He said: “Six weeks into the registration, we harvested in preparation for the exam about 1.7 million registrations. “But so far, we have released the results of 1,606,901 candidates leaving us with a balance of 80,889. “Out of this 80,889, we have deliberately withheld 76,925 results for further investigation ...

Finance: Drugmaker Mylan accused of overcharging the US government by about $1.27 billion for EpiPens

Image
Mylan has been in hot water for the price of its blockbuster EpiPen drug before, and it looks like things may get worse. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) says the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS) has calculated that the company may have overcharged the government by about $1.27 billion for EpiPens, a life saving anti-allergy medicine. If Grassley and HHS are correct, that could mean a massive fine for Mylan — far more than the company expected. Last year, Mylan came under fire for jacking up the price of two EpiPen injectors from $100 to $608 when it bought the drug in 2007. As a result, the company's CEO, Heather Bresch, who is also the daughter of West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin (D), was called to Capitol Hill to testify before Congress. After that, in October, Mylan was accused of overcharging the government for EpiPen. It ultimately announced that it had agreed to a $465 million settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) over that matter. Under the terms...

Five social media mistakes that can cost you a job

With  Ozioma Ubabukoh, 07053937947 oubabukoh@punchng.com Your social media posts may win over friends and get you few hundred or thousand likes, shares or retweets, however they can also cost you a job. Here are five social media mistakes most likely to cost you a job: You complain about work When hiring managers sometimes browse through social media profiles of candidates, imagine what their impression of you will be when they see job complaint posts on your wall.
