I'm surprised african americans didn't do something sooner
the few I knew were fired or displaced. NVS make no attempt
to retain or increase the representation of african american reps
other than the token you see in urban areas . God forbid they'd
allow them to work in subiurbs Oh & for the record screwing over disabled reps
is disgusting. I'm embarrassed to work for this company
 












Novartis thinks they will sweep this under the rug . Guess again .
This issue will blow up in your faces . Even though the cowards hide
in Basel. Americans don't like their people screwed by the neutral swiss
 




































Novartis is a disgusting company not just for this though it certainly ranks as among the most egregious thing I have ever heard of for any company let alone a healthcare company.
Surreal is the only word to describe it .

Can someone tell me why we don't have a union. If there was any profession that needed a union, its ours folks. I'm being railroaded by the BPO right now and I told them to kiss my ass. Unreal story. We need to form a union for medical sales workers. Who can help???? Anyone???

Spoke with 2 lawfirms about potential class action. Stay Tuned .

I spoke to a lawyer from a prominent firm in D.C. this weekend about this. She has to recuse herself from any proceedings as her firm has represented NPC in the past. This is a gray area as it pertains to ERISA. Here is what she said:

Employers and insurers claim that they don't violate ERISA 702 when all the participants within a particular group, or all the participants within a particular plan, are all treated the same. In other words, they can't single out one person with cancer from a larger group of workers and say, "you have to pay more premiums, even though you're in the same group as everyone else." This is especially true when they have been included in this group until now and for no apparent reason they are now segregating them.

She said essentially Novartis is gambling no one will challenge this and it will just slide along. She said the way to sink this whole effort is to get a class action going and demand a jury trial. They will be crucified both financially and in public opinion. It will make the Velez case look like a joyride on both levels. In terms of damages it could be tens to hundreds of millions based on pain and suffering (undisputable in this group) with the added bonus of having to provide essentially free healthcare coverage to the plaintiffs.

This should be done in federal labor court and this way also the 33% contingency would be added on to the award to pay the lawyers above and beyond the actual damages awarded.

Found out that the head of HR benefits at Novartis is actually former Mckinsey consultant who brought former colleagues to devise this whole scheme; good for them.

Does any one actually have irrefutable proof this is going to happen? No one will confirm the change to me from corporate but I suspect they wish to spring it on the employees last minute & let the chips fall where they may. Regardless we need to start legal proceedings asap.

I am in HR & can tell you we don't care if you croak. Too bad you should have stayed healthy. You are an expense we decided not to pay for. End of story .

And that my friend is exactly why this company is having a difficult time making sales numbers! Do you actually think you can treat people like this and not expect a reaction?
Keep treating your sales force, the people selling that make the money for this company, and see how it works for you!

Call the Novartis Benefits Resource Center (877-515-0005). They will confirm this.

This belgian waffle is a pathetic joke , he's a 3 & done , 3 years at unilever, fucked them up & bailed , 3 years at squibb , a horror show there & bailed , 2+ at Novartis & snowed them with his BS & created his 3rd horror show .

The Nazi jerkwad graduate from
"Vlerick Leuven-Gent Management School" making decisions to fuck over thousands of Americans.

If you saw him switch on the gas at auscwitz he would look right at home.
