LAYOFFS











I wonder if they will hit primary care, oncology, or both at the same time.

Nobody is safe. NOBODY. ALL DM's from every division was on conf. call yesterday. I am hearing 30-40% pc/sc layoffs and 10-20% hosp/ oncology. They realize they need part of the hosp/ oncol. division until the HALAVEN launch is over. Everyone will know by the middle of Feb. But it is not just one division. It is ALL divisions.

I call BS. No decisions have been made at all. This is a fact. Not to say they aren't coming, but the above is nothing but someone's imagination.

That is probably a good guess. What is the critera that was used last time? What did the package look like?

Call BS all you want. They knew the potential of eritorin not making it to market. They had several scenarios in place. If it came, if it came w/o the indication they were looking for, if the locked data was bad (which it was). The scenarios have already been determined. Don't fool yourself. Home Office was not un prepared for this. They have their contingencies in place. Call BS all you want, but the fact is, Home Office does know what is going to happen. LC is heading to Japan to get the sign off.
 









Looks like PC will get hit again. And these assholes have pfizer covering the 23 for now , so they could layoff a lot of us. MArket is really bad, know some people from last layoff who are still looking. Get your resumes out now before you get the ax- no one wants to hire people who are not working

Home office will be hit also, not just field.

Fair enough. Do you know what the time frame is and how many of us will get axed?
 






I would say the combined Hospital/Onc team only needs about 100-120 tops. Do the math now. There are 92 Onc reps and 115 hospital reps presently. That mean almost 50% reduction.

I'm sure LC willing be calling you for your opinion. On the other hand, he would take a dump on you before he cared about your opinion.

It's not really my "opinion", it is how the other Onc companies are set up. Look at the drugs in the "bag" and you can see we have about 2 times too many reps presently.

They will cut non producing halaven territories, easy and justified, you don't need a rep for a low producing territory. It's not that complicated.
 



If the company is preparing for lay-offs, then why have they advertise for jobs as recently as 2 days ago? Does anybody know the Albany, NY territory? Who was the rep? Who is the manager?

What about primary care? I know that most of you are oncology reps, but we would love some opinions if you think it will affect us.
