How long before the next round of layoffs?

Quote
























Everyone in my region had sob stories about how they were laid off from their last company blah, blah, blah. Most people had 3 or more pharma companies on their resume because it was not the first time they were laid off or downsized, yet, they were still back for more. Lay me off once shame on you, Lay me off twice shame on me. Get a new damn career people. The Pharma glory days ended over 5 years ago. Did you go to college to drop off packages, deliver lunches and collect signatures? I don't think you majored in that, so, put on your big boy pants go out and buy a car like 99.9% of working human beings do and don't rely on a job to drive you, your wife and the kids around. Everything has a price. Did you ever look around your sales room and see all these desperate, used car salesman type people pushing drugs and wonder Why me? Why am I doing this with my life? If you did not wonder it even for a split second you are brain dead.

Willing to bet you were laid off and couldn't get another pharma job!

Wow, you are bitter. I have many different sales jobs and most with a company car. There will always be a place in pharma sales for reps that bring something to the office other than lunch, and in your case is sounds like you brought a shitty attitude. If you see yourself as nothing more than a catere or UPS then that is probably how your offices saw you.

Next round of layoffs are here. The emails from corporate have announced it's coming.

I totally agree, if you read between the lines of the emails out today it is obvious that unless you are in CNS or Respiratory you are at risk. I see a combining of Select and TWH which will cut about about 40-50%. Oncology may get trimmed as well.

I don't know if they will combine the two but I agree the cuts are just weeks away.
 












This is not a lay-off or a cut, this is closing shop. Everyone has to go, no exceptions. Just apply for another job, take your severance and start all over again in a good company. Stop wasting your time, end the frustration and abuse. Just make your life better, anything else will do. Merry Christmas...
 












People please control what you can control, we have great products to sell and until we hear sales force reductions..it is business as usual! Think positive!! Go out and make it happen!

I am not buying in to the negativity at all. We all know that the cuts are only going to affect corporate and our snacks at the meetings.

You are so right, I already heard that the there will be no soaps in the shape of ducks at the Peabody in Feb. for the national sales meeting. The cuts are getting deep and ridiculous.
