Many More Layoffs to come in September

I heard the combined bag rep left the central Ohio territory that included OSU. Is this position still open? Why did he leave? Was he ran off because of his tenure or was he a casualty of layoffs?

OSU has the highest % of Covidien EMID utilization of any large committed IDN. Very little upside growth potential for the reps, especially with case volumes down around 3%-6%.

They can't layoff many more individuals. Our roles are too important and someone needs to be in the surgical suites telling the surgeons how to do their jobs. After all, we aren't just glorified pharma reps.....or ARE we??!?!?

Wow, telling them what to do? When the gvt gets back to work, I'm sure OIG may want you to elaborate on what you mean.

Shitty products and increasing procedure costs with complications seems to effect more than hospital budgets

The docs have never used a balloon or stent. I'm sure turning a device on and off is such a challenge.
