Who is Matt Beebe?

Quote












Beebe was a long time Lilly employee who just left to join a small, Indy based communications company owned by a former Lilly employee. Beebe was sr director level, worked in the global diabetes BU and would have been eligible for and pension and company paid health care as a retiree in 1 1/2 years. Something fishy here? Youbetcha!

a.k.a, HR swindled him out of reallocation payments.

Great job Lilly. More fodder for the lawyers. Funny, I see a lawyer add flashing on this page.

Just click on in.

I personally know Matt. He was a great director during Lilly's hayday in the Diabetes area.
Sorry to hear that Matt was forced to leave with no pension. For the 28 years I worked for Lilly, it was common practice got Lilly to discriminate against the older employees. This is typical Lilly.

It is not common practice. In fact, it is the opposite. I had a terrible employee who I amassed a tremendously large file of her/his repeated ineptitude. Every time I presented this to my supervisor she/he said we don't do this to someone who has 80+ points. I had to repeatedly redefine his/her role to minimize damage to the company. We keep lots of dead weight around.

Now, I know Matt also and don't think he fits this bill. In fact, I can't imagine him being pushed out. Maybe his future options were limited and he decided to move, but I can't believe he was pushed out.

This post is one of the most bullshit posts I have seen in a long, long time. Lilly discriminates against 80+ sales reps every chance they get....especially if the person is a white guy. They did it to me, a high performer with 89 points because they thought I would put up with the bullshit until I got to 90. I took a massive reduction in my retirement pay and told them to stick it. It happened to a lot of my friends in the same way. Some stayed until they got 90 points, then went crazy. It's the Lilly way with long term trusted employees.

I saw several 80+ employees depart "voluntarily" soon after I was hired. And they were the ones who hired me and told me stories about how great Lilly was. Something changed - they were tipped off about what was to come. Funny thing, one of them, at a competitor, tried to recruit me.

This company has no shame. It is just a dividend cash cow for 1.3 billion shareholders.

The fact of the matter is that Lilly is deathly afraid of all employess who fall into "protected groups".

How did you take a massive pay cut if you had 89? Isn't the pay at 89 close to the pay at 90?

Of course I am talking about retirement pay being a lot less. No, the retirement pay at 89 points is not what it would be at 90. But since I left at 89 points, I pay more for health insurance....what ever is left of it.....in retirement. Some of those retirement benefits are calculated based on whether or not you had 90 points.

But the basic point of the entire conversation is that someone posted that Lilly does not discriminate against sales employes who are nearing retirement. Who ever posted that piece of garbage ought to have his head examined.

Sounds like a disgruntled low performer who stayed under the radar for years until he got caught in the crosshairs.

Sorry for your dumbass statement. High performer and president's council performer during my career. President's council during my last 2 years. Smart enough and energized enough and independent enough to tell Lilly to shove it with their discrimination. And sorry to know that you will never even come close to 89 points.
