How bad is it? How the heck should I know? Quantifying the chemistry job market is what this blog is about. That, and helping chemists find jobs.

ReplyDeleteI keep trying to come up with a good Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome joke and failing.
ReplyDeleteTwo medicinal chemists get hired in big pharma, one chemist gets fired!
DeleteWho runs Genetown? Say it louder!
DeleteThe name "Genetown" reminds me of Gas Town from Mad Max. I imagine warlords in the feudal remains of a once-proud society, surrounded by survivor sycophants among a ravaged landscape, fighting each other without regard to humanity just to live another day.
ReplyDeleteThere have been too many layoffs. Too much pain. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give me your samples, the chemicals, the biologicals, and the whole compound, and I'll spare your lives. Just walk away and we'll give you a minor severance package. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror.
