Hmmmmm...all i heard was a lot of heavy breathing and weird sounds...
um...from what I heard on VM, there was no language in the message which gave a specific extension period...2 years, 1 year, 6 months, etc. All that was mentioned was that Merck has approved and will continue the partnership with Publicis for the EPBU. No mention of raises...no mention of 2 years extension...nothing. So, take it for what it is...
My DM said 2 yr extension and looking at the raises for June.
there are no full time people on this contract except DMs. All reps are part time.
