Amgen

What are you talking about? We are all going to hold hands and sing Kumbaya as we all walk over to Amgen together. Everything will be peachy keen and we will all make Quota no problem :)
 
















From how I understand it all of the sales force will get the email saying we are on the list. Which pretty much means we will not be a part of BMS. But later we will find out if Amgen will actually employ us with an official offer.... is that correct? The town hall call was not clear on this.

Correct. We will probably get the email Friday.
 




Agreed. I’ve been through 2 of these before and this is the most transparent the process has ever been.

Did anyone get their notification from Amgen yet?


Man, you must have worked for some shitty companies. I’ve gone through this two times, as well. The other companies were way more transparent and let the sales force know before any media outlet. Keep drinking that Celgene juice... it’s almost gone.

Those must have been Mickey Mouse companies because everyone knows sales reps can’t keep a secret to save their lives.

What tiny, privately held dump did you work for? You think a publicly traded company is going to let employees leak details to the media???! Are you out of your mind???? Oh yea good idea, lets let the employees handle the PR and take a couple point hit to the stock!!!

Exactly!!

I just got my transfer notice from HR. Anyone else? Can’t wait to see what Amgen offers. Sure beats BMS

That makes complete sense dipshit!

Hey sales force, here is what is gonna happen but shhhhhhhh. Dont say anything.
 








Offers within next week or two. Need to have all of the details in terms of NJ office so employees can make a decision or if they qualify for severance due to "good cause"

I hope it’s that soon. If I’m not being kept that’s fine, but I want to job hunt as soon as I can. Please don’t drag this out!!
 




















Paying $13.4B AND taking on reps from Celgene is too much $$ for Otezla. Believe me, the INBU reps at Amgen can handle Otezla by themselves!

Yea absolutely my man, no way after paying $13 billion dollars they can afford to pay the sales force $25 million dollars...oh wait....

I guess that’s kind of like.. less than pennies on the dollar for the sales force...a fraction of a penny you could say. So in context the sales force will cost less than that penny you won’t even bother bending over to pick up.

With that being said no way Amgen is keeping Celgene’s sales force, these reps are a joke. Talk to any p club winner.. it’s almost comical hearing them talk about their business.

Or it could be a fine time to trim the copious fat from your bloated sleepwalking enbrel sales farce. I'm sure that p-club winners everywhere find you comical
