What does AstraZeneca stand for?

I feel like I’m at a critical point in my career. I feel so defeated and disillusioned by what I thought AZ was about. This past weekend I took the time to read the actual lawsuit filings regarding the manager who just won $2.4 mil from AZ for their abuse. I didn’t know if I should cry or scream about how this poor woman was treated for trying to do the right thing. Thank goodness a jury has awarded her an amount that should allow her to be comfortable for the rest of her life. I hope she takes comfort knowing that an impartial jury recognized that she was wronged and deserved to be rightly compensated.
But where does that leave us? Who are working for? Is it all just smoke, mirrors, and bullshit? How many painful videos and HR lectures fo we have to sit through, reminding us that bullying will not be tolerated? How many times are we reminded that off-label promotion is an absolute no-no? Most importantly, how many times does HR encourage us to report the offenders? That we’ll be supported by HR? That there’s zero tolerance for retaliation? Is that all just talk? Sure sounds like it is. This brave woman went up against upper management because she was trained to believe off-label promotion was wrong. She gets punished for that. She tells her superior that she doesn’t like a nickname, and is ignored and the practice continues. She follows proper channels and is failed by HR.
Now maybe I don’t have all the information and there’s two sides to every story. But an IMPARTIAL jury heard all the evidence and ruled AstraZeneca was WRONG! Wrong to the tune of $2.4 MILLION dollars wrong.
So who do I work for? Can I work for a company I believe in? If I’m harassed, will HR support me or the bully? If I see off-label promotion going on, do I ignore it? Or do I follow the reporting rules, only to penalized for it? I want to work for a company that has standards and lives up them.
So what now?? That’s what I’m asking? What will AstraZeneca do to make this right? They’ll pay out the $2.4 mil to her, but what about the rest of us? Who are now saddened? Defeated? Disillusioned? Confused? AstraZeneca needs to put the talk into action. HR needs to show that NO ONE is above the rules. There needs to be a visible and tangible punishment for those who break the rules. Bullying is not to be tolerated. Off-label promotion is not to be tolerated. Those who do so, should be terminated.

So AstraZeneca, do you mean what you say???? Or does that only apply to some people????
 








Think of the lies generated over the past couple of years. I know it only affects a few people, but remember how AZ promised repeatedly that there would be COE winners. They didn't have specific details, since they were district totals, but they swore on multiple occasions they would figure something out. Instead, they just decide last minute they can't figure out how to do it so no winners. No trips, cash bonuses, no names in lights, no nothing!

Remember, MG telling us on a conference call there would be no problems with BCise supplies, everything is going to be rectified in short order. He lied to calm the masses, and got promoted for it.

Remember PS pulling the bullshit story about leaving for Teva to extort more money from the board? Or the article in the Times where he bitches, “The truth is I’m the lowest-paid CEO in the whole industry,” he told the Times. “You know, it is annoying to some extent. But at the end of the day, it is what it is. I’m not going to complain, but me and Emma (Walmsley, chief executive of Glaxo Smith Kline) are the lowest-paid in Europe and the US.” Me and Emma? How about Emma and I?

I could go on and on, but this post is getting rather long.

More lawsuits are coming. AZ has allowed it’s leaders (second line and up) to make really bad decisions during the COVID pandemic while simultaneously targeting some employees for making decisions that did not sit well with these same hypocritical leaders. HR has been used as a enforcement weapon for these leaders, and it will be obvious as these cases ultimately end up going to a jury trial. It takes time for this process to work its way through the wickets, but we haven’t come to the end of the tunnel yet. HR is very much complicit in the badness.
 




Is there anyone on the senior leadership team that is ready to make a bold move and do the right thing? What does senior leadership mean anyway? A bold gesture needs to happen and it needs to happen now!!!

There needs to be a house cleaning, so to speak. It is known who these people are - and there a number of them. The problem is, they’ve been loyal servants to the greed Gods, so it’s going to take a whole lot more than ethics PowerPoint decks and/or pretty Core Value slides. It has become comical to the vast majority of us who know all of this is ridiculous eyewash.

Your company sells vaccines. Do I need say more.

Corruption at it's finest.
 




What’s funny is that if I cut and pasted this rant and emailed it to everyone at AZ, I’d probably be fired for that. But senior leadership can bully reps and push for off label promotions and force AZ to pay out millions of dollars in lawsuit rewards, and nothing happens to them? WTF?!!!

Get out of my head! Lol
It’s completely insane what goes on. An I & D call and the woman accused in that lawsuit speaks about her experience with I & D? I mean……follow her I guess right? It makes me sad
 




So what does one have to do to get fired?

bully your reps? Nope
Aggressively promote off-label? Nope

Cost the company $2.4 million in lawsuit payouts? Nope


So what is it going to take?

Congrats snowflake. AZ isn’t a good company. You’ve figured it out and now you are truly woke.
 








AZ was a pharma career starter company. If you got in with the right people by demonstrating an uncanny, unapologetic ability to throw others under the bus sacrificially (resulting in total career annilation) you were good. Look around. Remember. Most all mover shaker leaders have killed someone’s career at AZ.

As for the rest, try not to get your character assassinated and eventually career killed—by keeping your head down and stfu until asked to give high praise for initiatives created by the group above. You will be a little soulless each day, but will keep your job.

This is what AZ is all about.
