Shire has a lot of strengths and we should not be so negative.

We're waiting...
This same question has been asked multiple times in multiple ways about the company and our "leadership". The response is always the same (queue the crickets)
A few months ago Perry had a conference call with the OBU because his management team explained to him that our flat sales came from low morale and disappointment in unattainable goals. It was a rah-rah from the top. Promises of sales contests every month, attainable goals, a true-up on or previous quarter in recognition of their failure to assess where our sales would be. He promised quick payouts. Oh, an no conference calls allowed.
It all sounded good. There were a lot of reps leaving and others interviewing to get out of this OBU due to the drastic turn around in one short year.
Perry's conference call was nothing more than fake news. Lie to us about money and morale sinks even lower. The true-up seems to be a joke. Two months later we still have nothing. He forgot about those contests he promised. That's money from my pocket and yours. I came here for the money. Lots of broken promises that are resulting in a true struggle to get out the door each day. Why go?
That no conference call promise was stupid. We are more isolated. More unhappy, less motivated, and more likely than ever to leave. Or be lazy in our calls.
The complete lack of leadership is astounding. The lies from Perry are unacceptable.

Agreed! Not to mention the meetings will have coming up will be more corporate bullshit. Targeting, details, numbers etc all of which WE DON'T NEED! I feel like what we need is to blow off steam, come together as a group, team-building etc. Morale isn't going to get better until you fix the $ and the MC!
There are entire teams which sole jobs are to evaluate calls entered/metrics/samples left and report the numbers up. Not one of them has ever been in sales. Not one of them knows that all this is no more than an excercise in busy work.
With a biologic, the amount of calls DOES NOT equal the amount of Rx's written. The amount of times you open your iPad DOES NOT mean more scripts. This is the major difference between a real bio-tec (not shire who bullied and bought their way into it). The only way this ever becomes anything like a biotec is to get rid of Perry and replace him with someone who actually knows how to be a successful biotec.

i feel terrible for the baxalta reps. I can't imagine coming from a respected company to this BS. They run this place like old school pharma with call averages and targeting sheets and micromanage the reps all the way up to PErrys level. Even neuro used to be treated like adults.
We are watching you dysfunctional slackers and reporting the horrendous result data of total TRxs and new NRx.
More heads will roll as we are seeing a pattern of incompetence from sales force. Damn, i love this job !
Dear Team,

Is that why the results of the engagement survey say the opposite. Why they say that everyone hates it here, that pretty much every measure got below average?
I knew something must be rotten from Denmark when Phlemg bought Baxalta before the paint was even dry on the sign in Bannockburn.
Baxalta Rep here... I couldnt agree more. People at Baxalta left companies like this 10 years ago. There will be a lot of jobs open in immunology, hemophilia and specialty sales before the end of 2017. But none of us, Baxalta, Shire OR shareholders, asked for any of this.
For mydayis to have buy in at launch it means vyvance not effective enough! Both shitty drugs. Launch is doomed already! Mark this post, within year massive shire layoffs and shitty contract for new hires via Inventiv will be terminated. Look for better jobs elsewhere now!!!
Stay positive and happy. Work hard and don't give up hope. Be open to criticism and keep learning. Surround yourself with happy, warm and genuine people. Shire is still a great company!
Do you pay any attention? Maybe offer your advice up the chain for a change.
Heard the entire OBU is getting together in Oct. Let's hope it's a more laid back, constructive meeting now that we have new management.
Ya it will probably be all meaningless breakouts, long drawn out general sessions, and stupid role plays as a usual. The whole PC PACKAGE at some dump hotel.
Zzzzzzzzz.
