Christmas Gifts

Spot in! This tool has a very socialist mindset that we should all
Pay the price for their misfortune. News flash, this is the United States and that won't fly here.

 

Wow...heartless..

 

Hey d-bag, I'm just saying don't complain that you didn't get another iPad from Novo this Christmas.

There are bigger things to fret about, that is my point.

 

^ you're an asshole. Check back in April when you are waiting for your call from HR. Douche bag.

 

Hey all you complainers out there crying about your Christmas gift, Remember, greed is a sin and karma will bite you in the ass you greedy people. And I am employed and making way more money than you are. Have some gratitude and grow up.

 

Sure. I'm an asshole. I was allowed to be happy and want a cool gift when this guy (probably you) had a job. But, now that he doesn't, we all have to wallow in pity and feel guilty for hoping we get a nice present. I assume once this guy gets a new job, we're back to the usual? Funny how this guy's employment situation gets to define how we all feel over the holiday season. Well, my grandfather died not that long ago. All of you who have living grandfathers should feel terrible this holiday season because you have a grandfather to spend the holidays with, and I don't. Wallow in your guilt. No one gets to be happy unless I'm happy. Is that the game we're playing?

And, I might get my pink skip in April. If I do, I promise not be on here telling you how you should all feel because I don't have a job. And, the only douche bag here is the one feeling sorry for himself and chiding others for not joining in his pity party.

 

I think you mixed God and Karma all together in one. And, if you're counting sins, pride is another one that you seem guilty of.

You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye. --Matthew 7:5

 

$20 actual value but we get taxed on the $100. Essentially, it is $20 loss.

Merry Christmas you filthy animal.

 

Every single thing that made NNI a great place to work is gradually falling away. I joined this company in 2010 and it saddens me to have seen its erosion, especially since 2013.

It's still a good job and I am still grateful to have it, but I am no longer proud to work here, no longer the first to stand-up and defend the NNI Way.

I will work hard to put food on the table for my family but I will not put the extra effort in because I believe that this company respects it's people.

It's not just the Christmas gift. It's the accumulation of all the little signals that we no longer matter from the disastrous realignment last year to the health audit to the layoff to the constant expense and sample nit picking to the cut budgets...we could go on and on.

It's all pathetic.

 

What is funny is that you actually have to pay for those 20 wtg points. It's true!

 

Exactly - it's not the gift it is the new reality that what made NNI unique is lost. Watch and see for yourselves. The best will leave and the remaining will be managed by fear as they "hold on" for as long as they can. The culture will never recover and NNI will be just another pharma company.

 

It is really entertaining to read this post. Feel bigly bad for the guy with the stay at home wife and three kids and no job.
Feel in worst for the arrogant prick for picking on him for being in a bad situation.
Feel even worst for the dummy's who say karma will get you back.
We have made a living on the backs of the sick. Shame on all of us for it.

 

It's funny how much money they spent on Christmas gifts over the years.

 

Ghandi, is that you?

 

One question - If you all hate everything about NN and the Christmas gift, why don't you simply leave?

 

Good idea! I'm working on it. It's ppl like you that just don't get it (guessing you work in the home office or a Director?). You can't treat your underlings like shit and expect anything good to come as a result. Leading by fear and intimidation also won't work. A Christmas gift from our company became a signature "thank you" to employees. Again, when you see how much our company nets and they can't share with their employees? That's terrible. It's principle.

 

Plenty of people have and will continue to. Some of us felt that Novo would right the ship and then back towards valuing it's employees. With each fresh insult, it is becoming clearer by the second that this is not the case, and as such, the drip drip drip of talent exodus will soon become a torrent.

When you take the arrogant position that every employee is interchangeable, this is what you get - the hollowing out of a once great company. An organization that is eating itself alive.

Many of us don't "simply leave" because we have obligations to our families to put food on the table and need to have sound exit strategies. Many landing spots it's the same shit or worse. Pharma is littered with the corpses of companies that long ago went down the path Novo is forging right now, which is why, for many of us, we are contemplating life outside of pharma.

 

The exodus has already begun. Good luck to everyone!

 

If you're only contemplating life outside of pharma, you need to ramp up your search. AZ laid off several hundred earlier this year. Sanofi is cutting over 25% of diabetes field force and marketers. Merck and Pfizer are about 1/3 the size they were 12 years ago. I just heard that Pfizer is going to move their HQ out of NYC (!!) soon. The list goes on and on: the ancient reach & frequency business model has run its course, and companies are going back to the 'two reps per doc' game plan.
