Layoffs?

Am I the only one who is wondering how much Johnson and Johnson paid US News to be listed as one of the best places to work? You read any of the other post regarding JnJ and the all same the same thing. Worthless, backstabbing managers etc.... Of course we're expecting the king of all managers to make a difference which is silly. I sincerely hope Tim and Kip really take the opportunity to make some big changes. But I don't think it is going to happen.

You're going to let cafepharma posts shape your view of the company? Who do you think really posts the negative stuff on this or any other board? Disgruntled employees, ex-employees and competitors. If you work here, make up your own mind. If you don't then do some research other than an anonymous Internet site. I have been with J&J over 10 years and have been treated very fairly. I do my job and respect my management and have not had any issues. I come on cp for entertainment value because that's all it's good for. I can never understand why people come on here to bash the company but don't just leave?! If your that bitter no one is forcing you to stay.

Best post I've ever seen on CP. The majority of people that post on here are either already fired or on a performance plan and on their way out. I come here for the entertainment.

In my experience and I have been in this industry for a while, this is a good website to go on when rumors of reorgs come up. Some of the postings are very accurate. Don't forget that there are some dogooders out there who want to protect people and sometimes the company wants people to leave on their own to avoid the number of people that they have to lay off.
 






I come here because there is no where else to vent my absolute frustration and entertainment. That being said, Have a great Labor Day everyone. Try to spend some time relaxing and not worrying about all this crap.
 






What are they supposed to be covering on the bi-weekly conf calls? It seems like they have everyone picked out if they can announce the Sales directors and DM's within a few weeks of each other. So why not just tell us?
 








































































Just saw line up. I could fall into 2 different regions so I guess I have to wait and see who's confernce call I'm on. Wish I could say I was happy with either one but one I do know and strongly dislike and the other is a complete unknown. Still seems like the buddy system to me and also looks like the criteria was tenure. Although I'm not 100% on that. i don't know how long the folks who are leaving were with us. Anyone else know? If so, they could tell us how the DM's will be placed. Tenure and geography.
 






Yep, and expect the same ratio for DMs. EWHU stands no chance if you are a DM. DMs interview the week of Sept 17th. They have a one time shot with a brutal panel. Ouch! May the good stay and the bad EXIT!

Well they interviewed so I don't think tenure would have had much impact. It may be a factor for reps who knows? I know a couple of the RDs let go have 20+ years
