Remember it isn't over until the fat lady sings. The fat lady is not at the lectern yet. She is warming up behind the stage. She is not ready. Hold on folks.
On the contrary, that fat bitch has sung tens of thousands of times over the last few years. Wake up and acknowledge the carnage.
If you are still at Merck, hoping and praying your fundraiser request is honored, YOU are the idiot. The people with the biggest clue jumped at the FIRST opportunity to move on for MUCH more money than what the 'package' is worth today. L-SP folks who nailed the change in control package were the luckiest of the bunch, they just didn't know it at the time. I ran out right behind them but Mother didn't have change in control money for her own. Close to it, but they're no Fast Freddie. Those of you hanging on for pennies on the dollar compared to the 2010-11 packages are a laugh.
Good advise. Wait to see if your lottery ticket hits before concluding that it won't. Boo hoo for you if you are wrong.
