How many Suicides, Bankruptcys, Forclosures, Divorces will Novartis cause ?

[Anonymous]

Suck my balls you corp apologist stooge
Karma's a biotch you spineless POS

How did you fool the managing interviewer to get your foot in the door? You were out of your league in the 1st place. BuhBye!

The answer is ZERO.

Suicides - your choice

Bankruptcy - Your fault if you spent too much. Every hear of the concept of savings and an emergency account?

Foreclosure - Your fault for buying more of a house than you can afford

Divorce - Your fault if you married someone who will drop you the minute you lose a job. Tell your wife to stop eating bonbons, watching Oprah and then to get off the couch and get a job.

this response shows the low level of intelligence among the reps. firstly, people are negatively impacted by losing their jobs or being transferred. you are obviously a trust fund baby who took the job for the free dinners and car since you are unaware of any financial pressure. also your misogynist response about wives shows your complete and total removal from reality since most married women work. hope you are the first to go to the unemployment line.

Losing a job is one of the most stressful life issues and as we know in today job market at almost 10% unemployment its challenging to find work.

in this industry with all other layoffs it is going to be extremely difficult to get employment in the pharma field.

Don't make light of people facing severe financial hardships. The most damaging is the loss of self esteem, pain both physical and mental, extreme stress and depression.

I know this because I was let go a few yrs back and it hurts. You worry on how it will effect your family and change your life in a negative way. No one likes to be kicked to the side of the road and feel useless.

Its sad the companies use this time of yr to cut employees. what ever happened to the real old fashioned holiday spirit? Now its all about GREED % PROFITS and piss on the little people.

If you are let go just keep your head up, fight the anger, stress, and negative issues and say you are a better person than NVS and push forward for your family and self

God bless to all and good luck

This is the most irresponsible, immature, and dumbest post I have ever seen.
Talk about 'Victim Mentality" and "Entitlement Thinking". My god! Novartis owes us nothing and is NOT responsible for any of your suggested consequences. You are an idiot.

Tell it to the 3 widows & 1 parent children already existing from
several Novartis induced suicides.

You on the other hand are a corp apologist stooge in denial
guess it helps you sleep better.

Novartis has the right to downsize it's own sales force. If they kept us on when it didn't make financial sence, that would be socialism. None of us would run our own business that way. With that said I can also understand where this post is comming from. Novartis chose instruct their managers to mistreat the majority of reps over the previous 2-3 years in an effort to force reps out and not refill positions. Many reps have looked for a new opportunity outside of Novartis during the previous 12 months, but realize the current economy has limited their options. In light of their recent efforts to find work, the constant beatdown from management, and potentially and likely loosing their job tomorrow, you have a perfect storm for feeling hopeless. Just realize that it is not all in your head. Novartis truly is a toxic environment and has caused you great stress. Consider yourself lucky if you actually do lose your job tomorrow. It is a blessing in disguise

Get ready to make about 1/2 of what you were making at Novartis. If you REALLY think about it, you're not worth what they pay you... you only ONLY make what you make because
branded drugs cost a lot to make initially (R&D, etc), then it's mostly pure profit for pharma companies. Welcome to your new reality: technical people with advanced degrees make (or should make) >100/year, not you; people who change the efficiency of a system make a lot of money, not you; physicians who save or vastly improve lives make a decent amount of money because they've trained their minds to think critically about situations, not you.

Sorry to be so blunt, but deep inside, if you don't think this is the case, you're deranged to a significant degree. It's just that you're used to it... it's what you've come to expect. Not any longer. And if you haven't saved for disasters like this, you're an idiot.

This experience will strengthen your innate trait called character, if you ever had any to begin with. Layoffs are a great and much-needed wake up call for the lot of you. Buckle up and enjoy the ride... it's gonna be interesting!

Maybe when management is accountable for Galvus , Zelnorm , Gender Discrimination,
off lable promotions, bribery to name a few, they can also find that "innate character trait" you fucking stooge. Now go fucking hang yourself in shame . You are a waste of oxygen & other valauable resources

 

[Anonymous]

They don't have any CHARACTER thats why they blame the deepest pockets for everything and call mature responsible adults that balance their finances and don't kill themselves, apologists. You can't help but mock their immaturity. "where's my handout!" Not here buddy. Good luck interviewing and telling your prospective employer how badly you have been treated.

When bad things happen to you, do you ball up in the fetal position with your thumb up your ass? No! Managers and off label promtions? Do you hear yourself? If there were a Tonka Toy in your play area right now you would probably pick it up and throw it at someone! Maybe its time for a little Nappy? Why don't you pull out your cot! Grow up and take care of those anger issues!

The truth hurts, don't it? They shouldn't retain your "valuable" yet dumb ass. And don't blame your plight on management... you're to blame. You shouldn't be making over 60/year for your delivery expertise.

I like this answer. IMHO Novartis is very well known for harassment already in peaceful times. It's just part of their business model. They dont want to get this label though because they constantly need naive fresh flesh capable of drinking as much kool-aid as possible that can push things beyond the limits of ethics, moraity and the law. In any case, what I find surprising is that there are so many HR trolls posting in this thread trying to mitigate the disturbing question. Must be part of the perception management hypocrisy.

You're a fucking tool . WTF does your idiot grandparents experience have to do with fucking people over ?
Jackass Jimenez unequivically stated no layoffs & a week later fucks over 1400 people.
Fuck you & your bootstraps jackass. The economy was booming back in those days because of the wars.
This is your moral equivalence ?
Hope you & your litter are homeless on a soup kitchen line.
Rep my ass. Fuck you ...again

OMFG... you must be the same imbecile that wished cancer on someone on this board. You are sick and should lose your job because you posted this and think this way. You need to be hospitalized. The poster you referenced is right. He talked about grandparents going through the depression, i.e. starving and no money- before we even had welfare, then talked about war which was not pretty either and our current war pales dramatically in comparison to WWII. It's called life- survival of the fittest, so go watch some Lion King and get over yourself. I can not believe how fucking sick you are wishing children in a "kitchen line." You are a coward, souless, pathetic individual and I just dare you to identify yourself you fucking wimp.

Your paranoia has reached new heights! We are laying off 1400 people at Novartis and HR has time to monitor hairbrained conspiricies. Bad Novartis! Give me my BaBa!

Any managers on the dead pool with like Lindsey Lohan ?

Wow, this is the most messed up thread. But seriously, you, whoever you are, will be happier in life if:
A) You realize the most of what happens to you in life is beyond your control BUT
B) You also realize how you react to what happens to you is totally within your control.
So stop blaming other people for your reactions and decisions! Crap happens. It sucks. Take a day to sulk and move on. Grow up, take responsibility, and be at peace with it.

He whose not willing to terminate will be terminated.

Seems like the educational level and thought process of supposedly mature individuals in this industry is a bit shy of their age group.

Always think of what choices you will make if Novartis were your own company - Layoff and keep the boat afloat or bleed till the business folds.

You're surprised and upset due to the fact that you were caught sleeping. There's a tonne of things one could do to survive. Don't just sit around and wait for a pay/bonus check

I'm a 25yr old Engineer with an MBA. I own 14 properties all paid off and I only moved to this country 9yrs ago

Never get comfortable at your job -

One would think that an engineer with an MBA might know the difference between "whose and who's."
