VB here, let me clearly state we are in a position of growth for the future. We have set ourselves up for success people believe me when I say this, no need to worry anymore about layoffs it's going to be great from now on. Oh and I'm bringing back your Ford Explorers for all FSR's (Field Sales Reps). Another 10K raise because you have made the cut and doing away with all my RD's because they are just useless twits anyway. Why because you have been through enough and JJ and I love you very much. So don't panic people it's going to be OKAY just trust us.
all other regions are having fun from the Asia posts and I don't blame them. They need to live our lives to realize the frustration.... We have a regional president who is like a fish out of water even after 2 years in surgical business. We have a regional CFO who is clueless about P&L and has no idea about compliance btw, refer to Korea as an example The HR head has the worst leadership retention performance ever seen in the region and if you exclude the stability in Phaco development teams to see only commercial teams the picture is terrible We have a medical affairs head who for 2 years hasn't had 1 meaningful activity or knows even 1 good KOL in the region on top of it he doesnt even know our products and rumor is that he is paid a million $ a year We have a franchise head who is birthed physically nor mentally present in every meeting he attends be it with doctors or team members. His only job is forward emails from global and the other way around. And yes he is doing China... what God knows ? The list of characters is endless....
J.J. specifically stated this morning that pharma goes with NVS and therefore would not be part of an Alcon sale.
