I am still waiting by the phone...
I was retained and I am devastated. I know I have colleagues who wanted to keep their jobs and can't. Why couldn't they have allowed us to volunteer for severance?! Probably because we all would have...
Then quit. If you don't want the job, do us a favor and leave. NOW!!
Oh, that's exactly my point. I do have something better lined up and I will be quitting sometime. I have done a great job for Cephalon, but the last year has taken the fun out of it for me, so I am moving on. Sadly, I bet a lot of people who were retained will quit within a couple of months while there will be people who were laid off who needed this job more than I do and would have gladly traded places with me.
You're right, I was leaving anyways. But some people needed this job and actually turned down previous offers after being assured from ms that they would be retained.
if anybody actually turned down an offer in order to stay with ceph then they are the dumbest emm-effer alive and deserve to be out of a job. I doubt this actually happened, though.
Anyone know what happened to the Pittsburgh area team? Manager and reps ho got cut? So far of the people I know were cut were female, minority, or older aged people. Many having several p club wins I was cut I had 3 p club wins. So who knows but glad I was proactive now I have accepted Another amazing position and can pocket 12 months severence. I hope others are so lucky! To all that were retained you will be going through this again soon hen Provigil goes generic. Wishing everyone the very best!
