DISPLACED REPS FROM LAST YEAR POST HERE

Quote







Started interviewing a few months before the layoff and got job offer first week of March. Still in Pharma at a company that feels like Eisai did 10 years ago. Love working at my new job and actually have free time on nights and weekends (something that ceased to exist at Eisai). Base is about 5 grand lower but bonus is running 6 to 11 thousand a quarter so making more in the long run. I did not realize how stressed I was from the constant mental beatings I took during last year and a half at Eisai.

I still visit the board here every few weeks to get a pulse on the morale. Things seem quite horrible from talking to a few friends still there. They feel like they are on the titanic and the band is playing as the boat sinks.

Best of luck to all of you stuck in Eisai hell. It is sad to see a once great company, that was a great place to work turn into such a nightmare.
 









I believe we got 3 months severnce for up to 5 yrs of service with the company. I think it was one month added for every year of service after that. We also got a lump sum for cobra benefits of 6 months which was around $6k if I recall. I do not recall everything 100%.

Thanks for your response. That's actually much more than most employees in HO believe was given to the reps who were displaced by SFE. Hope all have found remployment and are much happier than when working at this insane asylum.
 



Also found work which is 100x better and the management treats you like you are valuable. Not the BS I went thru at Eisa. Unappreciative, pariodiod manageres who questioned every decision and were constantly concerned in metrics and if you spent youf budget and calls. etc.

Does your new company have all of the metrics, call reporting, multiple field rides and tons of admin work too?

Not yet. I am hoping that it will not occur for awhile but it seems that eventually every company promotes someone that feels the need to start all of the above.

Like I said in the previous post, my new job is like Eisai was 10 years ago. I wish all of you the best as I think 2011 is going to be even more painful than last year.

Good luck.
 



MUCH better job. Left pharma, manage a team for device. No one makes me feel small or criminal, monitors me, and guess what - EVEN tells me I do a great job! So happy I can't stand it. and I was a old timer Eisai. blessed and thrilled.
 



Still on unemployment but got a real estate license. Should be making money before I get the last unemployment check. Happier than a pig in you-know-what!

Good luck to all. Layoffs will be the best thing that ever happened to you; it just may take a year or two to see it. A once great company run into the ground by LC, OB, SS, AM, DC, TC and a cast of DM's and brand managers.
 












Yep, they will start picking you apart for everything that they don't agree with, too old, too young, clothes, hair, subjective performance criteria etc etc., and also I don't know of one rep that actually got the package- they fired everyone before.
