Hiring Freeze, Layoffs?

[anonymous]

New territories, teams, and TBMs’ team assignments are being finalized this week. Skype cc invites (with little to no details) will come out just when no one is expecting it. Major announcements will be made just prior to Thanksgiving. Good luck to all.

Thanksgiving?

HSBS are paid on total dirt now. How does that factor in since it makes no sense.

If you’re still working in the respiratory circus at Thanksgiving then you deserve to be eaten. Face it they won’t pardon you. Value through intimidation
Now get out and work you Filthy animals

The first part of this is true and will happen before the end of Q1. There may be a part 2 near Thanksgiving, but things will start sooner than that. Smaller teams trained on most products.

More than one rep per territory? Bigger or smaller territories? Thanks

Any downsize in this one, or just realignment?

 

[anonymous]

downsizing has already begun. Reps in west have been shrunk to two feet tall and plan is to shrink reps in east to three feet tall Can get more reps at a meeting as a result and smart cars can fit five three foot reps and two foot reps in each

This would be a better solution than reps using 2 cars to make joint call on customers. You could market this be stating this would be eco friendly...

Ridgefield insider here. Get your resumes ready...the end of Q2 will be very ugly for everybody. No teams safe...every team and division will experience some movement or major change in personnel. As expected, rankings will play a role, but other factors as well.

So is there anything announced in April, or is that just rumor?

First thing thats wrong. Ranking is never really taken in to consideration.

Right. But this time it is.

Actually, from an HR perspective, ranking and geographic location will play a role EVERY time. This protects corporations from discrimination lawsuits.
This is why rankings are 98% based on sales goal performance.

Then can you explain why I have seen great reps in perfect geography up there in the rankings gone?

It is not the sole defining factor in determining if one goes or stays. It is just but one of several other factor considered.

i just got hired. Good thing I’m still actively looking. What is severance like here, typicallly? Bc obviously I have little tenure. Slim picking folks, especially if salary expectations are about 6-figures.

I wouldn't worry too much about a layoff. The strongest rumors are for some kind of restructure. A fairly small number of people usually get displaced in that scenario. You might end up realigned. Depending what part of the country you are in, they do a pretty good job of pulling people back in that were affected. Obviously I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a major layoff this year. They said the Go To Market initiative would last for 5 or 6 years, so we are just half way through.

I'm pretty sure generic Advair will make an impact in sales. Bottom line is always cost.
