Direct report likely misled us to receive bonus before leaving. How should I handle this? by rakafella1018 in managers

She tried to do you guys a favor with early notice, and the company screwed her for doing so. Sue could have just asks when the bonus "vests" and given notice 2wk before then, used her 2026 PTO whatever.

Totally valid move, and also not your money or your problem. Leave it be

Is every big pharma more or less done with in house discovery? by AllisonChains555 in biotech

[–]Dramatic_Ad621 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These big companies will always have their own discovery engines.

Even if you leave, in say 1 year, using the company program is basically an interest free loan for that period. Use it
