Rost consistently refers to himself as a former VP of Pfizer - what comes out in the book was that he was a successful VP at Pharmacia. After the buyout he was never formally given a position at Pfizer (in fact he himself admits that he was not formally looking for the VP title at Pfizer but would instead accept a lower title) - but used the law (including whistle blower law) to retain his job. During this period - many days he never bothered to go into the office as he had no functions to complete - he went around talking about pharmaceutical policy and used the cache of the meaningless Pfizer title. His motivation plain and simple was to keep his 6 figure salary. Throughout the book I never thought of him of brave - quite the opposite. He was opportunist and abused a law that was, frankly, developed to allow other to whistleblow on people like him. With the money that Pfizer spent on his pay and the law suit they could have kept several lower paid employees on the pay roll. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A number of books critical of the pharmaceutical industry have recently been published, but none has been an exposé written by a senior executive of one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies.The Whistleblower is at once an unmasking of how corporations take care of malcontents and a gripping story of one man's fight to maintain his family and his sanity. Starting in 2003, the book details the illegal, even criminal business practices the author witnessed at his corporation, as well as his crusade to legalize the reimportation of drugs. It also explains how in this post-Enron world whistle-blowers can't simply be fired, and what the author's corporation did to coerce and silence him. A story of abattle that continues today, one which any American who takes or will take prescription drugs has a stake in,The Whistleblower is a powerful testimony.
