A MUST READ "THE WHISTLEBLOWER" by EX-PFIZER VP Dr. PETER ROST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WOW! Has anyone else read this book??
And to think that Pfizer paints itself out to be a proud, American company. How can they say, act, and do the things they do when an employee simply voices his own political views?
Pretty scary if you ask me.
Then again this is Pfizer. We all know what happens in Pfizer when you share your opinion in Pfizer.
I wonder if thats why Jeff Kindler said in St. Louis recently that the "One thing" he would change about our company is taking away the fear people have about sharing ideas and coming forward.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm looking forward to getting a transcript of what Mr. Kindler said at that meeting . . . stay tuned.

In 2003 Harward Business review had an article intitled "Is silence killing your company" in which they instructed big business to let their people "speak up" in the interest of the company's well being and survival.
One of the biggest of the big pharma's top bosses located in one of the prettiest countries in Europe, where pharmaceutical business was in fact invented, and where they do not make Timex watches, issued a world wide memo intitled "speak up at ...." and the security and the well being of any such employee would be strictly guaranteed.
What a laugh. The first case that amounted to "poster person" for speaking up was destroyed by the powers of several predators on this company's food chain. Everything was covered up and the life goes on in the happy big pharma. They decided it was much better they only allow speaking up that is warshiping and praising the actions of the corporate elite. The rules of HBR do not apply in big pharma. They are business above everything including laws of this country. No one can kill them, not by not speaking up or anything else. Harward better rewrite their rules.
So hold your horses, pfizer person. If Jeff or anyone else comes up with some rules of speaking up at pfizer, that would be your clue to do oposite. Their codes of conduct and any other rules are for public consumtion and they stop at the Co. gate. One can only NOT imagine what kind of talk is going on in their boardrooms and other senctuaries wher they plot their strategies.
