What's the Deal with Robinson's Narcissistic Article?

I finally took the time to read this self-promoting crap written for 1st grade school level kids and I'm trying to figure out what company he's talking about? Did Robinson forget we recently launched Astagraf XL from our own R&D team and can't even give it away! Before that Myrbetriq and let's not forget we completely whiffed on launching SDP and Vibativ? Wasn't it the science behind Xtandi that has made it a successful drug? Sounds like someone needs a reality check!!!

I'm not sure what JR is smoking, but if he spent more time finding us products to sell and less time with self-promotion, we'd probably be in a better place. I'm still holding out hope (as long as my pay day comes every two weeks) that this company will be relevant someday, but it's bogus actions like this that makes me wonder what's going on here?
 


















It should be obvious to everyone here that Astellas spends a lot of time and money spinning stories that sound good, but are not based in reality. Examples of how F'd up the culture is here are too long to list, but it's clear upper management only cares about protecting thier own jobs and much less about investing in science. Almost every product is the result of a licensing deal and nothing of value coming from internal R&D. We are nothing more than re-sellers of someone elses innovative work and yet upper managment is happy to take credit for "commercial" success. I'm embarassed to work here and only wish I worked for a real Onclogy company like Medivation.
 






worse than a culture with trust issues is a company that has a complete lack of respect for upper management. This post demonstrates how completely screwed up this company has become.
 












Well said. He's proven to be another cowardly puppet spoon fed ideas from over-paid consultants. Worthless like the rest of our management team. This place sure has it's share of losers hired over the years from other large pharma co's.
 












Thanks for inquiring friend. I'm still here in this joke company laughing at the ra-ra self serving newsletters and other bs communications created by senior management. I, like many others, are just waiting till PIP and bonus payout to say goodbye. I've taken a job with a real pharma company with real products based on science so after another week of this shit-show there are better times ahead for me. Best part is watching the management clowns put on a show next week while I celebrate with my soon to be "former" colleagues.
 






Wow! So sad. Company putting so much time and effort into big time communications and building a big time PR group i.e., Madmen - so 60's. Should be investing in product and its people.
