Who cares EE is running the show now

"How did you know I was immediate family. Even he doesn't know I exist"

Oh, i don't know - he must have smelled the sheep dip.

How did you know I was immediate family. Even he doesn't know I exist.

absolutely; can we have more posts from people who actually know him and are aware of his multi-deficiency and less from cheerleaders and his immediate family. And please stop assigning rare blips of success to individual managers. Occasionally, good things happen by chance on someones watch. There are many cogs in the machine and success simply reflects a combination of good people at the coal face simply getting on with things as best they can and blind luck. No medicine has ever been found by managerial intervention. In contrast, many have not made it because of the managerial talents of the 'Mersons' and 'Rolphs' of the world.
Can you imagine what would have happened if their type had been placed in charge of Sir James Black. "Look, I really don't see where this rational drug design is going to get us. I mean, beta-blockers? Is there really a market? At your grade you really should be more hands off. Here, read this book called 'Who Moved My Cheese'. And I need all your staff reviews done asap."

the continued existence of JM simply strengthens the argument for development of a knob-seeking-missile.

"proved himself"

utter nonsense. Turnaround happened despite him, not because of him. He will no doubt coast to retirement on some illusion of success but that does not detract from the accuracy of the previous statements.

After latest announcements, I bet you wish you could retract that last statement. He has proved himself and turned around the Vaccines unit to gain confidence in the future of this unit within Pfizer.

Yes. Agreed!!

JM is a dickhead

Sounds like someone is feeling a little a little bit of hostility with these pretty realistic comments!

Rubbish. You are bitter and twisted and should get a life yourself or alternatively leave and get a proper job. Also, you are a coward using anonymity yet naming others specifically.

How many times does JK get mentioned in this forum ?? Also the disclosure of any in insider Pfizer dealings that can influence share price etc is much more of a bigger deal than how much of a pencil di%k JM really is.

In regard to VR and the ex CSO (JM). I am stunned to see this idiot of a prententious manager still connected to Pfizer.

The sooner someone sees through him, the sooner Pfizer will be a better organization.

Posting someone's name in a negative way as a way to attack someone is cyberstalking. Everyone might want to read the federal law before they post again. I read it after the stalker was convicted of filming the ESPN reporter through the peephole.

If you are posting other people's names, you should have the guts to post your real name. Otherwise, you are just a coward.

Give him a break. He is one of the good guys who wants to do a good job for the company.

I have no idea who JM is, but he sounds like a winner.

I hear JM is a big hit with the VR ladies.

At least he his good at something. Must be his height and ability to go to places where no man has gone before.

I think JM is good at two things....

1) Screwing things up

2) Making other people screw up

He is making 10 times....

actually, this does sound exactly like the Reverend Merson comment. This his attitude - not enough brain cells to make a synapse so lets focus on the money. On the assumption it is I would just like to say, James, you are, quite simply, the biggest twat I have ever worked with. Suresh C once referred to you no more than a specky oompa loompa; its a height thing with you, isn't it my short-arsed little friend.

"He is making 10 times more than you are with stock options and cash bonuses"

oh little girl, its all about money and personal earnings with you, isn't it. Graveyards are full of high earners. Heaven forbid you should consider contribution to health care in which case he, and you (or are you one and the same?) earn a big fat zero. Please aim your personal frustration in the correct direction i.e your biological parents.

He is making 10 times more than you are with stock options and cash bonuses.

can someone please clarify mersons position. I go way back with him from his early days as a Wylie and MacKay suck up through the decision to use him as a replacement for the incompetent tandem-riding Bojangles in Sandwich HTS. Given his medical condition (Juvenile Onset Imbecility) it seems highly unlikley that he would be kept on in any capacity. Must be out the door, surely. If not (note to investors), abandon all hope ye who enter here.

Same crap
Different location
Decision like this
Could only have been made
Under inebriation.

It's Vaccine Research take 2!

Same shit, different location - with fresh Wyeth products to trash. I understand the PFE ones were shelved. (Shows how good VR was).

Just heard that JM will still be fronting vaccine research.

This dude knows nothing! So why is he still involved in VR activities?

What the F(*^% is the former CSO still doing at Pfizer ????

Very nice site!

No major changes in Vaccines unit yet. JM still in the hot seat.

Very nice site!

Very nice site!

How true. A prime example of how to build a career on pure politics and zero contribution.

Have Vaccine research stopped working on their portfolio yet ?? Does not make much sense to keep going in such an unstable time.

Merson heading up something else... burger king??

There is nothing left for him to head up.

Heard a rumor that Merson has landed another very senior role heading up something so we haven't seen the back of him yet.

Does Pfizer enter the porn industry too ??? Man i hope i stay for that!

And who was viagra for ????

"PFE keeps Groton & Sandwich - closes STL, LAJ, Renat, RTC Cambridge, New London’s fate depends on tax breaks.

WYE keeps Pearl River, Andover & Cambridge – closes all other sites in PA, NY, NJ, NC, VA, UK, Europe."

You keep repeating this in every pfizer thread, who are you trying to convince ? yourself ?

PFE keeps Groton & Sandwich - closes STL, LAJ, Renat, RTC Cambridge, New London’s fate depends on tax breaks.

WYE keeps Pearl River, Andover & Cambridge – closes all other sites in PA, NY, NJ, NC, VA, UK, Europe.

VRU is a flop Pfizer bios couldn't hit their ass with both hands. Critical P II projects will fail but WYE will prop them up

We at wyeth hear that the pfizer vaccine research project leaders do not oversee their projects and are not qualified in the field. Is this true?

This is true..50% of them came from Pfizer internally (with no previous vaccine experience??!!) and the rest were university rejects or small biotech experience. They have not got a clue.

We at wyeth hear that the pfizer vaccine research project leaders do not oversee their projects and are not qualified in the field. Is this true?

Of course it is true - ask any PFE scientist - they are ruled by managesr who do not know what work their reporst do - scientifically speaking. That was the undoing of PFE science - the managerial ladder dictating to the scientific ladder.

So true!!

Pfizer buys wyeth...

Pfizer fires wyeth

Pfizer retains internal vaccine "talent"

Pfizer continues it's horrific vaccine program.

Pearl river operations are ramping up. I have seen a lot of job adverts. What does this mean for the rest for the rest of vaccine research?

i would not trust Merson to flip burgers..he would screw it up and pretend burnt burgers are good for you....

"Vaccine CSO will be in charge of everything including discovery through phase 4 clinical. THis will not be in the business units as all other TA's, it will be different for vaccines."

sort of true, except vaccine still falls under "Specialty Care" which is with GG from wyeth, right?

Vaccine CSO will be in charge of everything including discovery through phase 4 clinical. THis will not be in the business units as all other TA's, it will be different for vaccines.

I guess pfizer VR people can't write english properly either.

>>We at wyeth hear that the pfizer vaccine research project leaders >>do not oversee their projects and are not qualified in the field. >>Is this true?

>>I hope we are not totally doomed!

Yes it is true. I think the new Wyeth CSO will scream when looking at what Pfizer Vaccine work. It is strange how most of the RPLs in Vaccine Research were taken from different TAs that were being cut. That instantly tells you why unsuccessful VR has been! (also JM knows nothing about biologics)

We at Pfizer are very interested in the Wyeth portfolio and how operations are run.

Can't be as pfu%^ed up as PFE!

If you love them, set them free!

JM!
