You are all probably wrong. If you view the really small cough cold and sales companies that really do not own a product Many merely resell as distributors and have no pipeline of products, zero managed care coverage, primarily acute drugs, and work for relatively financially tight companies. Examples are evident on the company boards. Atley, Athlon, Reliant, Hawthorn et al. These poor bastards are gambling on these low base pay, little benefits jobs as stepping stones to who knows what.
I just left gSK, and I know the big pharma honeymoon is over. Why? Little to do with the quality of the products as much as the immoral leadership of greedy zealots trying to capture whats best for today in exchange for any future. They all banked on BS projections and product hopes. A little FDA and congressional pressure on the industry comes from just stupid greedy arrogance. Does anyone believe that the generations to come will not expect growing government entitlements including meds? We played into their hands and now we are the bullseye in a class warfare battle.
Stay if you must,but break away if you can!
