That's not thrue. They were years behind companies they purchased, as was Schering Plough. They did not look how Organon performed R&D and what methods they used, they were for the pipeline and all the R&D had to be discarded, the sooner the better. But the R&D of Organon had the candidates for development, not Merck, not SP, that's why they bought it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241416962008169508.post-41822608020788074332011-07-22T20:15:40.838-04:002011-07-22T20:15:40.838-04:00The best thing that could happen to Merck requires...The best thing that could happen to Merck requires total decapitation of the management. Self-serving and coersive, they will never change. The prevailing attitude is that they are brilliant and special. And well, if their poor decisions and lackey behaviors take the company done, well that's OK by them - they are lining their pockets right now. There have been some recent promotions to higher levels, so they can retire earlier, walking away with even more. Unbelievable.

Personnel does not know to be happy with the situation, they kept their job or to be crying because of the bad atmosphere introduced by Merck. <br /><br />[Originally posted: June 21, 2011]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241416962008169508.post-88855947719134492772011-07-16T11:27:42.146-04:002011-07-16T11:27:42.146-04:00Fierce BioTech has a story on accelerating efforts...Fierce BioTech has a story on accelerating efforts to <a href="http://www.fiercebiotech.com/story/developers-come-knocking-merck-lines-its-pipeline-sale/2011-07-06" rel="nofollow">license or sell large swaths of non-core Merck tech</a>:<br /><br />I wonder how many of the pipeline candidates up for sale are from the Merck vs. the S/P development candidates?<br /><br />For the record, Dr. Chatterjee is a legacy S/P employee so, I think it gives more credence to your position that this was about a S/P bust up.<br /><br />[Orginally posted: July 11, 2011]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241416962008169508.post-89178808396908179982011-07-16T11:24:05.807-04:002011-07-16T11:24:05.807-04:00On top of all this, another round of layoffs, st N...On top of all this, <a href="http://www.pharmalot.com/2011/07/merck-job-cuts-to-pick-up-steam/" rel="nofollow">another round of layoffs, st New Merck</a> -- per Pharmalot!<br /><br />Ah, Fast Freddie -- gotta love what he and his crew has accomplished<br /><br />[Originally posted: July 13, 2011]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
