When i first being a patheon associate I thought it might lead to a career like promised! But, all I've gotten out of the job is exposure to dangerous APIs, back breaking lifting & stress out the wazoo that comes from wondering daily if the plant would close up shop for good.
I've tried to leave!!! But I've been blueballed by the company - they're giving very poor opinions of me to would be suitors, telling them I'm not rehirable.

Good lord, hope this March meeting ain't about downsizing.

No but since I'm know longer there I wouldn't, but keep me up to date on things. There can't be that many people left to get rid of by now.I don't have a job right now but I'm glad to be out of that whole. Dam Canadians!!!!!

Anyone hear about the "BIG MEETING" coming up soon? (In March).

OK, now they are out of control. firing ed huber? he's the only person who knows anything at that site.

The Cincinnati site needs to go the way of the bubonic plague!
It's caused enough misery and heartache, not to mention all the lives ruined.

The speculation and hearsay of rustling pinkslips and downsizing is no longer just gossip fodder - it is a truth, today I heard March will be Restructuring Month at Patheon Cincinnati.

Ryan Crooks has accepted a pivotal role at Girindus Solvay Organics. If you still would like to be charmed by his snake, he will be using the Patheon cafeteria daily.

Amylin Ohio is the best place to work on earth. Exenatide once weekly is a line extension for an already approved drug Byetta. It has beaten every single ACT lowering drug head to head in clinicals and will help patients greatly.

Randy Phirman just hired on with Amylin, and several others from the lab are in the running too - you SUCK Ron George. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole Cincinnati site ends up working there, except for the putzes on the 3rd (HR) and 4th floor!

who were the knob polishers?

I heard Rob Sears got a job with Messer Construction... if not he sure spends a lot of time in there trailer

Roger Strang, Ryan Crook, and Rob Sears just got hired at Amylin

I used to cover for people who went into the clean equipment room and the dispensing part storage rooms to get their knobs polished but no one has had my back over the course of my write ups!

It's funny when they take you up to HR to write you up and Mr Mooseturd is never in there to hear what you have to say, he always sends his little girl puppets in to listen and report back to him. If he ever did come in and hear your side of the story he wouldn't be able to fire you. I heard he's got back trouble and the piss-ass insurance they offer won't cover his claim,Toooo bad Mr. Mooseturd, if you had a back bone you won't be in all that pain......

The hiring people in this organization make big promises to suck you in, and once you are in here, you better work like a bull

Joe Suesz Ha Ha. He is a BIG joke.You can't belive a word he says he lies so much.

Is Joe Suesz still there if he is he should not be,all the things he has done and gotten by with he should have been fired years ago.I understand he is still screwing things up and still getting by with,who is protecting him.anyone else would have been fired on the spot.

HEARD GARY WAS GOING TO BE GONE TOO... WHO IS GOING TO BE NEXT???

Gary Wright will probably take over Bruce's role once Bruce gets the job at Amylin he's bidded on.

They put Jerry back in coating, how long until he gets fired for not following the BPR. He's like a bull in a china shop.Why don't they make Gary wright run a machine like the group leaders on nights and weekends???????????

1. At the Cincinnati Site they should fire every one of those guys working up in the Dispensing Areas! It's nothing but a geriatric crew and the youngest one of them moves like a god damn Turtle. Replace all these no talents and bring in some aeroteks or vioxes to get the job done efficiently.

2. Take a long look at who is using the forklifts. I've been getting foreign material (possible contaminate) on my white pajamas, which I could easily bring into contact with clean surfaces.

3. Ryan Crooks was a great friend, what he was fired for was a personal matter and should not have been brought to the company's attention.

4. The vending machines have been giving out wheel of death foods. I bit into a sandwich with rotten meat - so buyer beware!

I'm not sure who Ryan is but I know Brian well. What the heck did they let them go for? I'm really glad they let me go back in April because it only sounds like the place has got worse. So what else has been going on?

if they keep it up there wont be anyone to do the work and they wont be able to hire anyone

Brian Snelling and Ryan Crooks were terminated today.

