MED Layoffs

[anonymous]

So email came out to everyone stating discontinuing EOE drug. Have they sent GI reps a separate email stating restructure? I hope for your sake, No!

 

[anonymous]

Yes good luck all ..

I would think "ALL" is the best way to describe it.

 

[anonymous]

Well today is the day. Good luck to all.

In usual Takeda fashion we’ll string these poor people along until 3/31 instead of placing them in other territories where needed. Shameful.

Gamze said...."A number of colleagues will be transitioning out of Takeda as a result". "Starting this morning, we will have a series of conversations with employees who are impacted by the news".

Colleen Picket call at 11:00AM eastern......assuming she will HATCHET all of us! Somebody make sure and ask if we can keep our severance check (due in about 3 months) if we hire on now with Sanofi-Genzyme and sell Dupixent.

Sorry guys.

So, if you get laid off by Takeda, what does the Severance package look like? Anyone know what they gave the last layoff?
I heard:
1: 2 months on the payroll because of WARN rule. Salary + 2 months 100% bonus?

2: 8 weeks + 2 weeks severance for every year worked (is that correct?). Do they round up 14years and 3 months would be 15? 1year and 4 months would be 2 years?
Salary and 100% Bonus?

3: paid vacation days (all vacation days allocated or only earned vacation days)

 

[anonymous]

No warn required because of size of lay off

8 weeks paid plus 2 weeks for every year.
Vacation for what was accrued paid out

Bonus was paid

 

[anonymous]

Warn WILL happen. paid until 3-31

 

[anonymous]

Do we get Q4 bonus if separation is April 4th?

For those curious onlookers........ALL OF TEAM MED WAS JUST SEVERED SHORTLY AFTER 11:00AM WITH AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM COLLEEN PICKET. NO SURVIVORS!!!!

You should be laid off just by asking that stupid question

Hey....they both are based in the Boston area, these people sometimes communicate and could easily share info that could cancel your severance check.

Best wishes to all of the MED team involved in the layoffs, from an NBU colleague hoping for the same.

Something way better is out there for you!

Don't forget to cash in your WE CELEBRATE points. Cancel your storage unit, complete final expense report.

Lundbeck here. Sorry for those who were fired today. As bad as Takeda is, it’s not as bad as Lundbeck. Were any psych reps (Trintellix) involved?

Good luck to all.

Those details will be in your separation package. If you’re gainfully employed elsewhere wouldn’t that be a long-term benefit versus the loss of severance check?

I think Takeda at this point after all they've put team MED through, is all good paying severance to those MED reps that hire on elsewhere starting tomorrow. Why wouldn't they?

 

[anonymous]

Except my severance is going to be about $80K.

I think Takeda has no problem paying severance to anyone who hires on somewhere else after today. After all the trouble with the unsuccessful drug approval which ended on a bad note for MED reps, I think Takeda will NOT enforce (if there is such a clause) any claw back on severance for signing on before the official last day, April 4th.
