Layoffs in CV before the year ends

Wrong! You can do much better, I did. I left CV on my own and making more money. True, the same BS exists throughout pharma but Novartis is baaad. If you you want to stay, stay but don’t complain. At least update your resume so you’re ready when the layoff hits.

There is life after Novartis. Everyone deserves to be treated well, respected, and given fair opportunity. The poor culture at Novartis is truly toxic and will eventually start to permeate other aspects of your life if you let it. There is no perfect job, especially in pharma. But there are better opportunities with a civil culture out there. You just have to take the appropriate steps and look.
 




If you’ve been at Novartis for any length of time there’s a lot to lose by going to another company. Our total compensation is really good between vacation time, personal time, sick days, company holidays, combine that with all of the other benefits for retirement etc and it makes it hard to match at other companies. Hanging on by a thread here and praying senior leadership will pay attention to how miserable
People are.

Re-read your last sentence.
Were you on the C.V. call last week? The one where they ignored bonuses and territorial goaling?
The one with no mention of Dez's call metrics?
Look, you have your reasons and that's understandable, but don't put yourself through the mental gymnastics of thinking anyone in leadership cares.
They didn't at launch, they didn't after the FTO disaster, they don't now and they won't a year from now.

Spot on. Anyone who thinks there is a light at the end of this tunnel in cv is delusional.There are opportunities out there if you are willing to explore them. Compensation here isn’t anything to write home about. The simple truth is that nobody cares in cv management about anyone or anything but themselves. It’s how business has always been done here, and it’s never going to change.

I was one of the Terminated CV PCP folks. Novartis has been very generous in the severance package. But it pails to the HELL I endured in CV PCP for 3 years. I spent most of my 30+ career calling on Cardio so please ease up on PCP are dud reps. In truth the PCP force should have been smaller with larger geographies chasing those who actually wrote Entresto and later would order Leqvio. To have 2 reps was pure madness. Novartis seems to be willing to waste millions of dollars following the old & dead call metrics model that died in 1990. It takes true honesty to say you only need 1/4 of the reps you have to accomplish your goals. Then stop creating layers of ABL pay level managers that work 5 hours/week and don't create product growth.
Wishing you all find success somewhere, at Novartis or beyond. We know our best days were the few we actually helped patients find solutions to their healthcare. The rest was making Veeva happy.

I love it when they say we have gotten better at calling on T1s and T2s. Ummm, we’ve gotten better at entering calls on them, fools. If you force us to enter calls on them, we will enter calls on them. The problem is it distracts us from actual revenue producing activity. Of course, you also told us T1s and T2s are also showing the greatest weakening of Entresto sales. So yeah, let’s double down on what’s not working.
You know what would work? Letting us focus on sales and paying us for it.

I blame Novartis for teaching me how to enter fake calls and become the ubiquitous sample dropper.
Real calls no longer matter since they want calls entered on the same people every week. I can only sample drop them every so often and only one provider in the office will sign, so I have to fake some of them.
Imagine if I just went out and made total office calls to pull business through and could just use Veeva to keep track of what I did instead of Novartis using Veeva to keep track of me. I know I would work harder and my numbers would be better, but this is what Novartis wants.
