You must be new to contract. This is common and it would be a safe bet that the new hires were told by the hiring managers that there was a shakeup coming. Ventiv would not necessarily know how deep cuts would be, their biggest job is to keep boots on the ground and deliver reach and frequency metrics. If Amylin/BMS are footing the bill for training per the contract, why is that bullshit. None of those guys left a job to come here, and now they will have a recruiter trying to get them placed. It was a gamble that they did not lose on as you think.