YEAH MOST OF US GOT A BONUS.. ARE YOU SAYING YOU DIDNT?? MAN THAT IS SO UNFARE... I HEAR CINCINNATI PACKAGING GOT 4%...

no bonus, but when a certain limey VP looses his job, it will be better then any bonus they could give.

did you get a bonus?

SUPRIZE?????? WHAT PLANET ARE YOU LIVING ON???????? DID YOU GET THAT BIG BONUS TOO??????

now there saying we wont get any raises at all this year.

DOES THE EXECUTIVE TEAM TAKE PAY CUTS OR DO THEY JUST KEEP GIVING THEMSELVES RAISES?

GIVE THEM A MONTH OR 2 AND THEN THEY WILL TAKE IT BACK AGAIN.. INSTEAD OF 4-5 % THIS TIME IT WILL BE MORE.......

Ready for the big 1% raises?

Brian Morgan is no longer with us, he got shafted by Colonel Mustard and Alan Bensman. They are going after Gary Wright next.

All production including packaging and Dispensing will be put on 5 eight hour days starting in January 2010. This will also incorporate a rotation shift in Raw Materials.

guess this rumor is true... that packaging in cincinnati will be gone soon enough... that it will only be a manufactuing plant...mmmm what new things will come???? new building in court yard???? say it is so... you all knew it was coming just didnt want to belive it...

I'm like you part-time and lost my job but I did talk to a full-time person on Friday and he said that the temps are getting the overtime on the week-end and knocking them out of it. Gotta go, Who-Dey time!!!!!!!! GO BENGALS!!!!!!

ANY NEW NEW'S GOING ON AT THE CINCINNATI SITE??? ANY MORE TEMP'S BEING HIRED OR FIRED? CRUNCH FOR THE END OF THE YEAR? WORKING WEEKEND'S? AND ARE THE RETIRE'S STILL WORKING OR HAVE THEY BEEN LET GO BY THE TEMP SERVICE?

heard it was Bill Weisser. Cocky arogant bastard but still not as bad as Collin Minchum.

yep, and the guy they hired came in at a ridiculous salary. hes a real nice guy too just like Collin. watch for more firings!

so what is happening in NC? they fired the guy who was running the lab but he was the only one who knew what he was doing. must not have bent over for Collin minchum so Collins massive ego took over.

SO HOW ARE ALL THOSE TEMPS THEY HIRED LAST YEAR WORKING OUT???

yeah musterd has had a chip on his shoulders for years.. to good to speak to anyone passing him! what an ass he has been for years.. I guess it is all catchng up to him... Is the little mole man sick??? or did he eat some bad pizza??

Jeff's ego was hurt so badly by Brian speaking his mind, that he decided to take away all free lunches and gift cards...talk about childish! When is there going to be someone in HR that will not bend over for him and quit allowing him to act out in this way?? Does Andy know that Jeff is being a little bitch? The rest of us sure do!

I MUST BE MISSING SOMETHING GOING ON DOWN THERE.. PLEASE EXPLAIN???? ALTHOUGHT I AM SURE IT IS NOTHING I HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE..

Jeff disciplined Brian Snelling? Is that the right Brian? If so he's a nice guy what the heck happened that he got in trouble? What the crap is going on there? Yeah I lost my job in the mess going on but I was about to loose my mind there. I hated going to work like everyone else. Is this Sponge Bob I'm talking too? If so you know me too.

JEFF MUSTARD HAS DISCIPLINED BRIAN FROM COATING, SPEAKING FREELY AND HONESTLY IS NO LONGER TOLERATED AT PATHEON.
BAD PIZZA ALSO SHOULDN'T BE TOLERATED!

Mustard has moved on from Valerie to now Jenny over in HR, she must like his grey poupon!

I think the morale is at the all time low now, so much a good portion of the people just don't care! I had to retrieve some weighed out active from the dispensing freezer and witnessed two associates having carnal relations behind the wire carts over by the bottle storage - like I said no one cares!

the white castles may be a thing of the past, Musser took away our gas cards because we didn't appreciate his pizza party enough.
