What is with this place?

I hope somebody proofreads your Ph.D. thesis because you cannot write a literate sentence. Perhaps your inability to write standard English is holding you back.

I also think you are full of it! I've seen your sob story in your previous poorly written posts. Please keep us entertained with the results of your next "Research" .

:/ Rightttt -- Because everyone on internet discussion boards write at PhD level when posting.

Go away you Asshat Monkey!

Oh hello HR, legal or RSM. Never takes long for your negative comment.......I'd rather sell $1 more than hear your 2 cents!

None of those mentioned, just a field worker. C'mon, read this persons rant and tell me:
1. You believe anything he says from his/her "research". This is not his/her first fairy tale on the Astellas board.
2. You want a person in upper or any management who cannot write standard English. I don't care how somebody writes on this board but I do expect something more from somebody who will write my evaluation.

Nothing personal, just business.

it is so sad to see Astellas HR monitoring this board that has been designed for Pharma employees to vent.

It appears from the posting above I all you need is a GED in order to work in Astellas HR. I would challenge HR employees in Astellas to post their resumes on line and let us, employees, to examine those for credibility and accuracy. After all, we have done this when we were hired.

I can guarantee that we will find many lies and inaccurate information in most if not all HR employees all the was to Ms. Taylor.

Again, here is the same poster, writing jibberish and making no sense.
Can we have your latest research findings?

Good to be bullied does it?

You probably can't speak another language so why be a grammar snob to expats.

As long as someone gets their point across in official business - who cares about their communication on an internet board.

Again, I'm in the field not HR. But if it makes you feel better, ooooooh I'm so upset on being called out.

Well I do speak a couple of languages but that's neither here nor there. How do you know this poster is an expat? But, you may be on to something. English may not be this posters first language so he /she gets a pass on the boards. ( As I mentioned before).

My take is this poster has a beef related to advancement. You said it, "get the point across in official business". Do you think this poster is capable of that based on what we've read?
The BS about research on discrimination is just dopey.

From Cool Hand Luke- "What we have here is, failure to communicate". This leads to a career unlikely to accelerate. It's not personal, it's business.

Anyway, this has devolved way off the original OP rant fest.

Good for you! It's nice to know there is an area where people are actually happy and treated as they should be. Ooooooooooh you actually uses Ooooooooooh! Lol

Vetting process for upper management is nonexistent. How did a lying cheat that was brought up on previous sexual harassment charges ever become the Sales Director for the West? Moving him to another position really didn't solve the problem. DB is truly untouchable. What a culture!

Exactly, how did someone who was fired by Abbott over a failed $750M launch of SAP project where his subordinates threatened to revolt because his "leadership" was so bad get to be for Astellas according to his LinkedIn profile "Chief Information Officer * Vice President * Chief Security Officer * Globalization Guru"?!?

Puke :0

Clearly through BS and lies.

Not true. Many states allow a conversation to be recorded w/o consent. Furthermore, Mr or Mrs Scared RSM, in a public setting the idea of a "private conversation" is now gone and so it is allowed....
ACTUALLY, I happened to be one of those people who went to three years of law school and you obviously don't know the laws of most states on this subject manner.

If you're a lawyer why are you at Astellas? I can't imagine anyone from legal actually commenting on this. If you read earlier, this person posted it varies from state to state so you have to check. Anything in a "public" setting is thought to be out of the realm of "private" discussion so therefore could be admissible.

Bottom line is if you are being treated in an unlawful way you need to have proof and whether or not it is admissible in the state youre in will not make Astellas feel warm and fuzzy once they know you've caught them in their game.

Instead of piling on one another and slinging accusations I think we need to stand together! At one point or another I don't care how well you do today but it won't matter when they decide you're not their cup of tea any longer.

Astellas always settles this stuff out of court anyway, so all you need is tangible proof of inappropriate activity. This stuff never gets to a judge or court. We just don't hear about the thousands $$ being paid to individuals because the payment comes with a gag order.

Illinois Wiretapping Law

In People v. Melongo, Docket No. 114852 (Ill. Mar. 20, 2014), the Supreme Court of Illinois held that Illinois' two-party eavesdropping statute, 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/14-1, -2 (scroll down), was unconstitutional on its face. The statute made it a crime to use an "eavesdropping device" to overhear or record a phone call or conversation without the consent of all parties to the conversation, regardless of whether the parties had an expectation of privacy. The Court held that the recording provisions of the statute, as written, adversely affected the First Amendment rights of people making recordings in a substantial number of circumstances where there were no legitimate privacy interests. The Court further held that a provision of the statute prohibiting the disclosure of recordings likewise ran afoul of the First Amendment.

This does not mean, however, that recording of communications is now universally permitted in Illinois:

Recordings may still be subject to the "one-party" consent rule of the Federal wiretap act.
Communications reaching other states may be subject to the wiretapping laws of the remote state.
Secret recordings may still support an Illinois common-law claim for intrusion into the privacy of another. See, e.g., Narducci v. Village of Bellwood, 444 F. Supp. 2d 924, 938 (N.D. Ill. 2006).
Another Illinois statute, not necessarily affected by the decision in the Melongo case, makes it illegal to "videotape, photograph, or film" people without their consent in "a restroom, tanning bed, or tanning salon, locker room, changing room or hotel bedroom." 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/26-4(a) (scroll down).

Illinoid law doesn't trump the state that you may be in. State by state basis.

They pay out often in IL as well. Astellas' payout system is a fail for the company and the employee.

The employee gets harassed and has to endure the stress of an attack by their boss and HR. This even happens to people who were high performers one year and then the next year are rated low. Everyone at Astellas knows it is a loosing battle and gets a lawyer right away to advise them behind the scenes on what to do and what to say, whether to seek medical leave for stress, and how to document the abuse. The employee won't file an official lawsuit because it would be in any new employers background check. For payout an employee typically gets a 3 month - 6 month - or 1 year package to go away, which lawyer takes a percentage of.

Why is Astellas doing this? They are loosing a lot of money by this turn-over of good people - not to mention the low morale with all employees because we all know about this game that loser managers and HR/legal are playing.

Japan needs to wake up to this mess. Astellas is dysfunctional.
