1,000 reps gone? Managers too?

[Anonymous]

you might not want to sign a severance
that possibly bans you from competitive employment elsewhere.

a) 99% of reps will be broke in 6 months max without severence
b) competitive employment ? bwahahahahahahaha yes that's why everyone
is still here , due to all the opportunities at competitors !!

Now that's rich , Thanks for the laugh !!

More than 1000 reps gone. December CV with Tekturna and Tekturna combo's is pulled. Reclast goes off patent July 2012. There is nothing else left to sell and just as previous post stated they need the money for the Alcon bill. Last year they did reviews after the layoff for the poor souls that were left. All of this was decided way before at year end in Sept. December layoffs followed by Jan.

It's interesting in the thread it's amazing to see the rats scurry they pulled all the threads about how some backstabbing pod mates have hurt good employees.The thread referenced the gossiper who runs to their managers talking trash and lies. Then they try the classic gossip tactic spreading more lies insinuating "they don't work".

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE: no brains all gossip and bluster, thumping your chest claiming your the most important rep in the territory and deserve more than everyone else.

As was said before your time has come. Your vindictiveness gets you no where.
You are someone to have pity for since you are hateful,insecure,ugly on the inside and out, and restless because of it. Those you temporarily attempt to hurt will always and are victorious in the end. The best thing that can happen to you is that you change. If you stay the way you are you will never be successful or satisfied.

Soooooo True!! The backstabber. "YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE".

What is so funny is they put so much work into talking trash about everyone else only to backstab themselves into a dead end job. While everyone they backstabbed will have the temporary hardship of finding a job, the backstabber endures the unending pain of staying. They will sit in the waiting room of their doctors offices living a mind numbing existence day in and day out. The complaining vindictive knife they always swing at others has been left for them to swing at themselves.

They now have their wish. They are the only rep left in the territory. They bragged and bragged how they were the most important rep in the territory and now they get to live their sick wish alone.

To those they attacked, believe me, the victory is all yours.

For the good reps that are left after the layoff do yourself a favor and stay away from the backstabbing gossip since they are only happy when they have a target.They will complain about you behind your back,they will complain about their manager behind their back, all to create a fake bond with you. Don't fall for it since you will be the target too. Keep them away so their only choice is to target their miserable selves.

Broke? Not if your spouse is banking. I dispise this company & the job, but have been taking this income & just adding it to our savings account (when I'm not vacationing). And will continue as long as I can. Thats why a volunteer lay-off would be in best interest of the company. I'd actually take it, otherwise I'll just continue to pad my savings account.
Hows that for "being rich?"

Agree. These are the people that do worse themselves and point the finger at everyone else.

Check out Cp article on generics. Avapro goes off patent 2012 another reason why their is no money in Diovan especially using a full time field force. With losartan (cozaar) and Avapro as ARB generic choices Dio as branded is dead off the managed care rolls. Heck Novartis themselves has been pushing Dio off managed care to make room for the defunct Tekturna.

Can you picture this: CEO Joe Z. on the day of the cuts throwing his hat up in the air like Mary Tyler Moore.

Wall street is going to be singing the "Mary Tyler Moore" song about Joe Z.
I can't remember all the words. Those of you reading help me out here, here goes: (Joe Z. throwing his hat up in downtown manhattan the day of cuts.)

"You can take the world on with your smile.
You can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all worth while.
And it's you girl and you should know it, with each glance and every little movement you show it.
Love is all around no need to take it da da da da da you can da da da make it.
Your gonna make it after all dada da da dada da da. Your gonna make it after all dada da da da (ring sound) then...

( ...the old Novartis tiger that is now a kitten Meows.)

Cut to Mary ( I mean Joe Z. typing out the cut list at his desk. Mr Grant (from ZS "ass"ociates comes barging out of the office with a few more names. Ted (the Newsroom egotistical fake and Suzanne(the fake happy homemaker character) of course are the only ones left after the layoffs.

Time is running out. We are just contract reps within the company. Contract reps have more job security.

Agreed ... Well said! The back stabbers are usually the wanna be managers in the MDP... They can't sell worth a damn, but they like to talk bad about the good reps out there working hard everyday ! Not sitting in a coffee shop shooting off e-mails during work hours trying to suck up! Get your ass in the field and sell something !!! By the way if you think your miserable asses are going to be safe because you have been giving your so called "opinion" on everyone on your team..... Think again Losers!
