MS Division What Happened?

I launched Gilenya, it was never great. Sometimes we made great bonus but it was always “the sky is falling.” Non stop initiatives and pressure

The first few years of Kesimpta was good. Now it's big Pharma tactics with no bonus. The amount of field rides are crazy. What happened to once every 6 weeks. Now it's every two weeks. Customers are sick of seeing them. Novartis is hurting their business with this outdated tactic.
 






One of the problems is that our insecure leadership team is scared shitless of Genentech. When big pharma leaders get scared, all they know is following their dated play book of enforcing metrics and frequency.

So you mean field rides every 2 weeks doesn't work HAHAHA. My manager told me the more they come out the more SRF's I will get.

The frequent field rides are just 1 of many problems in MS divisions now. This place is nothin close to what it once was a few years ago. I made the jump and left several months ago and it’s been the best move. Don’t be trapped at that dumpster fire. I guess if you stick around there is always a good chance you will bank a severance cuz history shows cuts are coming. .

This is a fact. Most everyone on my team has been quit quitting. We all had enough of the constant field rides and no bonus. Most are looking to leave after next payout. Good luck trying to fill these positions with quality people. Only a person who is desperate for a job would come to Novartis.

The west coast will experience lots turnover here soon. Enough is enough with the big pharma beatings.

Ok, this is so ugly and unprofessional.

This used to be such a great place to work. We seemed insulated from the big pharma playbook.
Now this division is almost as bad as cardio. Is it time to jump ship.

Agreed

The problem is they treat MS division just like primary care with this provider based model driven by metrics

KES is growing year on year at a huge clip- NVS is closing in on 4 billion for MS, it’s one of the top three moneymakers from the whole company.. it doesn’t make any sense to get rid of headcount right now in the field - the MS2s are fine for a while.

You have no idea what is being planned. They wiped out an entire sales force that generates almost a billion in profit to replace them with a contract sales force. Keep your guard up

After paying the contract team, Dez will end up saving a couple of bucks, at most, by virtue of firing the Xolair reps.
The money saved, weighed against the indecency of firing your own people, can't be worth it. He did it because he's an awful, indifferent prick.
Nothing he has done in C.V. makes sense, but that hasn't stopped him from doing it. Now the reps will take the hit for it.
If you think M.S. is safe just because you make money, you are delusional.

As much as I dislike Des, I don’t think it was his decision to eliminate the Xolair team. Had to come from the Victor/Vas level.

Right This company lives up to its violent history of cutting its sales force. has it ever made sense? No they don’t care.
 












I’m miserable here and it’s only going to get worse if Tg is acquired and Briumvi gets in yet another big pharma competitor’s hands. Best play might be to work for the acquirer there. Anybody hearing anything?

poor and clueless leadership will vacillate the demise of this division. This place peaked a few years ago and will continue a steady decline as significant new competition enters the already over crowded MS market.

Micro managers with their 3 day field rides killed this place. We used to be treated much better. I know many that have new jobs. Just waiting to collect tomorrow's bonus. Plus we have many 1st time managers who should of started in primary care.

Absolutely these rookie managers are over their heads. They portray mindless ants aimlessly crawling around the ant hill desperately trying to follow commands to impress the queen ant while making fools of themselves.

That is so true hahaha. Why would you put a first time manager into MS or any other specialty. They belong in primary care to learn how to be a manager. No joke our manager wants success stories and best practices on how to organize our trunks. Since we have so much material.
