Too Numerous To Count

Who's the TNTC group?

[quote]JC - stop with these stupid contaminating activities and spreading bullshit - you have gone/fired! That's it....you'ld better focus on future.[/quote]If I were you (only three possibilities here), I wouldn't dig up the dead! Certainly not That Dead, you made a very stupid decision on that topic and if you don't want to unleash a firestorm of criticism from a large number of us who sat quietly by and had to endure the pain while we sucked up the slack and were asked to work harder then I suggest you leave it be or we will all continue to pick at the wound as it's not healing like you planned.The Lonza Hopkinton TNTC group

JB better focus on the Future of our business and not the Past. It's nice he has time to spend on the Rumor Mill but it would be even better if he spent that time being a Leader. He thinks he knows what it means to Lead but we haven't seen proof of that yet. So as far as "Global Head of HR" yes, he would be perfect for the role, but only at Lonza.

What about JB, the new global head of HR? That guy is something else!came from Cambrex

anyone who works at lonza is retarded

"Darauf kannst du Gift nehmen"Not quite literally, "you bet yer a$$."I love google!

JC - stop with these stupid contaminating activities and spreading bullshit - you have gone/fired! That's it....you'ld better focus on future.

If anyone on the rumor mill remembers all the Portsmouth Posts that mentioned hiring your parents, drinking too much, working too little, golfing too much and/or sleeping around too much then you hit the A$$ right on the head, the infamous J.H. will be making his return visit to the rumor mill and it should be interesting. Someone called for this reply several posts back but no one had the balls to pen a post, Hmmm? Well here it is folks; Portsmouth is struggling a bit, too few clients, too much capacity and to many workers so the "A - Number One son" (said with tongue firmly in cheek) and the subject of oh so many "Hardy Boy & Nancy DoNothing mysteries" is moving down to Hopkinton. His management, peers and subordiantes in Portsmouth are happy to see him go and the funny thing is that the Microbial business is being told that he is "Ready for the Challenge", What a joke! Ready with what? He has no Microbial experience or upstream of any sort, $ucks as a manager and has no capital project experience - Brilliant! He will lead you all to success! Just wait and see! HeeHee HaaHaa the jokes on you Hopkinton!The theme song "Here comes Juerg's Scapegoat" is playing now...I heard about this site last night and sadly, I had to check it out. The saddest thing is though, that so many people are so miserable and angry in their own lives that they feel the need to write about things like this about people. I think it's mean and unfair to all involved.You have no idea how the hurtful gossip that you say here or anywhere can affect peoples' LIVES. Whatever anyone has done or hasn't done, is absolutely none of anyone else's business and the fact that you blog about it on a bio website is incredibly sad (for you), but mostly just immature and mean. If you are a perfect person, I am really happy for you, but if you are not, who are you to judge anyone? Grow up. I know this probably isn't going to help anything, immature people will stay immature and probably write mean things about me now, but that's okay. While you are posting your silly little blogs, I am making myself a better person. This world has so much negativity already, why don't we all be better people than this. By the way, JH is a nice guy,it is my business when these people lie to me and screw me over. let them do something to you and see how you react then.[/quote]What everyone is asking about JH is "what does he bring to the Hopkinton site"? JH could be the nicest guy in the world but that is not the only thing the site needs if it needs it at all. It is good to see that Lonza is giving this guy a great oppurtunity but at what cost? Hopefully JH is hard working and knows what he is doing, on top of being a nice guy. That he is an asset to the site and not an ass. If JH turns out to be a train wreck it will impact a lot of people at the Hopkinton. There are a lot of good people at Hopkinton that are hanging on by a thread, I just JH isn't the one to break it.[/quote]Why are a lot of people hanging by a thread?[/quote]Tough schedules, lots of work, changing of culture, not enough resources, etc etc. People are giving it their all and are at an ultimate level of stress. If JH goes in there and causes more problems than he solves the good people that work there might not think it is worth sticking around.[/quote]Hmmm . . . tough schedule? heavy workload? few resources? Welcome to biotech! I probably wouldn't wait for someone to come in and make things worse if I were already "hanging by a thread."[/quote]

[quote]C'mon what's it mean? Someone translate please...TR, you've been strangely quiet, can you translate?[/quote]Basically means "the worst is yet to come."

C'mon what's it mean? Someone translate please...TR, you've been strangely quiet, can you translate?

Sounds like Hopkinton Management speaking in those last few posts."Growing by leaps and bounds""should be an exciting time""a few growing pains""Don't get sucked in"Give us a Fuc%ing Break! If you asked any Swiss blooded Lonza guy they would tell you the same thing...Das dicke Ende kommt noch.For those of you who only ever learned to barely speak English maybe you can have Ignaz or Jurg translate for you! Then get your resume in order, Massachusetts ecomony is getting worse and the job market is shrinking.

If people are already bailing let them bail. If they can't hack a few growing pains they are not likely to be a great deal of help to anyone when the real work starts anyway. The ones to watch out for are the ones that stay around but at the same time undermine the efforts of those trying to move forward with company goals. Don't get sucked in.[/quote]Sounds like is time of many communication problems!

Does that woman have all her papers in order to even work in the United States? I understand our government letting in people who can help this nation out, add some value, bring something to the table but given me a Fuc%ing break, she needs to go!

We already have that other monkey, she is the HR Head (AV and it doesn't stand for Audio Visual) and she can play all three parts by herself...

How can Jon be Tony's successor, TR might do nothing but JH knows nothing.Hey, combined with another Monkey who sees nothing you have a Lonza Hopkinton Trifecta!

People want to make the goals, complete tasks on schedule, etc, that is why they are stressed. The point is if JH walks in and adds to that level of stress it could put some people over the edge.

Welcome to biotech! I probably wouldn't wait for someone to come in and make things worse if I were already "hanging by a thread."

Ahhh, your tired of the bitching and moaning but you take the time to read it all and then respond to it. Ask yourself why? Becuase you are drawn to this site like you can't avoid rubber necking when going by an acciedent on the highway. It's human nature, you can't stop yourself, and neither can the Unhappy People in Hopkinton who makes these posts. So I never understand why people on this site say quit the bitching and moaning. That is mostly why this site Lives On other than the little funny jabs people toss in at their favorite goat just it to keep the thread rolling.Rock on Lonza Posters and JH has a little schmekle, "first chick" told me!

I wish you Lonza losers would get new lives - or end them. We're tired of your collective moaning & bitching.

In response to the person that feels bad for Tone loc...have you ever had someone threaten to destroy your career??? You won't catch me feeling bad for the big ragu...

The post was not intended to pick on A.J., from what we can tell at this early juncture he is a bright kid following in his dad's foot prints, no blame on him, the blame is on Senior and the focus will always be on him since he is the public figurehead at the site.The nepotism is the interesting part. Anyone out there think it is wise for a leader to hire their children into a public company, under their direct report? This poster doesn't think so. Care to comment?

C'mon!When you are near the top of the food chain you have to have a thick skin because everyone will take shots at you.This is "the rumor mill" and if the word "rumor" doesn't connote what type of site this is to you.....go watch Oparah and make yourself feel better. You really think Tony (or anyone else talked about on this board) is up weeping at night because people say bad things (true or untrue)? Try sitting through some real business meetings, physically across from a berating A-hole (there were many in corporate Cambrex). Maybe you should stop by and give Tony a hug.....after decades in this business I am sure he needs it.....
