Because they deserve to be called out!
At least Vas had the balls to flat out say on Jan 14, 2023 Novartis has “No Intention” that’s cutting loose respiratory and eye meds at the moment. “At the moment” was the key part of the statement. That answer was so much better than a spineless answer of I’m not going answer questions about rumors.
I agree this was a cluster from the beginning. Novartis way over paid and then they botched the transition with the Shire people. PM & SR had their finger prints all over that debacle.
I agree this has little chance getting to 2024. The point should be then if that is in fact the case then why would Senior Management make everyone miserable with all busy work? Unless they are trying to drive people to leave the company! As far as I’m concerned it makes everyone unproductive instead of just allowing us to do what’s best Drs and patients.
Staying here on this death march for a severance package is not appealing. Most of us are waiting for the new products to break and the exodus will be on.
