AZ Diabetes Contact call (ds4 & summit)







how do they determine access? I would imagine we all have tough access... but is there some sort of metric they will base this off of?

Likely they are looking at geographies that have large provider groups that have cut off all rep access. Apparently, in parts of Minnesota there is virtually no rep access. Why have reps there?
 






























This was predictable. Get your resumes going. Because of the numbers involved It is a federal law that they give you sixty days notice (WARN ACT). That in addition to severance as applicable . Enjoy the summer. Astra Zeneca is being destroyed by Pascal ( who effectively destroyed Genentech) and the mindless leadership led by Topher (really?? get an adult name). Publicis is one of the lowest paying contract sales groups. if you like contracts, Inventive pays better, PDI does too and bonuses are better and you have a car.

The insulting thing was the quick and robot like call today without even taking the time to let employees ask questions. Badly done.
 






It is absolutely not a federal law to give you sixt days. They have to give 30 on this contract and today's announcement was the 30 days notice.. We are contract so read your offer letter they can let you go at anytime. Today's call was your notice.

wrong.. 60 days is law. Read the Warn Act. And the notification was not formal notification. Or in writing.

You're in for a big surprise and a much needed education moron. Next time when you have no clue what you are talking about and just parroting out misunderstood info you heard somewhere else just keep your yap shut. You embarrass yourself and the other reps on this contract with your ignorance.
 
























Eh, depends on how many of the AZ primary care reps are rolled into diabetes. Unless they roll a LOT of them over, I don't see how they can cut 50% of DS4.

What about the CSA's? I wonder if they will be cut? The call said that the cuts were CSO related. Sad for those of us who thought we'd be here till end of 2016.
