Person of Color at Allergan


Hey there Social Justice Warrior. You might want to ask a deeper question. Since you need a four year degree just to get an interview, what percentage of Black working age people have a degree. The fact is only 59% of Black males graduated from high school as of 2019. Only 31% of all working adults in the USA have a college degree. Of that number, 11% of four year degrees were conferred on Black students. 69% went to white students. So in a country where the majority of people, regardless of race don’t have a college degree, Black adults with four year degrees make up a minuscule percentage of the work force. Companies like ours bend over backwards to fill positions with people of color. Even bypassing white and Asian candidates with better qualifications to try and do the right thing. I hired ten people last year. Worked my ass off to bring in diverse candidates because I think it’s healthy for the organization and society as a whole. I interviewed about 100 people. Had maybe 8 people of color apply who met the qualifications for the role.

You want to blame someone, blame the education system in our cities that bow and scrape to the teachers unions who turn out poorly prepared students and graduate about half the kids that come from Black and brown homes. They don’t care about the kids. They are interested in tenure, mammoth raises and pension for life after retiring at 55.
 


People of color here at Allergan is more than what is at Evolus, Revance and Galderma. But you have to question why two start up aesthetic companies could find no people of color to bring on board. Galderma expanded a couple of times in recent years and when you look LinkedIn you see one person of color in aesthetics in aesthetics. I'm a socially conscious person and I have to admit we do a good job at Allergan compared to those other companies.

Exactly! We have more than all of those companies combined.
 




Maybe... just MAYBE... the reason blacks dont hold high level positions can be attributed to something other than racism ;) protip- its the same everywhere in the world. But i bet thats just because everywhere is so mean and racist huh.

‘Great point. Racism has nothing to do with it. Think about it.
 




Allergan (legacy prior to Actavis) was 99% white. For the record, Allergan Botox Tx ran out most every person of color. Julian was the only one in management that wasn’t as white as sclera in the eye. Ask JK how much diversity and inclusion impacts hiring field positions? Mikey T RD in East is very racist. How many Black field people has he pushed out? At least 3 including a manager. I hope Abbvie displaces every manager and regional director (with more than 10 years tenure) in that division. Too much dead racist weight.
 




Never in all my years, have a felt a giant disconnect with racial injustice as I do now. AbbVie continues to send message after message to everyone about it and I applaud their commitment to the cause. Yet upper management at Allergan is obsessed with numbers and numbers and more numbers. We don’t get messages on it from Allergan executives at all until they are forced to and when it’s too late. Cause your true nature has shown through.
Every upper management position is white. Manager are almost all white, regional directors are white, marketing is white and training is white. How is it with such an ethically diverse country that the division I belong to, is less then 10% people of color?
You want racial injustice just look at management at Allergan and tell me if you don’t see it.


Maybe you should take a look a qualifications and not just skin color. If you hire someone based off of skin color that is racist. If you hire someone off of their qualifications you get the best person.

That’s because white people are ignorant. They only deal with their own. The excuse they use is they feel more comfortable with their own. Forget talent. Idiots then go overboard with their feelings when it comes to being forced to hire due to EOE and make it difficult for the minority to succeed. Self-hatred..They can’t resolve that it’s true: we are equal.

Allergan has monkeys working in corporate. They’re Albino monkeys..All clueless.
 



You need a degree to work in sales? LMAO

College degrees are simply degrees of privilege…mostly white privilege. That’s how you keep financially inferior students out of higher salary workforce. It’s the biggest scam white America has going. No one needs a degree to sell a product to people. You need people skills. You don’t earn a degree in people skill. But don’t tell white America this.
