I highly doubt that doubt sales reps will be affected, but you never know - Amgen is sometimes weird. We'll be mostly moving R&D and operations out of ATO...

No announcement internally. But word of mouth spreads in this small community. Manufacturing says goodbye to 700. Overall 1300 this year, >25% site reduction. Trimming down to be bought?

Not sure why people seem so surprised by layoffs, when they've been a part of doing business for Amgen for years. Every now and then we'll get a new reorganization that always includes a round of layoffs. Office morale has been hitting new lows... — read more
