Just saw a email I was not supposed to see

above plan or below plan doesn't much matter as it is all relative to ranking. if you were in sales you would know this.

 

The process this time around relies only on computer modeling independent of human involvement. Very few will be left!

 

Timeline please. When will we know?

 

Notification comes right after Labor Day to comply with government rules. Enjoy the holiday then bye bye!

 

The numbers have absolutely no bearing whatsoever in any way. The plan is already in writing and will be implemented as is.

 

Doubt this is true between the attitude and info in the post. Most likely it would be referenced in the worldwide townhall on 9/28, with notifications going out early October. Not HQ here, so just an educated guess after having gone through these several times over the last 25 years and several companies.

 

Agreed. Locking back, the majority of "stay by your phone days" have taken place in October.

 

Managers: Do you have any intel or upcoming meetings? You will prob be first followed shortly by rep calls.

 

We have completed the meetings and are now actively pursuing our next position. You will be notified very soon of the extreme downsizing that is to occur. I can tell you that you will be delivering lunch after December 31 no more.

 

yeah right fuck lips

 

I will say that we were told there was a potential for big changes in late fall.

That's it.

Sorry guys but we (CTL) usually know something a few days before you do.

 

yeah sure fuck. you're not even a CTL. keep posting to yourself. your generic threats and timelines. FU

 

Okay, I have to comment, read too much of this crap. I am a CTL, and we never know anything until the day before. There is also NO Meeting. That is not how this ever happens. If you would all use your heads and think back to past occurrences of this you could weed out the BS here. Frankly, I am not concerned about any layoffs, but I do understand why people would be. Belsomra is not doing well and we just lost Vytorin and Zetia. However; the changes to CV and RSS teams could have been predicted by anyone and were the right decisions. If we were going to go all contract, why did we eliminate our contract sales force? Why did they make all InVentiv job open to the RSS and CV teams? The diabetes franchise is secure for a long time. We have Januvia/Jnaumet until 2023, we have a new Biosimilar that we just filed for and we have an SGLT2i very close as well. Use your heads and don't listen to the crap that people post without any common sense and by not even knowing how to spell the word huge.

 

You're a fucking lying piece of shit! I was on a t/c the day cv team was dissolved. 3 hours before the big fucking announcement our ctl had our own little t/c. guess what? we learned that she was leaving us and going to another PC cTL job. Imagine that! You fuck. You're part of the problem. An earlier thread talked about how bad the managers lie to us. You fucking living proof. You think our ctl didn't know what was coming up?

Im glad youre not worried about any layoffs. your a typical merck arrogant prick who things he's above the fray. I got news for you-ask around. Merck fucking sucks ass, and everyone knows it. But you have fun working for this piece of shit company we all know as merck.

And by the fucking way, very few RSS and CV reps have been placed. Eat shit douche bag. You can fool the young fucks, but not me

 

I agree. You CTL's are part of the bigger problem at Merck. Deception. Dishonest. Dis-ingenuine. No integrity. Other than that, everything great!

NOT!!!

 

CTL's know ahead of time...maybe even months. I know this... just ask one. some have pretty loose lips if you find the right one.
