layoffs

  1. Updated NJ Warn for May 2024

    https://www.nj.gov/labor/assets/PDFs/WARN/2024_WARN_Notice_Archive.pdf That’s just under 1k FTE impacted in 2024 at Lawrenceville. What divisions are these people coming from? Anyone have information? Talk about a mood killer. That’s a round of departures every other week for the rest of the year.
  2. AML layoffs

    Apart from the 350 from Horizon, Amgen hasnt announced any other lay offs, nevertheless i found from my old friends at ATO and AML that departments are being erased…why there is NOTHING in the news, firing happened in the last 2 weeks…WTF
  3. Black

    Rumblings that Novartis layoffs are to make room for Clovis onc acquisition of 400+ employees, to be announced. I assume the reason being Nvs interested in FAP-2286 and owns the rights to "Lumiere" anyway. Anyone have an inkling?
  4. Pfizer buying AZ

    boss said he heard something like that :O
  5. Was the entire Rare Disease Team laid off?

    ???
  6. Sunovion Layoffs for TS

    ASDs found out Monday, RBMs Tuesday, reps next. Any TSs hear anything through the grapevine?
  7. Any salesforce layoffs due to Covid-19 yet

    Obviously this is unprecedented times right now. I am curious if any companies have begun sales force layoffs and if so were they furloughed or just straight laid off? Hoping to weather the storm at our company, but it’s still so fluid
  8. Should I go on an interview for a position with Alkermes?

    I got a call on Friday about a job for Alkermes, but not sure if I should go on the interview? It seems the company is on bad shape, is this accurate? Are they interviewing me just because I am pretty?
  9. 2019 layoffs

    ABT is doing OK in some areas, stock is good, but there are pockets of cutbacks starting. Hiring freezes, open position cancellations, executive 'retirements' without replacement, most DVPs given cut-back tasks. Nothing too disastrous, just Miles preparing for recessionary climate.
  10. Company Transformation

    A much needed board to discuss the ongoing company transformation and the decisions of upper leadership
  11. Ameritox Closing and equipment

    As we all know by now Ameritox is closing. We all had an idea or there have been major rumors over the years of liquidation but its finally true. I heard that 4th quarter last year they spent over $100k on tablet refresh for sales. Does anyone know if we get to keep this equipment? any idea...
  12. Disconnect

    I just don't get it - why 'realigning' headcount in November while preparing to relaunch of tolvaptan - beats me
  13. Inform Diagnostics

    Lipstick on a Pig
  14. Eyecare Layoff

    Ok so we know cuts are coming for Eyecare but how many? 30% I'm hearing. Anyone else? Any idea what they will base these off of?
  15. Novartis' sells plant in New York for $18M, then new owners flip property for $30M!

    What a shame.... over 500 US workers loose their jobs (since 2014) and the company also looses $12 million in the sale of the property. Novartis has sold its plant in Suffern, N.Y., which was then quickly resold. The vacant Novartis manufacturing facility in...
  16. Lilly's voluntary retirement program and site closures

    Lilly announces voluntary retirement program and also office closures as part of the streamlining initiatives.
  17. Shire Network Study

    Shire is systematically eliminating all Baxalta employees. Site and plant closures. Also employees are being notified their jobs will be moving, typically within next 12-16 months. I'm assuming this is to avoid having to notify investors of massive lay offs. Make people leave on their own and...
  18. The Ides of October are coming!

    Well boys and girls, time to brush up those resumes. It looks like the rumors are there will a salesforce reduction for PCP and Urology. It makes sense, especially at the manager level. Currently we are not backfilling most field positions. The rumor is October is when the shit hits the fan...
  19. Layoff Figures? RIF?

    Does anyone know how many employees were/are being laid off? Does anyone know if Horizon is considering this a RIF?
  20. PC1 Reps Reduced
