Massive Ethicon layoffs on Monday

Quote






I am very sorry for all those that have been let go today. You and your families are in my prayers. There is life after JNJ and hopefully it will be a better one. You will land on your feet, it is just the transitional part that is rough. Good Luck!
 






who hires people and then lets them go during training? jnj does! they did this a few years ago in the womens health pharma division. what a bunch of assholes. they knew this was going to happen but its all about acting like everything is cool and business as usual so they dont tip anybody off and disrupt the stock price. you cant tell me they woke up friday morning and said "lets have a layoff". this was in the works for months.
 
























Some SSR's are being axed, some reps,DM's, RM's. CSR's will replace some HSR's where they consolidate territorys. Then they can eliminate the problem of duplicate reps, CSR's are already capable of doing HSR's jobs.. Maybe if they stop paying for reps that are not working, they can pay the other reps that do work a better much deserved salary. They might be increasing the CSR salaries next year by doing these cuts, time to trim the fat! But dont hold your breathe on that, nothing is as it seems! Sorry 4 those who lost jobs today: this is how the industry works, lay offs are inevitable, you are never safe , theres no job security. Y'all will get severance packages so dont worry, be happy now.

The call just ended and we know this: These are the changes:
less than 6% of sales team let go
37 HSR/CSR divisions to 30 Divisions- 7 DM's
2 Regions eliminated- 2 Regional Managers let go
Oct 14 is last day for people laid off
Severance packages to all
Comp plans stay the same====== no changes to pay
PDM stays same------------
May be eligible for vacany pay- if you lost HSR or CSR make sure to ask your Mgr about this
2012: TBD
 






The good news here folks is you now have Ethicon on your resume and you know as well as I do many companies will jump on you just for having worked here. The training you received and contacts you made are valuable to many different companies.

YOU WILL MAKE MORE AND BE HAPPIER! Hang in there everyone. Ethicon is and always will be a great place to be..........FROM!!! Fuck JNJ.
 






You can thank Obama! He is kiling America one one company at a time. BSC, Covidein, Mentor, St J, S&N, EES and Stryker are all letting good sales people go. It is really sad. It use to be safe in sales but now regardless of what you deliver you can be a casuality.

Where should I go??
 










































Sorry to hear of the layoffs. Did this come out of the blue or were there rumors layoffs were on the way? I just dont get it. They list positions and hire for them yet they do a major layoff?

Did anybody catch wind of this or did this surpise everyone? Good luck.
