Connect Layoffs Today

Quote







Pfizer Connect… another Covid era invention that was a major Pfailure. I remember when it was rolled out and laughing how they were celebrating this “breakthrough” idea of telemarketing, like it was an advancement in technology and sales innovation.
Do not fear, some of the geniuses responsible for this breakthrough are still here, generating even more money sucking failures.

What a disaster of an experiment. Who ever thought entry level phone dialers were going to get access to decision makers and influence scripts?

Some consulting agency probably made north of $6 Million preparing some 49-slide assessment that recommended that we put those divisions in place. (No doubt the agency has VERY close ties to someone in upper management.) Anyone who spent any time outside of this company, or reads decent journals couldve told us that the idea of adding all of those bodies was the latest in a long string of stupid ideas. Like VCCs were.
 












Brilliant! Pfizer Connect was sold as “giving the customer what they are asking for”…”skating to where the puck is.” Another Bold Move that wasn’t thought out well and affects peoples lives and careers. Bravo!

Worked out ok for schutta the hutt and barefoot zen guy. You know, the agile ones
 



Really sucks especially during the holidays. So the losers that proposed this all get promoted and keep their jobs while we pay the price for exceptionally poor leadership. This company is a joke being driven into the ground by My Pal Al and his pathetic LT. Hang in there everyone.

This is exactly right. A dumb idea and the people who implemented it patted themselves on the back for it as if they’d discovered a new path to success. Now those same people who were enriched with taxpayer dollar’s when the stock hit 60 are laying people off right before Christmas. And I don’t care if they give them two months pay and COBRA after that. It still sucks to get this news at Christmas.

The way leadership at this company treats people is unconscionable. They sit around telling everyone they saved the world with a vaccine they didn’t develop, spend those taxpayer dollars buying Seagen in a desperate attempt to become relevant in oncology, and then upend people’s lives at the worst possible time of year.

Noboby is owed a job. Pfizer is a corporation not a charity. But treating people with dignity doesn’t cost anything. There is absolutely no difference to the bottom line in waiting 3 weeks to lay people off.

The leadership of this company as well as the BoD will never get this company out of it’s current mess. They all need to go.
 


















Both Tampa and Chicago are closed down. The connect phone numbers are now disconnected. I went by the Tampa site where I was working at and everything is being moved out. There are trucks there now loading up the desks, etc. I talked to one of the movers in the parking lot and the space has allready been leased out to someone else. Our name has been taken down off the directory by the elevator. That was quick.

I imagine that the same is going on at the abandoned Target store site in Chicago.

While I was working at connect I heard so many stories about how staff was assaulted, robbed, and their cars all stolen at that Chicago site. It was in the south side of Chicago in a getto area where there were lots of gangs. At least in Tampa we were in a nice .modern building with windows. We had palm trees in the parking lot. That abandoned windowless Target store in that getto hood neighborhood must have been depressing!.

Well I guess this chapter of my work life is over.

I thought they were out of Lake Forest? Are these remote workers. That is still crazy. How many people were impacted?
 



LOL Tampa isn’t shut and neither is Lake Forest. Which isn’t in South Chicago. They also only shut down the Pfizer Connect divisions that were ineffective. They kept the Pfizer Connect divisions that were actually speaking with customers on the phone.
