You may be right. Arcapta is a good product that never received the support it needed to survive. The saddest part of all, is, there are only 25 or so Arcapta reps. Instead of possible layoffs, couldn't they find spots for these reps? I hope they do, but if not, it would be a shame if the Arcapta reps are displaced.
I feel aweful for you guys. Im in NP and feel Novartis has lied and over promised to us. Good luck to you Monday
Considering the fact that Pc reps are going to start printing Arcapta, this is not a good sign. I feel so bad for you guys but we will know our fate as well in two weeks . Hang in there 
Poster from NP that said Novartis lied...are you kidding or did u have your head buried in the sand for the last year. Innes and his Leadership team had the stones to tell you all here that we were missing targets. They implemented hiring freeze to save jobs and have consistently been as transparent as possible. If you want to blame anyone...blame the reps who could not hit target of 6-10 scripts a month. They are the ones you should be upset with!!!!!
what happened with COPD was it not supposed to be a massive growth market?
6-8 scripts per month? You call that a thriving business???
Just a re focus conference call. Stop worrying! No layoffs yet. Yet! Maybe later in year if we don't pull up numbers, but nothing tomorrow!
refocus on? - sell more and save the company - seems like a lot of these calls are going on - or from what you say sell more and save your job
Let us know when you hear something. Our calls at 2
no future for another blockbuster "promise" then, this just sucks
Did anyone listen on Monday? Nikos said we are ceasing promotion of arcapta in USA. PC not selling it, no one is.
US is 50% of global sales for ALL COPD.... if your dead here you are dead everywhere..
GSK kicked our ass and those behind us who were supposed to build a product pipeline with clearance ***** us in the ass.. .. if there was a future then they would not have killed global r&d with the loss of 400 jobs in Horsham last year
the writing was on the wall ages ago and we are the ones thrown against it.. but that is life, so time to move on to a company that can actually deliver on its promises and get its pipeline into market for reps to have something to sell with some benefits vs the competition.
