FUCK ALL OF YOU, YOU PANSEY ASS CUNTS

are you referring to Heather or Kate or big a$$ Debbie?.

wow, I thought we were buying a great company. from this site it looks like many of the life emps or the posers are such a bunch of babies!

Starting from Greg Lucier down to his executive staffs, all fricking babies.

TMO back out of this deal now. LIFE is full of craps from top down. You are paying premium for a POS of a company. If it is too late to back out, just close these sites
Carlsbad, Foster City, Pleasanton, Austin, Brown Deer, Madison, Eugene, Frederick, Bedford, Framingham and Grand Island.

Ther,o watch their backs..lifers will be coming for their jobs and will backstabbing to save themselves. Just watch how nice people will be to your face. Then stab you in the back when heir asses are on the line

One thing Life isn't, a great company.

what a bunch of lame ass wipes stupid cry babies! go get real jobs!

don't forget to fuck off first... HaHaHaHa

just quit and die!

FUCK ALL OF YOU, YOU PANSEY ASS CUNTS

Its a smart deal if they can cut enough costs to off-set declining business and sell Ion to Roche for a large premium. It will be interesting to see how Thermo deals with all the borderline practices Lucier has used to keep the earnings looking decent.

It might be a smart deal but people will still lose their jobs all over the world. Panic will set in and huge mistakes will be made. Third parties will get involved and the infrastructure will collapse. That is reality, so you should get your head around that. All hope is gone and the Death Star will implode.

Wow, you really don't know TMO very well. This is a very strategic acquisition and pretty smart. TMO will continue to put R&D to this one. Casper is a smart dude..

Waiting for severance is a fools errand. There aren't many jobs out there, if you can get one take it!

MD is an at-will state. Company is not required to give you diddly! You only get severence if the company for compelling reasons to give it to you. They don't have to. If you get 2 weeks for every year count yourself lucky. If you wait until such time, you may find yourself competing with your friends and co-workers for the same job. If you see the ax falling it is best to get out of the way. KC

are you kidding me ? You obviously did not noticed the changes made in your clauses last year... if you signed that, you will get the absolute minimum in your state/country and only if your job is made obsolete.

All the ex AB people, if you think youre getting a hefty severance think again, those days are over. 2 weeks per year to a max of 6 months...

I manage a Dx assay group and a bioinformatics software group here in Singapore.

You must be incredibly special to be able to handle those two diverse areas. I'm especially impressed, given LIFE's world leadership in those fields. But then again, there must be many of you in Singapore, otherwise you're telling HR precisely who you are. On the other hand, it could be a double bluff... One of your underlings trying to get you fired for posting on Biofind...

"I manage a Dx assay group and a bioinformatics software group here in Singapore. If they DARE to lay me off, they have to pay hefty severance package."

Unless they dig up something you have done against policy.

Common ones are - using work pc's/laptops for non-work purposes or some spurious "attitude" problem.

Then they'll just fire your ass.

I've seen someone fired for posting the location of a Sales Meeting on FaceBook. Obviously someone they wanted out anyway.

Why is this board so quiet? Is everyone looking for another job?

First of all, here is my equation to describe the takeover:

Thermo / + Life \ = |
| - \ = ~

Now, lets have a best company name competition

Life Thermologies
Thermo Lifer Biofishstems
Thermo Fisherific Technologies
InvitroFish Thermal Underpants
Argos

Lets keep it simple, Former Life Tech Snitch And Brownnosers Association.

What now. When will these massive cuts take place, next year when TMO actually takes ove or sooner?

"It could be that people are actually working now, trying to save their buts so that they are not laid off. It is really funny how that works. I bet that you cant see people's faces because they have their heads stuck up their manager's but trying to save their job."
------------------------

They are sitting in the break rooms and outside with the smokers listening to everything thats said and taking careful notes and reporting back to their supervisors and trying to get their "friends" fired. Sad thing is no amount of ass kissing will save none of them, because their dept. is more than likely on the chopping block. I hope I run into some of them brownnosing lackeys one day so I can knock the living shit out of their pansy asses.

The FTC is all over LIFE, investigations are underway, have been for some time now. Should be wrapping up soon. Expect names up to Lucifer, to be named in the suit.

hope thermo starts at GIBCO, rumors of flooding the market and price fixing for years

Why is nobody selling their shares in LT, does Thermo not offer enough? Perhaps the owners are still waiting for more news; perhaps the hedge funds can kill even more parts of LT

If they just got rid of the brownnosers and snitches about 85% of the staff would be gone. Then they could rebuild their workforce from scratch.

A lot more than deadweight is going to be shed, they will close whole sites and groups.

"The will start with the worthless hr fakes in ..."

No the bitch of it is HR always gets a pass. First rule of HR, HR looks out for HR.

Bottom line is that the new company will eliminate deadweight in the company. The will start with the worthless hr fakes in cb who sit on their fat asses all day and then move to large support functions ucb as it, finance tc. People in hr will be sved based an how good thy give bj s to pl, so sa, ds and pls nanny will be saved to terrorize tmo employees.

more debt in the company, more intangible assets on the balance. When TMO is blown up together with the other bubbles we will have the next crisis which will happen. only need to find out when.

Kelly C, you are worthless. Ask Macera, he will tell you to your face.

They won't for long. .. Say goodbye slackers

"GL was kicked out now. He is obviously a loser proved to be incompetent to run a bigger business. As I know from TMO, 99% of Life high level leadership will be kicked out because they were seen as stupid guys with low capability."

------------------------

Not to mention alot of the now redundant depts. TMO will close down now. like Distribution. That one in particular needs to be shut down and scattered to the wind since it's been run by morons the past decade.

Does Life have a marketing department?

--------------------

I doubt it, Life couldnt sell oxygen on the moon.

"The good managers at LT are being stretched so thin that they spend more time in their offices now than actually knowing their people. If Life tries to put you on salary be very scared, it means you will feel guilty for taking time off and will work 12 - 14 hours a day."

--------------------------

Well at least one supervisor must have snapped under the strain at the Frederick site because I see they have an opening for a Mid-Day Supervisor. Anyone know which one quit or got fired?

Just like some other companies I know. Its down to bad management when staff start sucking up and cc senior managers in petty emails.

Bunch of petty idiots who camt do their own job. Run to teacher when they see something against a set of rules.

Though it would be nice to see some of the upper echelon scum get tossed out, I was referring to some of the lower level "grunts" who work with me and I use the term "work" loosely since they spend all day running to our supervisiors informing on their coworkers for petty shit.

The Mr/Ms Remora of which there are 1000's within Lifetech and ThermoFisher. Parasites.

Who is "UK"?

At Lonza I presume? That dump is even worse than Life.
--------------------------------------------------------

I guess the stink follows the sh*t. AKA UK

Well maybe not worse then Life, but Lonza is a close second.LOL

How is that possible?
