A Deal!!!!













look, i hate B&L and the dirtbags managing the place, but for you reps a deal with valeant might not be a bad thing. they are a global company and do not have an ophthalmic presence. could be great for you all and not result in any salesforce reduction. canadian so benefits / worklife might be better. granted, it still won't improve the standing of the company, now you have another clueless leader in charge of ophthalmics. That's the thing that always bothered me in Rx. all these idiots that rose to positions of power with their reach and frequency metrics. They did it in primary care and try and carry it over to specialty pharma. Just doesn't work. You need a leader that came up in ophthalmics. B&L is toast no matter who buys it. reputation has been shot for years. but you might get to keep a paycheck until you find something better.
 


















It is not a done deal. I personally feel B&L has better brand name recgonition.. our doctors are not going to want to stay loyal. Not good timing when we are in a middle of launching new drugs!

Warburg only cares about timing that's good for them. They're going to make a killing on the deal. They don't care about launch of new drugs. Would you if you were in their position?

Docs are not even loyal now never mind this buyout! Pro and ilevro both launched close to each other and docs are jumping ship from Bromday to shitlevro just because they can't stand the turnover at b and l, lack of support, coverage etc. plus Alcon has triple the sales force and b and l makes their current reps cover enormous territories which makes it impossible to effectively call on your accounts and maintain business. Docs don't care if it is triple the concentration Alcon is a better picture over all for them and their practices. B and l are the fools time and time again!
