Massive Layoffs

It would not be in as much trouble if they would employ people that had even a shred of credibility

 

I work in IO R&D - who says there will be layoffs!?

 

The poster is trying to stir up problems. BMS is actually hiring not laying off. Yes, BMS was foolish to push the all IO strategy but the ship has been righted now.

 

Yeah its hiring because everyone is leaving.

 

This is a really valid point there is so much turnover right now it’s unbelievable. Everyone in my district throws everyone else under the bus and then when you complain about it the manager says that it’s people “holding each other accountable”. Seriously? What an unbelievable shit hole of a company. Toxic

 

If you are still in the OBU, you have less than 5 years and cant find another job OR have 20+ years and are coasting it out (SLS). Merck is helping more patients and that is a shame. Who would join this team?

 

The end is near

 

Now there’s 9 little peas in a pod...

 

not for long.....

 

Tick Tock

 

Legacy Celgene is running this show.

 

Is it Monday that I am fired?

 

Be thankful.

 

Let’s see what Celgene can do when given the keys to the car. RV is very sharp and makes good decisions so early development should be in good shape. I only saw SH in action a few times but he was well liked at Novartis. BMS should do fine provided that Tyk 2 gets approved. AL said his team has been on the sidelines waiting for good lung data. Well he has it now. Time to buckle up the helmet and get into the game. Probably good to move some of the senior leaders from legacy BMS into other roles and promote up some of the younger, hungrier talent. Never underestimate BMS, they always punch back hard.

 

When can we expect the ax to fall on the pea pods?

 

Any day.

 

Heard that LVL Oncology Discovery was terminated yesterday. Sad news.

 

Completely untrue. Hey buddy, it’s not funny to post such horrible lies on this board.

 

Heard it happened.

 

I work in the LVL Oncology Discovery department and I can vouch that the entire department was laid off on January 6th.
