6517

It was based off of territory and really what potential your territory was rated as having. Well at least that is what I heard. Really some of the layoff made no sense! Some were lucky to get hired on by amarin, others are still looking. Quintiles really does not have a lot of contracts right now so you are just sitting around waiting! Or should I say looking for other options. It is bad not to have a job but the I will saw at least we are no longer waiting for the floor to drop! in some regional morale was very low!

Some territories had no business EVER having additional manpower (in the form of contractors). The fact was that whoever divvied up the customers when the original footprints were established (as announced in June 2011) was as clueless as anything ever witnessed.

Some territories were too large, some too small, and the number of see-able customers in some territories was over twice that of a neighboring territory. It made no sense in June 2011 and as a consequence lots of people had their lives disrupted.

How many people on 6517 who lost their positions would have found better jobs (contract or direct) in the time they otherwise spent on 6517? Opportunity cost is important... what is unseen are the opportunities not looked for, because of a prior "engagement."

Common sense has been evaporating from Pharma for a long, long time, but this (when the footprints were determined) was a new low.

The territory I was in went from 1 rep, to 3, then back down to 1 with the same crappy "call plan" from over a year ago. No changes for retirement, moving, offices closing due to retirement or moving, no changes just the same list from before. The Janssen people in my area are not happy either, including my old DM who is incredible, nobody who does the work had any say in this process and it shows.

There was a Janssen rep in my territory that was a real 'bozo'. Of course all the Janssen reps kept their jobs....no questions asked
