Get ready- for the next shoe to drop. Change in salary due to merger harmonization some will get a raise others will get a reduction. Do you need to wonder what the percentage of raise vs. reduction will be?

Yeah, Novartis rep here....well former Novartis rep here as of Thursday....and former Merck rep....Miss Merck so much. Novartis sucks! Big layoff--I'm sure you heard. Total blood bath! I would NEVER go back there! Just read the Novartis board!!! It is entertaining!

I was a Business Manager for Shering Plough prior to layoff with merger. The old SP reps will face most of the "harmonization" in a negative way if this realignment of salaries is true. I was privy to this and most certainly SP had salaries that were far more inflated for the same title as Merck reps. Starting salary for SP reps in all positions were at least 10% higher. Good luck.

This is all true....McMahon doesn't want disparity between Primary Care and Specialty. Based on new competencies being rolled out, every one will be put into new bucket depending on this model. It doesn't matter where you've ranked, how many national awards you've won, it all comes down to competencies. Hopefully your manager likes you! And yes, some people will be a bump but many will get a reduction in salary. Believe it - it's a reality with the new Merck!
 












I dont think reducing salary for some is legal and basing it upon what your manager thinks of you and if you know the sales model competencies, what kind of #$@! is that! Some troll starting #$%^! I'm going to speak to my attny about this. If it is legal... and some salaries are lowered, time to screw this company over, like they are screwing us! Dont get mad, get even is all I can say. This company is by far the worst company I have worked for. Nothing but a bunch of losers and egotistical lunatics!
 












My bet is that base salary will be lower but target bonuses will be higher, giving the "impression" that we will make more money. I also bet that fewer of us will hit target bonus, thus, most of us will make less money.
 






I thought 2010 was the year of a 'new merck' Is there a new merck every year? I thought we were all to run this like our own business, while justifying all we do to our shitty CTM's. Pick a culture already.
