I don't care who you are...it's derogatory. If you are using it to your own advantage or if you are using it to discribe your plight...it is still derogatory.

There are so many current "Golden Handcuffs" in 62 at level III it's scary! I can only assume it's like that in most groups too.

Can you imagine being in charge of 25-30 people and 5-10 million $ in inventory? You think you are really important. Most likely this was your first job out of college and you are making 100k-120k (after 6-10yrs) I would be stuck too. You have put in all this time...invested in all these people...you are deep in the culture....this is the situation the term "golden handcuffs" was made for!

Kooken, Davis, Sipich, Vining, Gerardy, Diaz.....where else are they going?
Kooken had alternatives...God only knows why he likes the punishment
Davis is nice, but please!
Sipich is fun...but please!
Vining is a dork
and Gerardy is good in some ways, but not polished enough to even make it in a start up pharma company. He is a little, goofy monkey. And he has a bitch for a wife!
Diaz...please...that article was so funny...PR piece!
