Typical JNJ. One day you feel like this place is the greatest, the next they are blowing people out. Sorry for the folks who lost jobs. This place is a sham, and its all about the name JNJ and stock price.

That's not true...We here at JnJ live by the Credo. Once a year we even get to take a survey about how much the credo means to us...


YEAH RIGHT>>>>WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!

"remain in the field conducting business. You will receive the associated business update request via outlook." This is the message 270 people got. There has been no other communication aside from this. My entire division got this message. Only to CSR and Hernia

So if 270 got emails what about the other 80 in the sales force?
 




That's because the turnover rate at EWHU has been 70% over last 3 years. nobody knows anybody any more.

What Division are you in? I'm EWHU in the East and got my email and Outlook correspondence already.
 












suture will begin sending out Outlook correspondence tomorrow as the email stated. EWHU just got an early jump on it. that is how cold they are here...thank you MH for not having a heart and sending out that request prior to the weekend. People had to sit around all weekend long and just have their stomachs ripped out

normally 1 month per year of service, keep benefits as long as you are on severance, all the other stuff will be coordinated following the call. Just don't answer any calls coming in that you don't know and keep delaying them.

What division are you in. My call is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon

JnJ severance for pharma was 2 weeks for every year of service. I'd be shocked if it were one month per year.

What time is your call?
 








Seriously-who sends out an email on a Friday night saying to be in a "quiet place" for a call Monday morning. Then sends out a request for an entire field call on Monday afternoon?? Couldn't they have spared EP reps anxiety levels through the weekend and just sent that email out Monday morning??
This makes no sense!!!!

We know EWHU is having calls today but what does this have to do with EP? Why the dreadful email on Friday night? Scare tactics are working and until 430 I will remain in a "quiet place"
 




I do not hear anything that indicates mass Ethicon suture- mesh layoffs. At Endo, when they had some restructuring, I have heard they called affected reps earlier than the afternoon conf call for a private discussion. If the phone rings from a strange number, remain in your quiet place and do not answer.

That's funny. Don't answer? I'd rather know.
 




From very good sources, all indications are that the suture-mesh DMs do not know much. It makes no sense to do large layoffs without much involvement from field management. I expect an update on Mentor, EWHU, the hiring freeze (and the new hires that were let go in training), severe cuts in budget for the rest of the year. There will be a review of business plan with strong direction to finish the year on track. There may also be some territories that are open not filled and divided with existing territories.

All bets are off, but that is a scenario that could play out.
