Why does every team at Amgen have a cheesy name?

Is it mandatory or just a holdover from the Merckette Manual?

Some of my favorites to date:

Pacific Patient Servers
New England Tour d' Force
Mid Atlantic Derm Dominators
East Elite
Portland Pride
Albany Allies
Southern Swarm


Really, what's behind this culture of giving fake names to every imaginable team? I got put on a new "sprint" last week and the first thing the facilitator did was give some time to coming up with a team name! We will be done in 4 weeks, but first agenda item next week is our team name? Why, why, why?

So indicative of our activity culture. Wish we were a performance culture, but I am going to suggest that we are the cross-functional global champs.

Happy to report that my team does not have a name. My manager said we never will. That’s why he’s the best

A rarity at Amgen. Policy 202.16.298 clearly states that any group of more than 3 people must have a team name.

still available are:

the Demigods
the most miraculous
the Hoss Ballers
the righteous collaborators

Now get with the program
 








Why are we the "Dynasty?"

All our best have been run off or left for better jobs?

Better we change our name to Derm Execution Report Fakers

Susan, Ian, Fat Bastard: You try to figure it out.
