DM meeting next week to discuss realignment?

[Anonymous]

if people really were laid off, a lot more people would be posting it

Whoever says they got laid off is lying - probably an Allergan rep. Nobody knows a damn thing, even the DMs, until early next week. There's no point in us all freaking out and ruining our weekend. Something obviously is going on - the last-minute DM meeting in Ft Worth, the fact that neither SEE or Eye Care has booked flights for a National Meeting happening in a month... but it could be a simple territory/ DM realignment vs actual layoffs. Fingers crossed?

This makes the most sense of anything posted. Something is happening, but we just need to wait and see.

Everyone that is keeping a job found out today by 5:00pm CST. If you didn't you find out your fate Monday after DM meeting. Sorry to say, no news is bad news.

Unfortunately, it does. Been there, done that.

No company calls people on a Friday and makes others wait until Monday.
This is going to hard enough on people, lets not try to twist the knife.

The managers will be in TX this week. I'm sure the rest of us will know the rest of the story by the end of the week.

I think it's pretty obvious that the AOR position is obsolete anymore. Should all be MSR's with the products we have currently. Also way too much overlap in SEE and more so in Eye Care. Good luck everyone. I hope they start trimming the fat with the useless DM positions. We don't need them.

Don't you think it's weird that we were sent an email for the new travel policy webinar and then they cancelled it?

 

[Anonymous]

I did find that odd but even before that, i thought it was wierd because we always book our travel early..did anyone get there jan sample shipment yet?

SEE samples not being keyed til 17th this month. To allow for that extra 7 days to lay off sales force? I'm trying not to be negative but seems the writing may be on the wall.

Just remember your brand story and the three c's and you'll ride this out.

we were also told that travel to nsm can't be booked until the 17th. Samples keyed on the 17th and travel booking to nsm opens on 17th.....hmmm

i dont think eye care has received Jan samples either

 

[Anonymous]

Eye Care just started to get samples, but they are later than normal. Just did the online training for the travel, nothing more than reading. Lets wait and see what tomorrow brings!

Are you guys watching the golden globes? Man, Jodie Foster is Fifty?! Can you believe it? That reminds me, word is they are laying off anyone over fifty.

 

[Anonymous]

Anyone with info? Rumors galore...spill.

Contract gone, everyone else distributed by volume, and any fat trimmed off the see and eye care. Get ready! Coming soon.

If this is true, is it surprising? Primary care pharma "sales" means no access. I know so many who left SEE after Patanase was added and all those primary care doctors were added. When you went from decent access to 90% of your daily calls being sample drops/no see, you couldn't think that would actually last and make business sense, did you?

Now I know management told you to get creative to see those no see Doctors, but even they knew that was pure BS.

Pharma blows. Primary care pharma sales both sucks and blows (and yes that is possible).

are they trimming eye care G, M, or O's?
