I’ve had an ongoing dispute with Bristol-Myers. Their tactics in trying to suppress the truth are quite different to Glaxo’s. Restricting access to CP during working hours seems a fairly innocuous ruling.

Who cares, I am surprised it isn’t wide spread. Using the company computer to read and comment on Cafepharma should be banned. Do it from home, why use the company laptop for anything but company business, you are asking to be fired.

What’s all the fuss?

GSK folks can simply post from home (using a proxy).

Let’s not make everything a big deal.

Most unsuccessful whistleblowers get their information from the hard, factual, truth also.

Often times no one will listen.

Face it. There’s no profit for the lawyers in preventing death or injury.

Nor I dare say for the justice department either. The lawyers are only interested when there are penalities. That goes for DOJ too. It looks much better for their careers to have gotten a major fine or conviction than saying I prevented 10,000 people from being killed.

The latter can be argued with the former can’t.

Successful whistleblowers get their information from the truth. Hard, factual, truth. Those that “pretend” to blow the whistle, or better worded distort or just plain invent facts in order to blow the whistle should be debarred from ever working in pharma again.

Sounds alot like Glaxo is trying to force reps-employees into only listening to Glaxo Ideas. Seems to me we heard this before somewhere. Didn’t the Government take away the privilege to read at one time and weren’t there many stories written about that same thing?
Sounds like Glaxo is trying to HIDE something and they are taking their Ball and playing elsewhere. ****You would really think that if they spent more time trying to make their company the Best Company to Work for then they really wouldn’t receive the negative comments or even care about those comments!
Memo to Glaxo: Welcome to the 21st century, glad you could come by and while your here grow-up, grow some balls and fix things for the better!

I wonder if the CP ban is going to facilitate the creation of a group on Facebook?

Pharmavet,

Getting fired for porn would never happen at the FDA.

Just look at the SEC they’re now trying to retaliate against the SEC IG who reported it.

Viewing Pharmalot and Pharmagossip are another matter.

See no evil.
Hear no evil.
Definitely never document any evil.

Whistleblowers don’t get their hard evidence from the internet, blogorama, or even cafe pharma. Looks like securing all the wrong *exits* to me. Think again guys…..
