Warning to reps looking at Cubist openings



Again, Mr. Wizard, you are wrong. Conspiracy theorist and spreading more lies and conjecture. I can leave whenever the hell I want to. And have tried and not one person has called and told me I couldnt leave because of a non-compete clause. Not one person that I know of at MC that came over from Cubist is being sued for leaving so it sounds like its a select few that probably did some shit they werent suppose to. And again, you could be talking out of your ass. You don't know what or how much was taken. You got proof of that? Just a roster? Pull your head out of your ass and ask yourself a simple question. Do you REALLY think Cubist would gain anything by keeping people here that don't want to be here? Do you think those disgruntled reps who are "held here without any chance of leaving" are really going to be happy here and perform? Fuck no. You cannot force people to stay. If they want out, so be it. but to me the whole MC process of recruiting us was pretty shady and yes, I believe they played you like a fiddle and played on your disdain for GS and TC to get you to come over. Easy pickens. That along with a nice salary, who wouldnt consider it. You were bamboozled.

In my best Southwest Airlines voice...Wanna get away...?
 
What is the best and worst things about this company? Recruiter called me but doesn't have any insight. I called a former rep but she wouldn't even take my call once she found out I was inquiring about Cubist.

Thanks
 
So much for our expansion. Who wants to get hired at a company and then told to hit the road 2 months later. It is crystal clear now why we didn't want to lose our CBMs to Durata and The Medicines. We needed a full house to pad our offer to Pfizer and then Merck. So, in hindsight, it appears we sued some reps with the sole intention to stop the bleeding and intimidate the remainder of the CBMs and RBDs. Very cut throat, but it may have worked. Now we are all likely out of a job.
 
If you accepted a job recently do not give notice! Stay at your current job! Nothing prevents Merck from canning you in a few months. They have institutional reps for all specialties and Major tenure/relationships! This will be a sh*t show.
 
they sued everyone that left… so maybe if we are laid off we can take a job with someone in the same space… or can we? surely they will release us if we get laid off and then go to work for the competitors?? or can we?

You don't get it, do you? GS doesn't want you to ever work in the INDUSTRY again! HE read some posts on CP and decided to make this personal. He literally said those words ("this is personal") during a recent conference call. He is on a rampage. Go get your teaching credential or real estate license.

Remember, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
 
Stop riding GS's d*ck! Of course TC is ruining the company via the culture that's the plan! He's getting us ready to be sold! Nobody is posting lies, this is our life here, I happen to love this company. I've made a shit ton load of $$$ over the past 7 years, have a ton of stock/options/RSU's. I figure I'll outlast all these clowns and still be sitting pretty at the end.

Still sitting pretty? Welcome (temporarily) to Merck.

And good luck finding a new job because Cubist reps are now officially blackballed on the open market because prospective employers are afraid of lawsuits due to your non compete. You will no longer be viewed as "eligible" candidates. It's already happening. I'm hearing it from my cubist colleagues. And it scares me to death.

Your money from your stock options won't last forever unless you are GS, RP or MB. In which case, congrats. You three played us like a fiddle.
