Sent Friday morn to USBO all staff and GCO VPs and EDs, though Amgen’s email lists are usually not fully complete.

You either don’t read your email or you aren’t on the distribution list which is ironic since you said you’re in the OBU. What the OP stated is 100% true and additionally BH already confirmed his departure via LinkedIn post. Wonder who is up next for these VP roles? Unfortunately there aren’t many good senior leaders left to choose from these days.

BH? In the OBU? No such person, VK left before Christmas, JD is still here as is now Jasper. So I have no idea what you are talking about. As I said, no email on Friday. Yes I work here.

I’m literally floored you could be in the OBU and not know who “BH” aka Brian Heath is since he’s been the VPGM of the Oncology business unit for the last two years. Jasper has nothing to do with Oncology - if you do work at Amgen you are seriously disconnected.

Keep in mind OBU to some is Ophthalmology in rare disease, NOT Oncology… that may explain it

No worries, we have wonder boy JW to the rescue. He single handedly drove success with Otezla globally. A real innovator.

The OBU has toxic leadership. It’s no secret. Big reason for turnover

OBU has THE MOST TOXIC leadership in this company. There are leaders that are asking their reps to do crazy things! Complete micromanagement!

OBU (Oncology) at Amgen pays specialty salaries at other pharma companies. Leave you, idiots, you're severely underpaid. Also, who tf thought it was a good idea to make specialized oncology reps sell an eye drug?
