Good Morning and Good Selling!! We, at the AZ SSLT, just want to take a moment and thank each and every one of you for all your hard work throughout 2011. We are all extremely proud of each of you! We know you are all anxious about your future, or lack thereof, at AZ.
Times are difficult for all of pharma. Tough decisions must be made. Stock grants/options are of utmost importance to some of you, and all of us. As you all know, our company performance has been somewhat lack luster for awhile now. Our pipeline has been and continues to be, disappointing, to put it mildly. That's why we must do whatever we can to increase revenue, profits, and our share price. That's why we have turned to Publicis Touchpoint Solutions for their help. By using their reps, we save a shitload of money all the way around! It doesn't matter if they have a "stake in the game" or not, we just want to save money! So, we really have no choice but to get rid of about 40% of all of you. It's business and nothing personal.
In the upcoming holidays, we know you guys will be on pins-and-needles worrying about your layoffs next year. We also know some of you are in danger of losing your house when you lose your job. It's going to be tough, we know. But when things get tough, the tough get going, or moving, or whatever that saying is. We have heard that UPS will be hiring this spring, and we all know you guys will fit right in. One last request, please go out of your way to make the Touchpoint Ocean reps feel welcome! Introduce them in your offices. Have lunch with them. Reach out to them in the spirit of pharma rep brotherhood!
We all will be thinking of you and wishing you all the best for this holiday season. Again, step back, take a deep breath, look to 2012 as a new beginning and adventure along life's path! Stay focused and control what you can, and make just one extra call a day for AZ!!
Thanks everyone and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
