GSK Vaccines told to remember the word Acquisition

GSK sales force was told to remember the word acquisition (GSK acquiring Novartis Vaccines) when the topic of layoffs were discussed. It seems to imply that most cuts will be from Novartis side (without that actually being said). Deb Waterhouse said that they will not be taking all of GSK employees and all of Novartis employees because it's not necessary, but we will have a bigger organization. The size of the vaccine sales force will depend on the ACIP recommendation on Bexzero.

Looks like Novartis Vaccines need to be looking for jobs. Probably a blessing in disguise though because Patient First is the worst torture you can go through.

I can verify that!!! I used to work for GSK and left because of patient first. What a ridiculous compensation plan. Mostly based on test taking and memorizing a PI.

Just spoke to a friend at GSK, looks like Novartis needs to be looking hard.

Field Sales force is looking hard after the bombshell was dropped during the town hall meeting - Message was clear - majority will be laid off.
There are a number of openings within the other divisions of the company but Field Force are not allowed to apply and interview for these positions.
Just shows how much people are valued by Senior Management - my guess that their golden parachute is tied up to ensure that the business is solid prior to the hand off.
I wonder how they can sleep at night as a number of people are sole breadwinners and have families to support - it's all about the money eh!

Where is VN now? He got his.
 




This is a company wide message within GSK vaccines, not just sales. Development will not allow departmental town halls for that reason alone, unlike sales. The smart ones have left or are leaving now. Long term employment is smarter than waiting a couple grand payout and then equally being unemployed for the same period of when that money would have been made ...
 




Tit for tat....I heard the same smirky reply from Novartis in regards to Oncology reps "remember We are aquiring them" why doesnt the senior leadership just offer buyouts to any rep over 55 and watch us RUN to the door then everyone else keeps a job WHEN will they ever learn?
