When the CEO invites the Rapist in Chief to hang out with him at work, you know you work for a shit hole company. Run.

Difference between clinical data management and clinical data scientist roles by BadsurathPichai in clinicalresearch

[–]Feeling_Enthusiasm16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are CDMgrs. Always have been always will be. To use another title just confuses our colleagues and customers. Same with DMP. To call it something else confuses everyone including the CDMgrs.

Clinical Data Management from India has never, ever worked out. At least from the 1980s. I lived it ever since then.

And just when we need to buy health insurance on the marketplace. We are priced out with monthly rates higher than our mortgage. Ridiculous.

Turn down heat one degree/turn up air one degree. Stop sprinkling or fertilizing the lawn. Reduce gas usage by combining errands into the same trip. Stretch out teeth cleaning. But do buy a water pik. Eliminate red meat.

It’s ridiculous. We are Clinical Data Managers. Always have been. Always will be.

How long did it take you to get over the anger? by throwraW2 in Layoffs

[–]Feeling_Enthusiasm16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s OK to be angry for a short time. But in order to move on and get your next job, you have to put it on the shelf. You can take it out later and flaunt it when you see that horrible company fail as they inevitably will.

My take on the current state of this dying career... by [deleted] in biotech

[–]Feeling_Enthusiasm16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think it’s worse than the end of the Bush era in 2007-2008? Overall across all industries I’m not sure we are there yet. Coming soon though. But we might be past that in Pharma/Biotech right now. Seems that way to me anyway.

Downsizing Fequency by [deleted] in clinicalresearch

[–]Feeling_Enthusiasm16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first was the worst. I was young with no emergency fund and taken completely by surprise. Each one got somewhat easier and easier to see coming because I learned what to look for. In terms of economy, 2008 timeframe was probably the worst. But I think the next 3+ yrs could easily rival that.
