The Waiting is Horrible/Tell Us Now!

P.S. In my case, after I left, the next year I still receive the a bonus check in the mail!!! Sweet!

 

What do you think Bob is doing right now? Tanning? Getting a manicure? Getting a pedicure? Both? Getting his hair colored? Counting his millions? Who gives a shit, any other senior management team would have thrown his ass out of here long ago. Don't forget, he was the author of the "new commercial model" that was a joke and a miserable failure. After putting him to the pasture they resurrected him from his important job in Washington. What a joke and what a joke of a company. Thank god I am out of here. I have just decided that I will start a new thread. I will call it Keeping it Real, because I'm keeping it real. Chat soon.

 

well we know your story is BS. your pension does not go down the longer you work. the ONLY way that could happen is if interest rates go up. so you are lying

 

Actually I am not wrong. I used the pension calculator month to month and mapped it out. Each month the pension growth was smaller and smaller till 2019 when it turned negative. The main point is I grew the pension lump far faster than what Merck would have given me if I stayed. How much more? Several hundred thousand dollars more than if I stayed. If you never did the exercise with the pension calculator would would not know that. I was surprised too. It may be related to changes in the pension law or based on longevity. "A word to the wise is sufficient." In your case you are just ignorant and lazy and have not done the exercise. If the pension calculator is still available a wise person would try it out.

 

well you changed your story. you originally said your pension went down. thats not true.
what is true is the rate at which your pension increased went down in 2019. thats a totally different statement than your pension went down.
i know what I'm talking about and you won't find another company that will contribute more to your pension even after 2019 than MRK will.
the pension increases are not a reason to leave MRK. the pension is not as good as it used to be, yes but its still something most workers don't get at all

 

Actually I am not wrong. Some people think that every year you work Merck contributes 3 % more to your pension. Wrong! Don't believe me. Do the exercise yourself. Use the pension calculator to ask If I retire 1 month from now what would my pension lump sum be. What would it be 2 months from now? etc. Do that all the way to 2020. Then graph it out. For me the incremental increase turned negative in 2019. Might be different for some but I doubt it. I am only posting this to warn you. I get nothing from stopping the Company from screwing you. If you are too lazy to do the exercise then screw you. I got mine will you get yours? By the way my incremental return on my lump sum for this year is 25 %. Mainly Apple, Google,Gilead,Kohls and Qualcom.

 

Why are they cutting reps and making all these changes before launching their new diabetes med?

 

The SGLT2 will be 4th in class and others now with outcomes data . Managed care will dictate bidding war for formulary status . Januvia sales are declining and also face same managed care pricing pressures . No Primary care products in pipeline .
