indeed - I was working for Zeneca when they merged with Astra

We were told no job losses - the sites I worked at (Alderley Park and Macclesfield) had 13,000 Zeneca employees between them - that's without all the other sites and Astra's too.

I was stunned when I heard on Radio 5 the other day that AstraZeneca now had 6,700 employees.

Pfizer would do exactly the same IMO - I really hope this collapses.
