ALL Pharma jobs are temporary now. Sooner or later your job is going away, and in many cases it's sooner than later.
Pipeline? You mean the one drug? Have a look at the stock price and you can see what the street thinks of the "pipeline"
They have replaced G Mad never smart or intelligent- gone! Should never have been anything but an RBD Now replaced with others who are a bit brighter- but individuals who can keep their pants on The entire enterprise is shit
Greg "G-Mad" Madison was the original CEO under the Keryx name - before the Akebia takeover. He hired his friends into top level management positions (many were unqualified), as well as others from AMAG Pharmaceuticals, his employer prior to Keryx. G-Mad was also a bit of a skirt-chaser in his private life where rumor has it that he engaged in affairs, had multiple marriages, and paid big money child support and alimony bills. He was a mediocre CEO at best who stood back and allowed his VP's of Sales henchmen to demoralize the sales force. 20% of employees were among the connected and protected (many of them former AMAG employees and buddies with each other) and the other 80% were average Pharma peons and treated accordingly - usually by intimidation and threat of job loss (which actually occurred in a number of cases). G-Mad allowed for more stick than carrot in motivating the sales force. I've heard this tradition has carried on with Akebia.
SDress is a perfect fit for the company, a serial cheat, liar, lazy, arrogant, incompetent. He ran out of rope at REGN where his only accomplishment was banging cheap and nasty hookers on the company's dime.
Akebia will be fine. you think it’s bad now? Wait until they totally F up the launch of Vada! Dell pressure will be enormous! No access to drug. Deal with FMC WILL GET F’d up and Tuesday nights you’ll have to bare bending over or sitting on a toilet . Yay. So frustrated and pissed I have to look. I have always loved this job pre-akebia. going to get bought out by Otsuka soon anyway & dust off what’s left of a sales force that they will brush off with stock as a severance. Jon bought a Kobra Kai no mercy ball squeezer & is a bully too who just bought an asset. F people.
Rumor has it 6 more NAM roles have been approved. WTF are we thinking? The current NAMS do nothing. We do more for them than they do for us. Why are we adding more people with zero national account experience when the ones in place have not shown any results? Yet another example of how out touch corporate is.
