Give it a rest. Different year/month/day/hour/minute/second and same garbage being spewed from negative nellie mouths on here. Same rumors constantly swirling. Accurately predicted about 1 out of 100 times.
Nobody asked you so go back guzzling down the koolaid piglet.
S. Swider is the biggest slimeball sycophant in the Vaccine Division. The little red adulator to management will stop at nothing to get ahead in Merck. He will come up with grand ideas as a VKCL then make the reps do all of the hard work, then he will take all of the credit. He will piggyback off any success someone has and make it his own. God forbid you don't help him in his quest for power. He will throw you under the bus in heartbeat. Stay away from him. He is a toxic little red rattlesnake.
Wow. He seems like such a savvy businessman.
SS, VKCL from MICHIGAN, is one of the biggest management suckups and backstabbers in the company. I am so glad VCKL's have DCO ride alongs now. Many of them don't do sh!t but take credit for reps' work in the field and create bullsh!t reports to fool their DCO's into thinking they are getting stuff done in their accounts. The VKCL position has little to no accountability. Now the DCO's will see first hand which VCKL's are really working and which ones are doing nothing.
SS is a snake and that was well-known even when he was an analyst at HQs. The DCOs are idiots and are blinded by the ass kissing to see through the likes of him.
No S. Swider is pretty full of himself and loves to boast about how great he is. You have to be pretty full of yourself to have your own modeling page on the Internet when you are barely 5"6, a redhead and freckle faced. You don't see too many successful male models with those features. LOL!!!
J. Nissan should be gone by year's end. She botched Zostavax and the shuffling around of the salesforce this year. When she gets that "special assignment" she will be gone. Good riddance to another dinosaur tablet hack.
Jan will be gone and the DCO on Southern CA will take over as she is being groomed for that position.
Due tell, due tell.....I wish, but it is still a cash cow...
Would she even be any better than Jan? SHE is just learning the Vaccines World now...but ant could be better... Except for another crazy marketing penn partner....

layoffs coming soon. There is not enough work for reps. Territories need to be expanded. Jan is planning to have layoffs by year end.
Tom Lyon really thinks he is the smartest person in the room but he is so gullible when it comes to knowing what his VKCL's are doing in the field. Ever since the type A control freaks who came over to Vaccines like Alina, Tom Lyon and Katrina Murphy to name of few of those out of touch managers, who cannot separate a personal life from a job, the division has suffered a decline in success with customers and morale.
Healthcare providers used to really love their Vaccine reps before these head cases in management arrived because the reps were allowed to act like calm human beings who were there to educate, promote and support Vaccines in a personable way based on the personality of the reps. Once those tablet corporate psychopaths came, they turned the reps into robotic, desperate and pushy zombies that healthcare providers cringe when they see them because now they are coming way to frequently because of the reach and frequency drive as well as the same desperate strategy to shame the customer into buying more vaccines. The combination of reach and frequency and the desperate hope that Merck could get primary care offices to vaccinate like pediatricians has failed going on a decade now. Merck has gotten the most it is ever going to get out of Zostavax and P23 because of competition and better reimbursement (I guarantee you GSK will provide better reimbursement for their Shingles vaccine just like Pfizer did for P13). Jan's last desperate attempt to push R&F and send different groups of full-time and contract reps to call on any primary care doc or pharmacy to use Zostavax has led to double digit negative growth.
I know this management team will never admit they are wrong. However, maybe they should abandon the R&F strategy because it blocked access to docs and integrated delivery systems in the early 2000's that still hurt today. Also, instead of blaming the reps all of the time for the decline in adult Vaccines which is happening consistently across the nation, maybe you should just admit you miscalculated the potential demand for adult Vaccines which we know won't happen. Instead, Jan will be put on a special project and another old school tablet upper manager will come in with the more role play and more R&F will save the day mantra. This has been the Groundhog Day from Hell ever since the Tablet Takeover of 2005.
If T Lyon continues to lose reps to other positions within the company or to outside jobs, he may finally be waddling off into the sunset. Finally, most of his region has figured out no matter how hard they try for him, he will never give his people opportunities to apply for new positions like the VKCL or IDS Account lead positions. He is so quick to hire from USHH or outside the company. Many of his former S2s, S3s and other region lapdogs have left in the last few months. How delusional of Tom to think he can keep berating his region with the "you're not doing enough diatribe" and continually pass over many good, hard working reps for people outside the region for new jobs and not expect people will get fed up and leave.
Merck Vaccines is definitely not what it used to be, especially after Tom came over and pushed out all the people who knew more than him or were a threat to him. You have succeeded in ruining the division with your stupid business plans that did nothing to help sales, worthless M2 workshops that just gave your lapdogs time to shine for you and your blatant disregard for the people who were successful before you were brought over to Vaccines to remove the last of the previous successful regime. What's even worst is you are now treating the tablet people you brought over like garbage because you think you can find even better koolaid drinking backstabbers that can idolize you even more. What is wrong with you? Continue to enjoy the turnover Tommy, nobody trusts you or believes in you anymore. Your region continues to abandon you or find ways to expedite your departure. You have nobody to blame but yourself and nobody will be sad when you finally leave. Well done wannabe professor.
