Office Space, only worse.

Which sales force is interviewing for their jobs? Who was told to bring laptops? CRM here, have not heard that, nor do I have a July 19 townhall invitation.

Headquarter employees. Relax if you are a sales rep. Your time will come later.

Invitations have not gone out yet. Check the email we got today, there's mention of the townhall on the 19th.

You should consider yourself lucky to be laid off from this company. It's a company that endorses witch hunts and co-workers being brats and rats, tattling on each other. Management is at best sub-par endorsing these behaviors because they are none the better. Hope you get a severance and rid yourself of this company and this industry it's soul sucking and not even close to what is was even 10 years ago.

This has to be the worst reorganization in the history of pharma. Communication is appalling.

Not really, most will just deny up to the day you get a layoff email.

Hahaha, so true. So much for simplifying.

When you think about our company is pretty fucking sick. Reapplying for our own jobs? WTF

The more I hear about this global transformation, the more I shake my head in disbelief at how catastrophic process and communication are. It’s a disaster.

"We are going to merge two business entities and cut up to 8k people, we just have no plan on how we are going to do it and will make you all wait for months to find out if you are going to be displaced. Oh yeah, our CEO will be MIA during the entire process."

This is such a clusterfuck.

this is a tactic to silence the truth, evade the real questions, and control the narrative.
