Pharmaceutical giant Bayer is getting rid of bosses and asking staff to ‘self-organize’ to save $2.15 billion

CEO Bill Anderson says he doesn’t want it to be a “lame” company, but its stock has still tanked 50%.

In a bid to claw back $2.15 billion, the struggling pharmaceutical giant Bayer CEO is doing away with middle managers and 99% of the company’s 1,362-page corporate handbook, allowing nearly 100,000 employees to self-manage.

the company is going boss-less, or as he calls it, moving to “dynamic shared ownership.”

    So workers are going to get more duties and responsibilities but without an increase in pay. Cool.

      Yeah but no firewall between management who actually make the decisions that materially impact their lives.

      Much easier to know whose house to go to now if things get bad

      But surely they’ll be paid more for all the extra labor. I’m positive that the generous pharmaceutical CEO will share all the gains with his workers whom he loves very dearly. He’ll give them all hugs and kisses too ❤️ 💋
