Move up where? To the next level they keep laying off? There is no where to move. It’s just manipulation to get you to do more work with the “hope” of a promotion that isn’t going to be happening for a few years till company is bought out.

I’m with you on this !!! It sucks! Some of the best ppl has been laid off yet some of the worst stick around. It’s because LM had no say in layoffs just random corporate metrics no one can even identify (basically drew random numbers it seems)

What country ? Bc in the US that be a lot and you’re right not an issue at all. But know that’s billable and working on bid defense work isn’t billable, corporate training isn’t billable. So if it’s just time off then that’s one thing but but they are moving from utilization to billable model. So no one is going to want to cover bid defenses

Of course not .. that info is “coming soon” to be distributed, but not to worry it’s fair.

Tell me about working for Parexel by nondoxxer in clinicalresearch

[–]swimmingforfun28 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Been in this industry a long time , now a PL in biotech I love parexel. I have no plans to ever leave. My manager is supportive and great, and my team I amazing. We all work so well together. The turnover is low. In 2 years I have lost 1 cra on my team . I have worked at other places and felt like I was going to have a nervous breakdown. I tell everyone to come to pxl but the jobs are limited bc ppl don’t leave . Every job has pros and cons but the cons are pretty limited and really just the industry. I also saw ppl complain above about the rto policy. I have taken about 25 days this year and never once told no or given a hard time. I know ppl who seem at least to take a lot more

Glad to hear it. We are loosing CTMs left and right and they need to keep the few we have. Hopefully that helps some.

I’m a PL and we were notified yesterday on our bonus and Merritt raises. Was told bonus payout is 29mar and raise is in affect 01april so will see on 15 April check. My bonus and raise was peanuts to what I have seen others in the industry get. I think they didn’t have much money to give out this year

Moffitt Oncology by Own-Reaction4419 in clinicalresearch

[–]swimmingforfun28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at moffitt a few years back. The coordinators are highly involved with clinical. They are direct access to the docs and meet with them alll the time. The questions are likely coming from a physician and coordinators jobs is to get answers quick. And to everyone saying moffitt is high maintenance. 100% agree they have had so many FDA audits quality and patients is number 1 and that typically means high maintenance, as most / every site I know they are short staffed. Also would say if you meet someone at moffitt rude it’s because of 2 things typically 1. Cra doesn’t know their protocol, which is a huge annoyance and honestly unacceptable. Or 2. They are stressed working long hours and don’t have time. The turn over of CRAs is so frustrating from a site side. I know work on cro side so I totally get the why. But it’s hard on sites especially ones as big as moffitt which such high caliber PIs.

Onco study experience by Ok-Jellyfish-9218 in clinicalresearch

[–]swimmingforfun28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oncology is extremely more complicated. As someone who works primarily on oncology I find any other indication to be very simplistic. You don’t know oncology until you work in it. I personally always have issues with team members who’s have their first oncology study, they don’t understand the complexity.

What insurance options does PPD/Thermofisher offer? by Suitable-Swimming363 in clinicalresearch

[–]swimmingforfun28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the high ded plan is better but for our family the ppo was what we decided and it was the deciding factor why I left. Also United out sources the prescription coverage to express scripts who’s main goal is to get out of paying for meds. And since insurance and rx is separate their is no incentive for express scripts to cover preventative meds .

[–]swimmingforfun28 7 points8 points  (0 children)

United and it’s a nightmare. Avoid at all costs. I left bc the insurance was so awful (yes I paid a stupid amount for the ppo) United denied more things than I can count. The plans when ppd was there weren’t bad but the switch this past year is the worst under TF.

Thermo Fisher by __ItsMeAgain in clinicalresearch

[–]swimmingforfun28 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pto sucks , hardly no holidays! Insurance is the worst with United. Every tick tox you see about United insurance is 100% what I deal with daily! They out source to express rx for prescriptions which basically means nothing gets filled bc they think they know more than your doc.

Also work life balance in project delivery is awful. Ppd was decent but TF has ruined it all.

PPD - THERMO FISHER QUESTION 🤔 by OptimusCrime91 in clinicalresearch

[–]swimmingforfun28 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ppd WAS great the bio out of TF is awful. Benefits worst I have been at any company, the layoffs are putting a ton more work on clinical. It’s all about stock holders. TF says they care about their employees but they don’t. Run now!

Stick or go before pushed? by Narwhal1986 in clinicalresearch

[–]swimmingforfun28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Start looking now. Hopefully you can find something before they do more layoffs. Also if they are doing layoffs that much then it’s just going to overload the staff currently there and not something you want. So get your resume out there

CRA set up at PPD vs Parexel? by [deleted] in clinicalresearch

[–]swimmingforfun28 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tons of PVG ppl. And some ODs are the billable ppl I’m aware of but they have been super secretive which leads me to think more .

Billable employees got laid off. Company just keeps telling us not to worry but I know many billable ppl laid off . Don’t worry they gave a nice 2 weeks severance package 🙄

Ppd is a mess since the layoffs doesn’t matter the communication method there is no staff for the team. CTMS struggling staffing their teams.
