I think they want to see which reps are talking to which reps. My manager recently asked all of us individually who we talk to. When our numbers looks this bad as a whole and our stock price is in the tank, THIS is Kevan’s focus??? Focus on Your Job Kevan!!!!! Picking apart phone bills to see who may be talking to someone who thinks ill of you will Not Improve your stock price

You cannot be serious!? I'll talk to whomever the fuck I want to.

And yes the stock price is embarrassing

Just talked to a friend who went to Oyster point...they will be out in a few weeks doing disease state. Early November launch.

Salaries based on experience but 140-150 not unheard of. 4 weeks vacation and Holiday shut down.

Your friend lied! No one there is getting 140-150 as a rep, besides that they wouldn’t even speak to anyone from Kala because of the non-compete.

Is that why a couple people went over there...? I know of at least 4.
Don't kid yourself

How many people will leave or be let go this week?

 

[anonymous]

I’ll play along. There was about 3 last week including 2 managers that left or that were pushed out. I will say there will probably be 2 more this week.

For those who've experienced both, which company/launch is worse? Shire/Xiidra? Or Kala/Eysuvis?

Xiidra was doing 15k scripts a week 3 months into launch vs 1k scripts a week 9 months into launch.

1. Don't speak up. Keep your head down. This is not a culture welcoming of suggestions you will be singled out. They just want yes men and women.
2. Be diligent. Put your calls in, spend your budget and check the box - Management has been instructed to fill out a very large and very detailed form after every field ride (which will be often). Basically check the box and CYA because they are looking at and documenting EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING.
3. Play the game even if the toxic culture of this place is making you want to burn it all down, but keep notes bc if you do get let go you've got reciepts.

Kala is no longer a fun and good company to work for. Just check the box and like most others keep looking for something better.

I and many of my peers find the Kala culture to be rewarding and supportive. The poor performers/bad seeds always post negativity,

Sure Kevan! In what way? Is that why myself (ranked near the top) and many other top performing reps are currently interviewing and looking to leave?

Every time I am on LinkedIn, Kevan is active. He must be looking too. Good luck with That buddy! Wish we could fill out a detailed performance report on YOU. Why are you spending time creating reports for reps to be micromanaged when you need to be spending all that time strategizing for better results for us!?

This is hysterical. You hired great people. You said it. Poor attempt at damage control. Stock price and history of serious downward spiral say everything you need to know

Any room in that report for rep thoughts on managers? Like how late she is Every single field ride from day one. Or…priceless….she says her flight is delayed for Every Single out of town field ride. So disorganized beyond insane
