CV Jan 31st


Sadly the culture has always been an issue here. Des just put the cherry on top. Praying they find somewhere else to put him. No doubt a very smart man but not for all of sales
 
























A lot of people speculating but only a few know what's happening. The person who said Feb 31st obviously knew it was end of Feb. The stupidest answer on here is probably the most accurate.
 








The reorg from 2 years ago was lead by Duane. Think about that. That reorg was an inside job w/ minimal consultants - mostly Novartis mapping. The same people who cannot provide data, used their data to design our territories and areas and the absolute worst sales veep in the entire industry signed off on it.
The new regions and areas will have different boundaries and territories. if cuts are extend territories will look similar to pre Duane cv1, if cuts moderate they’ll be similar to pre Duane cv2. Not saying they’ll be the same but they will be similar in size.
This can't be true. There is simply no way this is accurate.
Duane is perhaps the stupidest person I have crossed paths with in my career, which covers a lot of ground.
The absolute stupidest.
I get the fact that Victor and Dez seem to like him (for some reason), but they are both smart enough to know that Duane is nothing more than a cymbal-clapping idiot.
Trusting him with a task that serious would be like dragging a random out of a crack-house and asking them to draw new territory maps.
I hope you're right, as it would confirm a few of my suspicions about this company, but I just can't wrap my head around Duane being handed an assignment that doesn't require the question "Sure thing Dez, do you want mayonnaise on that"?

Duane was definitely an idiot with his blank stare of nothingness. The sad part is that I find Dez to be worse. Like previous posts, he is a virus. In addition, he is a slime of a person. Countless reps have told me over the years how he sexually harassed them and uses his position to try and get some action. Wouldn't be surprised if he an adulterer in addition to be being a horrible leader.
 
























Just because you're a terrible rep doesn't mean you should be slinging accusations
It is oddly satisfying to see that Duane has a fan-club.
"Double-Credit" Duane deserves our respect, and I commend you for giving it to him.
The speed and completeness with which he pile-drived a $9B asset into the cesspool should live on in industry lore.
His ignorance and incompetence were prodigious, and I am certain that he will be the only senior leader we will ever see get openly mocked and booed while presenting at a national meeting.
Congratulations Duane! Not only did you end hundreds of careers prematurely and fuck over the shareholders, it seemed you gained an admirer or two along the way.
 
























































Dude had it written all over his face. Cv is toast soon!
100% agree. Dez said basically nothing, but his body language said you are all F'd. I would bet half of CV is gone before Easter. Entresto is cooked in the next couple of months. The new CV products are 2 years out. No way we do 2 years of disease state especially now that LPa got pushed back and we might not be first to market.
 








Does anyone have any RELIABLE intel on the layoffs? Like actual info such as what are the parameters used to determine who stays and goes? Anyone besides the bunch of morons that are typing about disgusting nonsense?
Why would you think anyone would have intel? Crazy. Yeah, Des called up a few of his favorite reps and made them pinky swear on his job that they won’t tell anyone lol. No one would but C suite people like Vas, Des. Anything anyone is saying on here is all guessing

When Entresto was launched, it was the only product we had. Just ONE product, yet 2 reps per territory AND a useless “hospital” rep. Entresto did poorly for 1st 3 years of launch.
