Roche is an inept company. Best any former mid manager can do is land at a no name consulting group, agency, or a wannabe pharma company. pat Higgins is an example - he managed a group of 200 sales reps. So how does that make him an executive. These posts are all funny but not sure why there is so many people wishing for something more than what reality has shown = Roche is a non starter.

It looks like there are a lot of revisionist historians. Who knows, you too could have been a somebody given the abominations of truth from these postings. These are all sad commentaries from individuals who have no life.

Don't apologize. I think you have given others a forum to find out positive things about really good people. Don't let the negative naysayers bring you down. They are jealous because they haven't accomplished much themselves. For instance, consultants are not unemployed rather many of them have taken stock of themselves (and their former companies) and have semi-retired. Let's face it, there are several billionaires that consult after retirement because they want to keep busy. I guess you can say they're unemployed too. Don't give into the immaturity rather allow for the positive ex-employees to have a forum.

Okay, now you are showing your true colors. Define "well'? First of all as President of Publicis (which is a major Ad agency), NC earns just as much, if not more than any large Pharma CEO or major Biotech CEO. In addition, unless you now something the rest of us do not know, running any kind of division still requires a lot of skill sets. The size of the organization doesn't matter much because many of the issues are the same. Whether they are FDA, manufacturing, R&D, sales, etc. In fact, I would think that managing the smaller organizations with less available resources may be a little tougher than managing large organizations made up of few difference makers and a majority of mediocre personell. Get your facts straight. VC's do "well" because they make sound investments in talented people who can gain access to quality technologies.
Leaders like Saltz et al, ran a quality organization when they were in charge and they have had continued success in smaller organizations. Yes, I was around in those days and while mistakes were made, the successes far outnumbered the failures, which is no longer the case. Saltz always had a positive attitude and it rubbed off on many people. When he left, the organization's leadership went with him and it seems to be that it has yet to recapture any of it's lost luster. It's too bad that you're so bitter, because it sounds like the company can truly use some people with positive "can-do" behavior, even when times are tough.

Roche hasn't been the same since Valium and Dalmane lost exclusivity. That was the beginning of the end, Bactrim, Trimpex, Liibrium, Limbitrol, Larotid and Librax were already gone. Accutane, Rocephin, Bumex and Versed were just getting off the ground. Valrelease and Coactin had been pulled and Switzerland was demanding US dollars. It's been an uphill struggle since.

They took their payoffs and ran as far away as possible! Very few of that gang still around, maybe like BobF,GM, got paid off to leave after too many personal blunders!

Golf Course, Shopping Mall, plastic surgeon's office, trying to get anti-depressant refill and in a new industry outside pharma. That's where all the old ones end up once they leave.
 






Not me, I'm still doing legal depositions, with Roche Legal doing a fine job supporting me. Roche was the finest company I ever worked for and I had 40 as a Rep and Specialist, but alas all good things come to an end. Retirement has arrived.
