Cuts in NS is coming however most rep's in this division should be able to be reallocated to other areas. Men's health, Cardio, Diabetes will have big changes- low performers will be forced out. This will open some spots for displaced NS reps.

NS rep's will tenure and performance need not worry upper management does not want to lose our best rep's because the opportunity cost is to high.
 






I'm curious to know what makes you think that NS has any type of exclusivity to openings in any other division. Do you truly believe that NS has a brain trust that the other divisions lack? I have been through many of these reallocations in the past. I have seen perennial top performers in all divisions loose there job and those who are mediocre even poor performers keep their job. Don't be naive enough to believe that any one group or any one individual is immune to a reallocation. There are so many variables that are used in their calculations that it is impossible to calculate who will stay and who will leave

Arrogant, false sense of security for NS folks that will end badly. If it makes you sleep better in the meanwhile, it's understandable. It won't be fun or pretty. It's a sad deal indeed.

How is Cardio not most at-risk?

I think cardio is as safe as any division. Translation: NOBODY is safe. Every division has areas that can and will be trimmed. If anyone thinks they are safer than anyone else, I suggest they (WE) listen very carefully when Uncle Johnny gets on the horn on Sept. 12.
Good luck to all.

I've never seen a top performer get reallocated. They always have found places for top performers that wanted to stay. I was in the Midwest maybe its different in other areas- now I'm in Indy. Plans have already been drawn up for numerous situations and NS top performers have a place in all the plans. Fair or not- upper management feel our best sales people reside in NS.
 






Well if I am in the audience at a NS meeting all of the brass stokes evernody's ego in the room by saying only the best and brightest are in the room with them. If you are in a MSK, Cardio or Diabetes meeting the brass in that room says the same thing about that audience. It's called playing the room. But if it makes you feel better, Of course NS has the best the company has to offer. My suggestion would be to not make any major financial obligations until the dust settles.

Yes, there is no input from management, period.

You and you only are entirely responsible for your future.

Having been through this at another company, I can assure you that "no input" is the new model. It keeps the lawyers off their backs as they just point back to ZS who comes up with the Plan. But its not up to only you. I moved into a bad territory with a promotion six months before it started and that went on my review along with the ratings. Gone.

I watched multiple national award winners get displaced due to geographical considerations and bad timing. I'd say they get it about 60% right with who to keep and who to cut.
 






Initial decisions made by ZS however those displaced in NS will have help via directors and area management in back filling spots across divisions. NS directors will be kept and will be leading new divisions. Folks I sit in the meetings- I'm sorry if the truth hurts or you can't accept it. Top performing reps in NS will be safe if willing to take other spots throughout country. Diabetes, Cardio, Men's health and MSK will fight for the scrapes- with how the plan sits as of now (well last meeting I was in about this was a month and a half ago but this is common theme for last year). Contingency plans regarding our pipeline (or lack of) now that drugs have not made it through (mglu, effient study, solanezumab, etc...still waiting word on NERI) plans will be put in motion.

Again this is fact I've heard it with my own ears.

You are no insider but you are a fraud and a liar.
