Disclaimer: some info are intentionally vague or altered to avoid identification. I am looking for thoughts and inputs from people who know the pharma industry in Switzerland well. I am quite new to the industry, so I don’t have a good sense of the dynamics yet. I started a new job a couple of months ago at a major Swiss pharma company. Recently my manager’s manager, VP-level managing a large department, was suddenly fired for gross misconduct. My understanding is that he had several inappropriate relationships with female subordinates, substance abuse problems, and just general complaints of toxic and ineffective leadership. Of course none of this was officially mentioned when he was dismissed, but people talk and this version of events seems quite substantiated. Out of curiosity: how career ending is something like this in the Swiss pharma space? Do you reckon he stands a chance to get another similar job, or is he now effectively banned from the industry, given that his reputation will likely follow him? Thanks! submitted by /u/LallieDoo
