Why can’t Merck fairly compensate employees? Many leaving for 30%-50% raises across all divisions (sales, research, PM, reg, manufacturing....) and positions not backfilled for over a year. EVPs lining pockets after every new pembro approval. writing on the wall big merger coming and execs preparing golden parachutes for deployment. FU
Merck doesn’t need to compensate well because they’re riding KEYTRUDA into the ground and don’t need the best of the best to do it. Some employee know they’re worthless and just happy to make it another day under the radar collecting a donation from Merck. Couldn’t leave because they’d get eaten alive elsewhere. At the same time Merck happy to keep many on payroll for “diversity” no matter how mentally challenged. As long as someone’s around to turn the lights on and keep pd1 cash flowing all is good.
