RMP,

I'm still upset over the loss is Rupert. I know I wasn't supposed to say anything but he left Merck for Celgene. The apple pie must have been his ticket in.

JJ

 

JJ:

Thank you for the update on Rupert. I had heard about a shortage of puff pastry and Granny Smiths's in the Princeton "wanna be" area - that is some tasty apple pie production in the making. I sure wish Rupert happy shagging in his new position.

RMP

 

No one loves me, or writes on my thread, now that Rupert is gone.

Rupert, I miss you and your apple pie.

JJ

 

Rupert lives on. He still makes more money than most of us.

 

Hi Laura, thank you for your perspective.

 

JJ,

Now that Rupert is out I want you to eliminate his direct reports. John hunter, Ann weber, parmlee, etc. I want them all gone and replaced.

RMP

 

RMP:

I will work on this right away. Can we bring over some more of my pals from Amgen ?

JJ

 

JJ, my loyal servant, you may speak to your pals. However, few with talent or good judgement remain at Amgen.

RMP

 

Grrr ! Grrr !

 

Needs to be kicked to the street.

 

JJ

How's it coming along with Rich? I asked for you to fire him!

RPM

 

RMP:

I have been trying hard to fire Rich, but you know me, it takes me so long to do anything, even your will.

Lately, since Rupert quit, Rich has been kissing up so well. I have always enjoyed being your lapdog, but it is time for me to have my very own lapdog. I am grooming Rich to be my very own English Bulldog.

JJ

 

Junkyard Joseph:

No more excuses - this is not another sunshine day at Amgen. You will do my every wish on my command.

RMP

 

JJ

When I want someone fired you need to move faster! If you need any guidance, please see Roy Baynes. He is really turning clinical operations around!

RMP

 

Grrr ! Grrr !

 

JJ,

Now that the word of my 2 million dollar raise was disclosed, we need to get serious in the labs. Please schedule 1:1s with your direct reports and set expectations on drug development. If they don't deliver a promising compound in the next few months, you can unleash your teeth!

RMP

 

Plleeeaaassse unleash. Only one way we can succeed is to stop the roadblocks. Where is the VP changes promised 1 year ago and when is the Amgen structure rolling out?

 

Roger, my wealthy master !!! More dog bone and filet for your favorite lapdog. Please can we live in Montecito again. Can Rupert be the dog butler ??

JJ

 

JJ:

My top lap doggie.....more bones for you my boy and a big juicy steak when you fire Tillyer.

I have ordered Apple pies from Rupert for our next trip to Montecito.

RMP

 

Thank you master ! I love my days on the beach in Montecito obeying your every command - just like my lapdog job at Merck - you are the best master !! Can I have some of my dog friends from Amgen come over to your Monecito mansion to chew bones and chase rabbits ?

JJ
