With a focus on profits and the stock price the contempt has now shifted to the customer as well. It is truely a sad commentary on this company and the loss of focus on people....employees and customers.

We're busting our butts over here, undergoing a transformation to a "Lean" organization, and we see this. Makes you feel devalued as an employee. Nice... If I was this blunt in an external interview, I'd be fired. This is not behavior we should expect from a senior executive.

AZ has had a lamentable year in terms of its PR management. Buckets of money, disrepute, bad science and now spin. AZ need to lose a few dinosaurs. (and on a very minor but related note, that ad is damn annoying...) 100% spot on, Ed. AZ has had a lamentable year in terms of its PR management.
