DO NOT LISTEN TO PFIZER, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US!!!







it costs pfizer a lot less money if you walk away, so think about the posts

It won't cost them anything...the new company foots the bill unless Pfizer insists on their employees being well compensated and why would they do that?? In the end the more employees get the less Pfizer gets and the more it costs the new owner.

You people know zippo about finances spewing these companies like they have $10B laying arround waiting to buy PAH. C'mon you dumbasses.

Those of you who want to go - git going. We don't need you. The business is doing just fine, thank you, exceptional this year. And, they continue to hire people - that's the real sign. We had a new rep start in my area this week.

I for one am looking forward to getting rid of Pfizer and being separate. It will happen and we'll all be much better off.

Alright buddy...the business is doing fine but don't think for one second it means the new company will keep you. In the end they will get rid of you or the person next to you. And they continue to hire people because how will it look with a bunch of empty unmanaged territories out there?? Yeah... as a potential suitor I would love that. You're the dumbass if you think it's going to be business as usual. As soon as I find something else I am out of here. Good luck trying to find a job with a hundred other reps when the company gets sold.

r***** banter, my Sunday entertainment. Recruiters have low paying jobs to fill so make sure you quit one of the best paying animal health jobs as soon as possible. "the suitor"lol...doesn't give a rats ass about you, neither does pfizer, nor the next piece of shit corporation you go to work for. If you like your job continue, if you don't leave. Don't base your decision on a message board or some twenty something dipshit in the field. Thanks for the entertainment "buddy" IMHO you should not leave based on fear of a spin off or purchase. If you have one of the sociopath ASMs do this; open door, document, sue.

With that said, I just received an offer for a Therapeutic Specialist position. Should I leave my current position for this? Thanks
 






To you who automatically think your job is safe and that uppermanagement is looking out for your best interests.....ask around & be vigilant. If you know of anyone from the days of Wyeth/Ft. Dodge, Warner-Lambert, or Pharmacia/Upjohn acquisitions talk with them. See what was said before the acquisition and what happened afterwards. In all cases lots of people were layed of with severance eventhough before the acquisition was complete people were told their "jobs are safe, keep working, increase sales, yaddi, yaddi yadda".

I personally was one of them and lucky to find a job before severance ran out. Others were not so lucky. If something comes along now that you feel you would enjoy doing, make an income you're comfortable with, etc, I would seriously consider the new job opportunity. Yes, you may get lucky and have a new job right after getting severance & be able to double dip. But, it's a big gamble. Good luck!
 






If it comes to me competing with the bum on my left or right - guess what - I'm going beat them because I can sell and I blow out my quota. So go ahead and worry that it's not business as usual. It is to me. For those that can sell, like me, I'm not worried at all. Best defense folks is a good offense.

Funny...r***** banter...and you're here participating like everyone else?! So what dumb ass took the message of this thread as advising people to jump ship tomorrow for anything available? Apparently your dumb ass did. Look the point is to look now for something comparable or better...get it??? Yes, when the job is here it's great but why not be proactive?

Mr. Supreme sales person....
Good luck & keep drinking the kool aid.

For all those others out there, the past acquisitions didn't care about if you can blow out your quota. It's location of territory, business structure, and other factors that are considered when making the cut/keep decisions. In the past, it didn't matter if you had won President's circle numerous times, had outstanding sales, etc. Those people got cut too.

Yes, some will make it through unscathed. Some will not. Take this as you may from those of us who have gone through this in the past.
 






If there is a choice, the weak will go. As for the company caring - is this really worth wasting time writing this? There is no caring and there is no charity. We're hired guns paid to do a job, so do it well, and you stand a reasonable chance of keeping your job.

Go ahead and read back through this forum of all the failed predictions and "hold on to your hats" comments, big layoffs coming. Never happened. In the years I've been here, the field force has had way more upsizing than the one downsizing back in CAD. Look at the number of reps here in 2001 versus 2011. People - let's go with facts and what's happened. I don't need the koolaid.

I hate the doomsdayers.

Like a previous poster stated, having good numbers is just a small (I mean SMALL) fraction of what factors into you being here or not during a layoff. All people are saying is to not get comfortable. Start looking out for opportunities.
 












Don't kid yourself - performance is most of it. Yes there are other factors, but ultimately the company needs to retain those who can make money.

Really?? How many people are in the market looking for jobs that have unbelievable resumes (president circle... never miss quota)? Plenty!! So you're telling me that all of them were laid off for someone with even better numbers? Who's kidding who?!
