New comp plan

Quote







It’s like we don’t have enough external battles to deal with, Now I and others will have to go work for our competition. It’s a dangerous game to play and could end up like spine. They ego’d themselves out of Wright
now cuts. I’ll be looking on from the outside. Good things don’t ever last here.
 








Is this really true on the comp plan? With this comp plan your growth rate would have to increase every year to make more than the old comp plan. In an age of pricing pressures, this is impossible. JnJ wins in long run as cost to sales continues to decrease. I feel they just look for ways to drop rep income gradually over time. No wonder every decent rep leaves

Exactly, "leadership" won't be happy until rep income averages <$150K (maybe even less) because they think we're just set jockeys.
 




Comp plan is not significantly changing. Like all companies, the comp plan is evaluated this time of year to be the most competitive in the medical device business and we will continue to pay sales reps market rate and market leading compensation. You'll get an email from me very soon but until then please stay focused on closing out a successful 2019 sales year. Thank you,

HAHAHAH! I wouldnt be surprised if they did send an email like this.
 












My manager told me that I shouldn’t worry too much. Since they are trying to build cmf back up, significant comp changes are unlikely bc they can’t afford to lose any more reps to the competition. I was told that if growth can’t be achieved within the next 12 months or so, comp will change drastically and managers could be under a scary/serious reorganization. I get worn out on all the changes JnJ makes every year. I miss the boring, stable days of Synthes. What a fantastic company. I wish Hansjorg didn’t sell to JnJ. Now it’s a total shit show

Comp already changed drastically when we went from 12.5 to 11.0.

I would love to know of the roughly 12,500 Synthes employees at the time of the “merger”, how many are still with DPS, and of those still with DPS, how many consider themselves to be in an equal or better position at this point ?

I would guess of the 12,500 Synthes employees, 90% preferred working for Synthes, a company the average person never heard of, vs JNJ, just another $ mongering corporate behemoth.
