Yearly RIFs scheduled until 2022

Amgen is looking to be more efficient. The first step is continuous improvement, which means to constantly evaluate staffing needs. For Amgen, this means adopting a modified "Up or Out" culture where they will RIF the bottom 15% of workers each year. Look for layoffs to occur around the Q3 conference call each year.

As we did in 2014 with the VTPs exiting Sept & Oct. Another Amgen Annual tradition to look forward to. On the bright side, if you are RIF'ed, you get out of during that wretched Validation Assignment.

Bottom 10% to be trimmed every year, a la Jack Welch's GE.

No more VTPs, though. That's over (way too generous). Look at it this way: It's never too early to start preparing your family for a Marry 2015 RIFFmas and a AFPpy New Year 2016!!!
