first should be DM, the worthless CFO and his army of worthless CFOs and army of pencil pushers who all they do is identify opportunities to save money by laying off people...then MB, the used car salesman from Canada, who can't sell his ass from a hole in the ground....then basically what peer else is left aka the worthless surgical business with the pretty funny efa that are,questionable...finally sell the contact lenses to 5-10... That's all

FTW produces pharma product. Alcon does not produce pharma product anymore, it is technically Novartis's now. So when Alcon is sold there will be massive layoffs in manufacturing with the exception of surgical and VC stuff. NJ will take over pharma mfg.

The Novartis facilities that will take over Alcon pharma are not located in New Jersey but are scattered around the world. Good luck.

Aspex is Novartis pharma. FWN is currently Alcon MTO but that can change.

My understanding was that the layoffs would be based on tenure. So some of those at FWN might be replaced with those at ASPEX.

They're fucking stupid. That's why they are going in the toilet. They have to bribe doctors to buy their shit!

Why in the world did Novartis spend millions of dollars rebuilding all the offices and cubicles only to propose rebuilding them AGAIN for millions of dollars just two years later?

Because they love to waste money?
