Hiring freeze

[Anonymous]

very scared. why is this happening?

You work for Valeant and you are surprised? It is happening because you work for Valeant. Valeant exists to make money for the stock holders. If you wanted a job with long term security you should have started to look for a job as soon as you were acquired by Valeant.

Your fault if you waited too long. When the life boats started loading on the Titanic you should have jumped in. Now the orchestra is playing and the you are faced with the long jump into the North Atlantic.

Good Luck

in contact lenses or pharma or surgical? think this is a rumour

Hiring freeze in Pharma for obvious reasons: 1) Vacancies are viewed as profit in the Valeant culture. 2) No respect for employees, customers, or patients. Only shareholders. 3) Lotemax generic will hit in Q3 so expect a major reorg and downsizing by year end. Hiring freeze helps thin the numbers.

Why haven't managers said anything ?

Everything is cloak & dagger in this place

I call BS on this. No hiring freeze - quite the opposite - in pharma, lots of people keep leaving so the revolving door keeps turning. They need to still hire in order to have full territories and realize the complete money making potential.

I hope #7 is correct but #4's response seems reasonable. Who knows? It has been super quiet.

A friend of mine interviewed for a vacancy two weeks ago. They was sent an email by the hiring manager about a hiring freeze taking place. My gut says this has a huge stink on it.

There is no hiring freeze people. Why do you have to post this shit? Have you not seen all the emails announcing new hires? Oh, i guess those were all made up. A new rep was just hired (offer extended) in my district, so obviously no freeze.

Go to work. Find some hobbies. Volunteer. Excercise.

Stop the fear mongering. Its wrong.

Hiring blue team members. Just filled a vacancy last week. No freeze.

Fair enough. My friend that was "frozen" out of a position was applying for a white team position. Why a freeze there?!?

 

[Anonymous]

I believe "hiring freeze" is a somewhat polite way of saying" no thank you"
I know, your friend was more than qualified, etc., there are many reasons why a manager doesn't see a fit and moves on. There are plenty of candidates these days so they can selective

Perhaps my friend was more than qualified, perhaps not, that's all part of interviewing. But hiring freeze would be a lame excuse, especially on an email.

THERE IS NO HIRING FREEZE.

YES. B&L Pharma is under a hiring freeze. Ask your manager. Vacancies will be covered by existing counterparts. #4 above is spot on.

 

[Anonymous]

hiring freeze is in place. no offers being given since last week. you heard it here first!

 

[Anonymous]

Hiring freeze now, next realignment , then get ready to launch new products. Ask Ray. Maybe we will get smaller territories, maybe!

 

[Anonymous]

Is obviously isn't the case for B+L surgical. They have several positions posted & are making offers still.

Confirmed with HR, freeze won't happen again until at least October, even then it might just be a good frost. Most freezes are normal in November tho.
