Wait, what?

AA needs to shut the fuck up!

It is simply the telephone game in action here. Susie heard from Timmy something about Novartis and their products. When Susie told her friend Jim about it, she filled in the details to make it sound plausible and juicy. All the whole Tom, Dick and Harry who are the source information know the truth and it isn't half as juicy as Timmy, Susie and Jim think it is. Embellished stories and negativity push a narrative that is way off the rails.
 






Wow, I came across this today and can't believe the thread here. First, let me say that I am the QC Director that was let go. I am deeply touched by the sentiments of some of the first comments, but this escalated quickly out of hand, apparently by some former disgruntled employees.
Let me set a few things straight:
1. While I do not agree with the decisions made,I fully understand it was what JM and CM felt to be a business decision. I do not believe there was any ill intent in the move, and I still hold both of them in the highest regards, professionally. In fact, somebody (no names mentioned) owes me a deep sea trip still!
2. For those prospective employees, let me tell you about the QC Team. Those guys went to hell and back for me. I worked along side some of the most talented and dedicated individuals there are in that team, and I miss them dearly. In fact, I told them I would not leave until the last one walked out the door. BIG MISTAKE! Those suckers kept me there 70 hours a week! Lol.
3. Yes, there are problems stemming from a bad audit, but we were making strides. I saw us being out of the hole in three months prior to my departure.
4. Your mid level management team is second to none. They are either the first there, or the last to leave. They are dedicated to you.
5. Don't be afraid of the opportunity here. Just because I did not work out, does not mean you won't.

Don't listen to negative comments. There can be a bright future here. The team is there, they just need a little more time and help. Best of luck Noven, I wish nothing but the best for you!
AL

Looks like you posted this awhile back. Thank you sir for everything you did. You are missed around the office and wish you well.
 










































Yes everything is perfect because the new QC VP is our new savior.

I wouldn't call anybody a savior. However, the individual in that role now isn't fearful of the FDA and the challenges ahead of the organization. He is open and honest with people, and he is honest about wher the organization is. He doesn't have delusions about where challenges/issues are. His reputation in the industry speaks for itself, as he has been a part of a few organizations that have steered their way out of trouble.

So he has balls? Good.
 






All I know is, WHEN he gets a better job at a company that appreciates its employees...if he ever calls me to come work for him, Noven can kiss my ass on the way out. When we had that meeting saying he left the company (left? How about chewed up and spit out?), then those jokers asked if we had any questions. For crying out loud we had questions, but we aren't stupid enough to ask! How about, "Why do you hate us?"
Now we are stuck with this....you know what? Nevermind. I better zip it.



What did he do to get chewed out?
 






What did he do to get chewed out?

Nothing. I believe he had some disagreements with how much control our consultants had, and it was putting undue stresses on the lab. I don't think either party is to blame, really, we were at the time in a really bad compliance situation. Our VP was just let go, and I think he and the person the new consulting VP brought in to run the lab did not see eye to eye. I still talk to him, and he does not mention anything negative about the main company leadership.
