Of course. I'm sure she made it to the top on her own merit.

Quote:
At a WVU basketball game in 1992, Bresch's father mentioned his daughter's job search to Mylan CEO Milan Puskar. The company soon thereafter offered her a low-level position in the quality control department of a factory in Morgantown. According to Bresch, she had misgivings about the offer. Her father said she should "absolutely take it" and try for a year. She took his advice, and started as a clerk, typing labels. She received frequent promotions during the following years, "working hard and learning the industry inside out".[5]

There's nothing there to indicate that she didn't advance on her own merits. Quite the opposite actually. That doesn't excuse the corporate greed she exhibits, however.

Of course.

I'm sure that if the janitor at that WVU basketball game had mentioned his daughter's job search to Mylan CEO Milan Puskar he would have found a position for her too.
