Poster #6, you are so right. Putting aside my worries about my own job, it's comical how many managers this company STILL has. While they are playing musical chairs at HO, and throwing each other under the bus out here in the field, I'm laughing thinking about how many reps these DM's will have working for them. For those of us who survive the cuts, just get ready to have ride-alongs every two weeks, since Eisai will likely save its managers AGAIN and each DM with have 4-6 reps working for him/her. Or, a better scenario will be, they finally make the needed cuts to these high priced babysitters. I've gone thorugh this many times, and trust me when I say, it might not be the best option to survive the cut. You will be lectured on how "lucky" you are to have a job and how the only reason for you to exist is to make this company more money. They will nickel and dime you for every little expenditure and make your life a living hell through sign-in sheet compliance.
It's been a GREAT ride people, but this business model (detail people, and that's all we really are folks) is going the way of the dinosaur and it's been a lot of fun and very, very lucrative. I've been saving money, have a car that's paid for, worked off all my credit card debt, and doing my best to prepare. I'm ready and I hope you are too. Good luck to everybody over the next few months, Eisai still has some great people here and I've been lucky to work with many of them.
