HCV Layoffs





















Since we're only tracking $1.5B, it's half of Ricky's initial target of $3B. I hear the plan is to slice the sales team to half of its launch size. Either attrition or cuts.... by end of August!
 




















They promised an annual run rate of ATLEAST $3 billion (or $750 million per quarter) by year end, and based on what I am seeing in my territory we should surpass that amount.

This is all silly talk. There will be layoffs and they will most likely be announced 8/3. Abbvie will be required by federal law to provide 60 days compensation after announcing the layoff. So, your official separation date from the company will be 10/3. After 10/3, whatever severance they've offered you and you've agreed to by signing the contract will kick in. You'll get paid your vacation days, partial bonus, blah, blah, blah.

Stay if you like and be one of the reps selling this dog just in a much larger geography. But unless management deep discounts VK, sales will be going nowhere!

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the reps are insane
All the reps are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

So when they start cutting reps, will that be the same as when they hacked that cow to death in apocalypse now?
