Yes, welcome to the world of liberalism... right in yo face! Give it six months and you'll wish you HADN'T been retained. Our company culture is unlike ANY other pharma company in existence today. During the Lipitor and Viagra years, we owned everything and did everything - if you produced (which most did), you got promoted and you rolled with the company's growth - hell, we didn't have time to slow down and "recognize" alternative lifestyles and diversity-type programs - we were the kings. Now, with a democratic supporter at the helm and the ultimate demise of the Lipitor franchise, it's like having our own little Obama cabinet running the company. It's quite an embarassment, really, but we keep our heads up and don't say a lot b/c it's too good a job to risk being fired for speaking up.
That first time you log into Pfieldnet and witness this once-glorious company recognizing the homosexual lifestyle - right in yo face (and your family's face, too, if they're anywhere near your computer) - you'll struggle... deem it 'just not right'... probably curse... kick the dog... etc -- but then you'll recover and cede your mores/tenets/belief systems to the company's culture...... all in the name of keeping your job/benefits. Welcome aboard.
