How would you describe the culture at GSK?

A question put to members of Cafepharma, a forum where reps, employees and former employees of GlaxoSmithKline get together to bitch about this particular pharmaceutical company.

How would you describe the culture at GSK?

Here's some of the answers:

"Kind of like a sick dog, that is clueless how to help itself, so it takes out its frustrations by actually biting itself. Yah, I think that would kind of sum it up!"

----

"One word.......CRIMINAL."

----

"Like weeks old milk- lumpy, sour, and definitely spoiled!"

----

"Culture...hmmm.... like...ahhhh...yogurt. More liked spoiled milk.The longer it is around ,the more it stinks."

----

Another thread asks the question, "Is GSK the company to join?"

Some answers:

"...Not only is GSK NOT the company to join, but it is not the industry to join either. I am not trying to be funny or cute, just being serious, just as you asked."

----

"I was in the home office for 13 years. DO NOT join this company. It is in a death spiral. The stress level and morale is way high and way low respectively. Management is terrible. They keep the bad ones and the good leave for other companies as soon as they can get out."

----

"I am one of countless people who would love to get the hell out of GSK if the market were better. GSK is one frustration after another and everyone is miserable."

Workers Group To Fight Job Cuts At GSK In Ware

WORKERS angry at job cuts at GlaxoSmithKline's Ware site are to hold a protest in the town on Saturday.

Threatened employees have organised themselves into a campaign group called the Ware Unite and Fight Group.

According to the Socialist Party website senior shop stewards seem resigned to the planned job cuts, which will see Ware's biggest employer axe 600 jobs at the Priory Street manufacturing plant in a 'restructuring programme'.

It seems that despite union representatives' stance "these workers want to fight".

They plan to leaflet the site and erect a stall in the town centre outside Tesco.

The group has drawn up a list of demands which includes: "no to compulsory redundancies, unite to organise a workplace meeting to listen to the members' views, democratic elections of all shop stewards' positions, and no preferential agreements with outside non-union companies."

They also plan to hold a public meeting on February 18 at The Drill Hall, in Amwell End.
