Jim N, Ted M, Roger S, Chuck O, Hawk, Paul ( can.t keep it in his pants) and Wanna be big time RD Jim....bunch of pigs. Would never survive today because they’d have to work, spell, stop looking at women as objects or conquests ( right Paul) know the product/market,, not play favorites, discriminate against women and people of color, and have an IQ over 85.
Did we forget anyone?

No, that covers about everyone.
Signed: Multiple National Award Winner under this regime and is a person of color. Won my awards despite the rampant favoritism that existed back in the day. Happily retired.....
 

When we stop being busy and productive and switch to just being still and aware, we ourselves will also feel support, intimacy, and happiness, even if no one else is around. These positive feelings are a product that is much desired but that cannot be bought.

I still have a sick lick in my head from that 1981 Virginia Claforan launch meeting when the high school marching band came into the meeting room at lunchtime drumming, "Claforan, Claforan...drums drums...Claforan, Claforan!" You probably never had one but that was a fun launch meeting.

Claforan was a joke of a drug. Was a Rocephin wanna be and got its butt kicked daily by Rocephin. It only got on formularies because of price, the only reason. Ceftriaxone is still widely used today and no recently trained doctor even knows what claforan is.

I still have my HMR ring. Super ugly. I treasure it. It was wonderful to be treated like kings and queens by our company.

When I started at Hoechst in 1968, all the non sales employees would call you Mr. (there were no Ms. or Mrs. yet). Everyone really believed that nothing happened until something was sold. Slowly this industry went from motivation by praise to " they are all a bunch of lazy screw offs" esp around the sanofi merger w Aventis. Imagine how wonderful the rest of my days would have been if France hadn't forced its bankers to finance sanofi/Aventis merger. They forced this merger because if eagar Swiss Sandoz had bought Aventis, then France would have no presence in world pharma market. These companies pretend to their stockholders that they will have a profit in the future but they are just buying time on the payroll. The make quota each year by raising prices.They wasted 12 billion on Accomplia but everyone was employed for those five years. Grandma was deciding to buy Plavix or food while these pharma PACs paid of the politicians so they could raise the price every few months.

You must have been around HRPI for a while to come up with those names. I'd like to know where some of those guys are too. I can tell you that Tom Stovall is in the Wash. DC area and was doing training stuff. Jerry McMurtry just retired about a month ago. Janet Vavala is at The Medicines Company. Rube Kagan is still in the NJ area and doing fine. Gil Muratori is in FL, I'm not sure about his health. The others I don't know about. Good luck...Rick H
