I was laid off from Pfizer 6 years ago and in retrospect I couldn't be happier!!!

I posted the message.

Believe what you want. I left on my own, and never looked back.

Possibly others can benefit from a truthful, honest post...to encourage them to recognize that there is life beyond pharma.

Why do I periodically check this site? I hold a vested interest in Pfizer, as I hold a Pfizer pension. It is a shame to see how the company has continued to spiral down...and I wonder if I/we will be able to receive ANY of the pension to enjoy durng retirement.

This topic is related to folks like me...and hence I thought a comment could encourage those that were recently laid off.

Glad I don't check this that often...as any positive post turns into a negative rant.

Blessings to you all!

Yes, you did get booted. And yes, you did look back (you are on this board, idiot).

Like most others, you wish you still had your old gig and now you hang around the board wishing it was the good old days.

Whatever!

Whew...try to be positive...and the bitterness continues.

When my Pfizer pension information letters arrive periodically, again, I wonder if I am ever going to be able to see any benefit from a company that may no longer exist when I retire!

Again, folks, there IS life after pharma! I thoroughly love my new gig. I am grateful for the years I had in pharma...which prepared me for the future.

Bitter no? Happy? Indeed!

Happy New Year!

Yes, you are bitter. Take a look at how you keep coming back. People that have moved on and are happy, don't hang around an industry chat board.

I left on my own and now work as a home health rep. I am having a hard time getting any loyalty from my referrals even with decent physician relationships. Any advice? I do find the work more rewarding, but the constant torture of attaining the numbers is grueling. Thank you in advance.

Here is your advice: Get back into Pharma.
