As former Director of Scientific Information Resources for Merck Research Labs a decade ago, I emphasized the importance of new investment in informatics tools and databases to promote new drug discovery.Unfortunately, I reported to a computer businessperson without a medical or science background, who did not seem to comprehend my concerns.
I now note with sadness (and trepidation - I live in a Merck town) this new announcement:
Merck to Cut up to 13,000 (more) jobs by 2015
They will accelerate layoffs since they "cannot meet their goals just by eliminating vacant jobs." This will involve sales, marketing, etc. and will start by October.
Financial News Network video here.
There is truth to the adages, told to me by an old-time jeweler/numismatist years ago in his shop, that:
- "If you want to make a sale, you have to have the merchandise"
- "You can't do business from an empty wagon."
