Culture starts from within. Senior leaders are closed minded to what is happening to Jazz. Evident when they have to beg for completion of a surgery because nothing will be done about it. Announcements like last week with external hires continue to send a message. The over processing, metrics which show lack of understanding and check box hiring to fit a goal continue to ruin Jazz. This is what management looks like vs true leaders.
Could not agree more and is the reason for so many "this is my last day at Jazz" emails recently. People see and feel the change that has taken over in leadership roles. Talent will continue to go elsewhere and we will be left with only big pharma types and process minded priorities that will permanently ruin this place - if that has not happened already.
Agree the train has already left the station. Have never seen a company change so much as this has in the past year. The legacy that Mike Miller spent years to build was ruined within weeks of bringing Big Pharma talking heads to Jazz. It is very sad. The primary care mentality failed miserably at other companies yet that is what they are building here. Pure incompetence...... with zero personality but management by intimidation. If Bruce were smart he would make leadership changes immediately to salvage. Feel sorry for GW about to walk into this. They don't know what they are signing up for. Wish we could see the raw survey data but I know many of my peers were afraid to put the truth in the system because we know nothing is anonymous in todays world.
Absolutely agree with the last two posts. I spent 3 years at Jazz and saw it go from a company that valued its employees to one that hired dirtbags from Teva, Shire, Amgen and Gtech who ruined Comm Ops and a host of other internal functions. By the end, it was a passive-aggressive, backstabbing culture where middle management and leadership would flat-out lie to your face and then just walk off to their next meeting with Bruce, and then lie their asses off to him. What a pity. Could have been so much more.
Leadership is trying to change the culture. Reason so many people were added in management from outside the co. Sunosi exposed this company’s salesforce. For 20 years, Xyrem sold itself, while reps did nothing. Revenue grew based on continued price increases. Then came Sunosi, and leadership had no clue how to launch a product. This co is in for a rude awakening beginning next yes
Some of us who came from the outside and tried to tell them Sunosi was a dog and tried to change the approach got drummed out based on falsified negative performance reviews and the aforementioned supposedly anonymous employee surveys. I agree this company is in for a very rude awakening. The tools they brought in from to leadership are running this once fine company into the ground. And honestly, if Bruce was stupid enough to hire SH and others of her ilk then to hell with him too.
Please. The REAL talent left Amgen and GNE 10-12 years ago - recently those organizations have been bloated and living off historical reputation for years. Recent downsizing in both allowed these big headed, ego maniacs to join mid size pharma. They act like they are better than everyone else - but they are not.
It’s sad when he who creates the thread proceeds to respond to his own posts multiple times. The culture Mike Miller spent years building!!! Now that’s funny.
Mike Miller WAS the beginning of the end. He didn't need to build a good culture, he walked into it and then it went to shit. Jazz was supposed to be a specialty company and would never have a primary care product. Then came Sunosi which is promoted alongside every other primary care med on tv. Jazz is no longer a small specialty pharma company, just another mid sized pharma company that no longer has anything that differentiates them
Grow the fuck up. Sunosi was licensed and then put in Phase 2/3 trials over six years ago - the company invested millions in it - what were they supposed to do? - not launch it cause you don't like selling it?? We are in SALES - thats your job, so shut up. for a long time, Sunosi was the only thing in the pipeline - and with the Xyrem patent end looming - it was something we had to develop. You don't get to pick what you like (or are capable of) selling. Culture is not defined by what you sell - its is how you treat people and behave as a team. And I agree with the earlier post - that HAS changed and that has nothing to do with the products we sell. Leadership has changed.
The leadership changes and the change in products are probably related to a degree. Some of the new leadership probably doesn’t arrive at jazz without Sunosi.
can’t believe they didn’t clean house in Sleep Marketing after they developed that ridiculous flying pig ad. And then Bruce and Co paid millions to put the damn thing on the air! But AB and her backstabbing minions are still infecting Jazz with their special brand of incompetence. Someone’s got pictures of someone in that company.
