    Any friends at HQ willing to throw us a bone and let us know what's going on?

    Notification goes out this week on the contract initiative. PC is not alone by far, major move!

    Not even close. PC field force will be phased out. WH picking up remaining PC products. No contract personnel in field force. Goal is to maintain a presence in PC marketplace with the hopes of obtaining one or two new products. WH has the appropriate size and structure to maintain a cost effective presence in the field. The name will change, but the core personnel and structure will be from WH. Time frame, four months.

    This babe is a fraud, facts are facts and none of the above rings true. All contract by years end!

    WH will not be picking up PC products. I can confidently say that because no one is going to rock the Januvia boat. It is much too important...and no, I do not sell it!

    Hold that thought and let's revisit your post when WH receives their training materials mid-November.

    Looks like we'll know very soon, if indeed this post is true. To the person who posted, thank you for the heads up.

    WH?! Am I missing an obvious acronym?

    WH=Women's Health division.

    Thanks! That seems pretty unlikely if you look at what other diabetes forces are doing right now. With Jan being the bigger money maker, wouldn't it make more sense to cut WH and open those products to PC by adding OB/Gyn to their customer base? Less customer disruption where it counts. And before someone screams that PC reps can't do specialty, yes they can. Most of them have years of specialty experience before their respective forces were dissolved and they were happy to still have jobs back in PC.

    In case you didn't know...the diabetes reps were "ring-fenced" last time and not even included in the lay-offs because they DO NOT want to sever those relationships. In most territories, it is the existing relationships that get them access because everyone has shut down unless they know you. Rest easy Januvia reps until 2021/2022. You were just in the right place at the right time.

    Women's Health? Why in the world would a group who doesn't even call on primary care or sell any primary care products take over ? They call on ob/gyn's, right? Plus, there would not be enough of them to cover the primary care call decks. This might make the least sense of any theory on here. And that's saying a lot!

    Doesn't make sense but that prob means it's true. HaHaHaHa.

    The sooner the better. Wish they wouldn't drag this stuff out so much.

    What? Are you saying that continuous layoffs cause remaining employees to become distracted? Just stay focused.

    Actually, it's 2020. And if Januvia crumbles like most of us believe it will in the next 24 months, you won't even have that long.

    Januvia is not going to crumble. You still have some time.
