National Conference Call Update

They are not obligated nor should they pay us severance. What about the pay and bonuses etc all these years and the quality of life that had provided. It was a great run. New leadership has let us down but all good things come to end.

Your crazy. You said it, "leadership let US down" therefore we should get a severance. I agree Shire is a great company which is why they will do the right thing.

You be the first to go then since you don't value your own work, loyalty, worth, or providing for your family.
 






You guys havent started looking for jobs. hahhahahahahahahahahh good luck with that pharma background. Might as well work as a bank teller

r*****s

Wow. Some people are so ignorant. I left Shire a week ago because I was looking for a sales job that was more challenging, and guess what - I found my DREAM job. And it's not in pharma.

I too was ready to be let go because I knew there was better opportunities out there. There are ALWAYS opportunities.

Where did you go?
 






I am not going to single myself out as the former rep that still goes on the cafe pharma page for Shire news, so I will just say that I found a job that markets exclusively to medical offices. Obviously companies like that will value experience working with doctors - even pharma experience.

That is so vague you shouldn't have bothered
 






The severance package is posted on Orbit. Its not like its some big secret or special deal..
However, I dont think you qualify for one if you are SC'd.-Made like Arnold-Terminated.
 












I must say aside all the bull you read on cafe pharma it is truly sad that Shire is having layoffs. Maybe I was brainwashed but I always thought we were solid and this would not happen anytime soon. I pray for the reps and families affected by this and hope everyone will find a job fast!!!

We wouldn't be worrying about layoffs if we didn't have that huge expansion. It was obvious to me that the expansion was a mistake as soon as I saw my lower ranked doctors with a market volume of between 5 and 10 patients a month.
