Layoffs and / or reorganization

[anonymous]

We have heard that it will be one manager per state (district) and no more crossing over state lines to manage. When is this happening?

Not possible. Some states are too small to have their own manager.

In respiratory this time last year they reorged so doubtful in this division.

Respiratory sales force is already very lean. Diabetes is the only force with room to cut.

There are 3 regular respiratory reps plus an overlay for one of me in diabetes. Some areas are way underweight in diabetes.

Are you high? Seriously, respi has zero pipeline line and it is at the end of its life cycle. The competitors in our area have white spaced large areas that we still call on. At best, this sales force should have 1 Bi rep calling on pulms and high targets and contract the rest. So maybe 1-2 reps per state at max! In fact, all contract reps would probably not change the numbers too much! I think you are lucky that BI has a sentimental devotion to respi because I think you are way over staffed.

Reorg to happen towards end of Q2, so technically, Q3 will begin with a new slate. Good luck to all in Respiratory.

weird. Most people are overweight when they have diabetes.

those 3 reps are not a good investment for the respiratory pipeline. Simple math.

No more reps crossing state lines to cover neighboring territories either. If you don’t live in the same state as your territory, you are gone. Find a position where you live. Geography will be a deal breaker

Reps home location and geography of territory have always been the main factors. Work load & where you live like always.

Hmmmm I'm the only rep and I put 3800 miles a month on my car. White space? My competition has 3 reps in my footprint to little ol me..Over staffed..HARDLY.

The normal every 6 months scare attempt. Respiratory is good until generic Handihaler comes around early 2023. See you in 6 months.

AOB insider here - HH generic approval imminent before year end. This + Trelegy SNDA for Asthma this year = reorganization. Get ready respiratory folks...it’s going to be a very bumpy ride into 2021. Good idea to update that resume and look for opportunities elsewhere...

Opportunities are plentiful right now. Recruiters are looking at LinkedIn and calling people. Don't let BI decide your fate.

I never realized AOB stood for Australia Office of Boehringer.

So much for transparency! I guess management forgot to tell us about this

“We are going to be transparent, honest and forthcoming......” lol

Maybe they just need more time to release the email. This only happened on February 10, 2020. Haha

Nope, wrong. There was no need to tell you about this.
