Novartis Oncology Layoffs

No one knows what will happen until it happens. Everything else is just rumor and speculation. Won’t hear anything until at least mid November, which is also pure speculation.

Only 2 on the onc side?

All 65+ please just leave, don't embarrass yourself any further and take a job from others who need them.

So, 36 hem reps, 36 onc and whatever they are doing for Seg?

Not separating out the Melanoma like they did Rare Disease?

There’s no way they can go down to only 36 Hem reps. Can you clarify please?

The waiting game is getting harder and harder each day. So many people jumping ship and so many people finding it hard to stay motivated.

No. Two reps per territory = 8-10 reps per Area Manager x 18 Areas = ~180 reps per division. At least that’s how I see it on the Hem side. Most likely pretty similar on the Onc side but who knows. Good luck.

You are a troll. There are no reps of this age.

19 ASMs for hem and onc plus 2 hem, 2 onc per territory each carrying 3 products with the announcement coming on Nov 28, approximately 70 territories

So each manager is going to have approximately 4 reps each? Nice try. I know we’re all just making shit up but at least take the time to SOUND intelligent.

Yes there are. I know of several in late 60’s and even 70’s.

No dumb A** each asm will have 4 territories of 2 reps each so 8 per ASM... I hope you aren't one of the ones kept with that intellect

If is this is correct, that would mean a 35 to 40 percent reduction in hematology, not good.

 

[anonymous]

It's right at 30% once you calculate for seg

I've seen them at meetings, usually dozing off during the day.

The hematology structure listed is correct going from four reps to two per territory, however the oncology sales force is going to three reps and will have an overlay position. There will not be a equal number of reps between hematology and oncology however the geographys are designed to mimic each other.

So 5 total reps per pod or 6?

Poor baby.

Right. They are BEGGING the senior specialists to stay. Offering 200K salary with 8 weeks vacation. The goal is 80% of the field force with 20 years oncology experience. Customers are telling NPC the Xers struggle to conjugate a verb. So sad.
