    Not sure if you all remember this thread from several months ago, but it is back. I am speaking from the inside and want to let you know what is really happening and in discussion in HQ. First of all, we have moved to our new HQ in Cokesbury, NJ. Shared offices, small cafeteria, no garbage or recycling cans, no plants, refrigerators, heaters, fans or pictures of your lived ones. Assigned parking, yes but only for a select few. This would drive the average Merck primadona out of the company, but not here. More cuts to come in sales, marketing, MRL and our support functions. If you are not on PD-1, Diabetes or Vaccines, it's over Johnny. Picture your salary on a P&L and that is what will happen to you. CV- History! RESPIRATORY - History! WHC- History! PRIMARY CARE overall - GONE! Sorry to share the news but want to make sure you know what the short term changes will be. The FOCUS is PD-1, Hep-C, Vaccines and Diabetes (for now). Good luck bitches! Just ask the markets and see what they say, not the US as they are in a continual haze....

    FU Merck

    Thank you for the "inside scoop". You failed to mention one very important cut which is yourself. You see my friend, even a third grader can obtain an ip address in this day and age even if from a personal cell. Read your privacy agreement with your provider, very similar to a DocuSign verification. You have been spreading mistruths for quite sometime now and don't forget the recourse. Being fired for such policy violations means you receive zero from Merck retirement. This will serve as a dire lesson to the many who spread false corporate lies and misinformation. Expect a call not from your manager but us.

    Timeline for any of this? Will this be announced on the region teleconference tomorrow? Thanks for the heads up. Any options to rebadge or go CSO?

    I've heard precisely the same information. We're banking on a PD-1 that is destined for second-class status by competitors we already know are going to be better, A Hep-C drug that has the same story as our PD-1 compound, a do-nothing Vaccine group and a diabetes franchise that has declined for four straight quarters, despite a sharply growing diabetes market. We are going to need a lot more than luck to turn this around.

    I am backing you up. The scope of the terminations is on a number not yet seen. I have been warning these employees for months to no avail. Let it begin.

    So just out of curiosity - who is going to market any of the products left? CSO? Or will promotion of cv, respiratory, women's health (and eventually diabetes and insomnia) products just go away completely?

    Nailed it. Merck is well on it's way to being a oncology specialty company and a second rate one at that.
