\"\"<\/a>Melissa Katz and Michael Parks of Centocor are getting a lot of feedback about their new corporate blog, CNTO411.<\/p>\n

And they have responded — somewhat — to my suggestion that they allow Centocor’s employees to have a voice on the blog (see “Employee Blogging and Other Comments worth Responding to…<\/a>“).<\/p>\n

I’m happy that my comments have made the grade and this post is designed to press the issue further.<\/p>\n

So, with apologies to an African American spiritual and the Old Testament of the Bible, specifically Exodus 8:1, I offer this:<\/p>\n

“And the Blogosphere spake unto Katz and Parks, go unto Centocor’s President, and say unto him, thus saith the Blogosphere, Let our employees speak, that they may serve you.”<\/p>\n

When Employees were in Pharma’s hand
Let your employees speak
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let your employees speak<\/p>\n

Go down, Katz and Parks, way down in Centocor’s land
Tell the new President, Let our employees speak.<\/p>\n

Thus saith the Blogosphere, bold Katz and Parks said,
Let our employees speak,
If not, CNTO411 shall be smite dead,
Let our employees speak.<\/p>\n

Go down, Katz and Parks, way down in Centocor’s land
Tell the new President, Let our employees speak.<\/p>\n

No more shall they in silence worry,
Let the employees speak,
Let them come out with Pharma’s story,
Let the employees speak.<\/p>\n

Go down, Katz and Parks, way down in Centocor’s land
Tell the new President, Let our employees speak.<\/p>\n

The Blogosphere told Katz and Parks what to do,
Let your employees speak,
To lead the evangelism through,
Let your employees speak.<\/p>\n

Go down, Katz and Parks, way down in Centocor’s land
Tell the new President, Let our employees speak.<\/p>\n

O come along Katz and Parks, you’ll not get lost,
Let your employees speak,
Stretch out your keyboard and come across,
Let your employees speak.<\/p>\n

Go down, Katz and Parks, way down in Centocor’s land
Tell the new President, Let our employees speak.<\/p>\n

CNTO411 shall stand up like a wall,
Let your employees speak,
And the walls of corporate culture and FDA regulations shall fall,
Let your employees speak.<\/p>\n

Go down, Katz and Parks, way down in Centocor’s land
Tell the new President, Let our employees speak.<\/p>\n

Your competitors shall not before you stand,
Let your employees speak,
And you’ll possess the best PR in the land,
Let your employees speak.<\/p>\n

Go down, Katz and Parks, way down in Centocor’s land
Tell the new President, Let our employees speak.<\/p>\n

O let us all from corporate bondage flee,
Let your employees speak,
And let us all be free,
Let your employees speak.<\/p>\n

Go down, Katz and Parks, way down in Centocor’s land
Tell the new President, Let our employees speak.<\/p>\n

We need not always weep and mourn,
Let your employees speak,
And wear these corporate chains forlorn,
Let your employees speak.<\/p>\n

Go down, Katz and Parks, way down in Centocor’s land
Tell the new President, Let our employees speak.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
