Agreed!!!! Nothing to do with numbers, seniority or anything. Drew from a hat. Kept some real winners.

I hope those who got cut find greener pastures. This isn't right. Not one part of this was right.

NYC/LI area DM - just got canned. I can't believe they would do this to me, a "company man" who always did their dirty work and busted the reps to work harder. They had promised me a promotion, well I guess I now know what they meant when they said I would get my reward in the end. Yes right up my ass !
 












See, that's the whole deal. It is an algorithm. If you fit within the parameters you are officially knighted for 8-12 months. That is why freaking or killing yourself at the first lay-off warning flair is futile. IT IS RANDOM for the majority of front-line personnel.

As for the top two floors and corner office, that is most likely of knife fight.

The 10% number speaks to the total number off employess. If you look at the number of reps its 30-40%

No it's not dummy. It's 15% tops of the reps. We had 3 people let to in our entire region of 100 people. The 15% was always a national number, not on a local basis. For all you people that always complained about access and you don't make a difference in you territory, well today the company is telling you, "you know I agree with you--- see ya"

With any luck tonight you will get run over by a train.
 






Enough with the bashing already. Some of us that were let go were appreciative to have a job- and didn't complain about access or make excuses. In addition, there were many kept that haven't been working for years. If you have a job, appreciate it and stop lecturing those who don't. I know several trustworthy and hardworking people who have been let go.
 






It is in no way a massacre. I was the only one on my team cut, 3 total on linzess side of division. No DM or spec DM cut at all.

It's just business, it's not performance or anything else - just a corporate consultant formula.

Now go drive stock price up so we get a good bid from Pfizer end of year.
 






RECRUITER HERE: Hey guys and gals please answer the call from your local recruiter. WE HAVE THE JOBS ! There's more layoffs coming so even if you survived this week there's a massive one coming again.

Thanks so much. I didn't realize upper mgt called their recruiters and told them of upcoming layoffs. Go away loser
 






I've talked to some people that were let go & they're very happy. If you have been here for a decent amount of time, you got a great package. After hearing all they get, I wish I was let go. Would be nice to take some time off and relax.
 


















Nobody should be surprised at who stayed or goes (went) given that this is the umpteenth layoff in pharma..how many of you know 'good' reps let go by other companies..yes, drawing names out of a hat would have saved the company tons of money on consultants but the lawyers in HR killed that idea a long time ago.
 












Law of averages. It may have been just over 10% nationally, but certain regions took a 40-45% hit, ie New England. Congrats to those who kept a job and congrats to those who got a reasonable package, especially those who stuck around for a long time.

Watch...within 12-18 months, Valeant or Pfizer make their bid and the package won't be so sweet and who knows what they'll want for a sales force. Decisions this time were arbitrary. This is clearly illustrated by those who were in Atlantis two weeks ago and are now gone.

Best of luck to all my friends who are gone. Everyone else, welcome to corporate America.

There never seems like a logical reason for how these decisions are made. I have been "displaced" 2 times in my career; both times I was in the top 15% and had good years prior. Others that were kept had ranked the lowest on the team for several years running. It makes you shake you head and say " how did this happen to me". But many of us have been through this situation more than once; today was the 7th time in 15 years that I sat by the phone to see if I had a job. It is never easy, and I truly feel for each that last your job. Hopefully you will find another one that pays well and is fulfilling to you. Good luck.
