Any updates about EPBU Lipitor Nicotrol contract?

Why do you people seem so sure?

My guess is that many will be gone, but not everybody.

Then again, I don't know crap. All I do know is that All Is Quiet On The Western Front, and that is never a good sign.

I am sure because I was told by someone who definitely knows the real story. It is over at the end of March, take that to the bank.

We are having a town hall on Friday. Expect and invitation either tonight or tomorrow.

I do not understand why people are surprised this is done. The 180 days from lipitor loss is over, and this was the date we had all heard of in the first place. Nicotrol is going no where, and nobody can justify keeping us on for the few scripts we actually get filled at the pharmacy.

This is CSO people. They don't need to be transparent. That is why they hire us, and don't have Pfizer reps in the field like they used to. They aren't required to give us severance, or notice or transparancy...and the way Pharma is going these days, we will all be in CSO positions soon!

EPBU is done. However, they do have some (about 21) P4 reps still out in the field. They are using us as fill in's etc. for open territories. but sorry folks, we are all finished at the end of March.

Best of luck to all of you. It is a hard industry we are in...and hope everyone lands on their feet whether it be another CSO or another company.

Pp. 180 days from 12/1 isn't 3/31. They could keep us on with Lipitor until June 1. They then might have a better idea as to Eliquis and its approval. The legacy Pfizer reps are selling old old drugs. Celebrex Premarin lyrica. Come one can they pay a rep for selling Toviaz?

Pfizer is in a world of hurt.

Here is my prediction for the conference call: PAIN. Lots of pain.

But, a wise person would see this as an opportunity to step into other career paths.

My guess is that they give us the afternoon off, and then the rest of the time on the contract is going to be spent closing out territories and no more time in the field...

either that or nothing.

Hope I am wrong.
