Pfizer Throws a "Lay Off" Party in Ann Arbor
According to an article in the Ann Arbor News, hundreds of Pfizer employees and their guests gathered at Eastern Michigan University's Convocation Center late last week for a good-bye party sponsored by the company. The party included a live band parodying popular songs with Pfizer-themed material, with the participation of site director David Canter, and a retrospective video documenting change at the Ann Arbor site since it was built in the late 1950s.
Nobody was crying in their beer or anything like that," said a seven-year employee. "There was good food, nice music ... people were there just to have a nice time with their colleagues. ... It's hard to be bitter when you had such great people to work with." Gee, with such loyal employees, you wonder why Pfizer shut down the facility?
I guess business is business–at least Pfizer Ann Arbor ex-employees know that the company appreciated them a lot and that there are no hard feelings.
Until next time…
Good Luck and Good Job Hunting (I hear Ann Arbor is nice)
