Offers ??

This is not a good opportunity. BI is looking for someone willing to take orders from their reps. Not a good gig. You'll have 2 managers(BI manager will be very involved) and 3 partners ordering you around.

Laughable.
If you're the type that allows yourself to be ordered around, you might question why your contributions to a team are not respected. Do your job well and you will be respected for what you bring to the table. If you can't or won't do your job well....move on. There are too many others that would love to have your paycheck.

Your crazy. You've obviously never done contract. You don't allow them to push you around, it's just how it is.

People only treat you "how you allow them to". You should allow NOBODY to push you around.

These are the worst type of contracts to be on. If we were managed by Ashfield it would be great. Prepare for a year of abuse, stress and punishment only to be let go.

I was told that Ashfield recruiters would have a decision today. Has anyone else heard similar information?

I think it depends on the territory, some haven't even been moved through to BI manager yet. I heard August 10th

My word...I life is not that bad.

Manager just told me that positions will be filled by BI reps that were let go earlier this month.

gentle readers:
In contract work you, in this example, work for Ashfield and with BI, BMS, whoever. They are the client and while one must adhere to their guideline, there are still contractual obligations that need to be met. In other words, do what you need to do to make bonus and play the game.
I have had great teams that instantly bonded and others that couldn't be bothered.
Whatever. Protect your job. Some Corp. reps still think that they are superior to contract. On my current contract I have three presidents clubs winners(including myself). Neither is more secure and the salaries are get very similar. The times they are a changin!

You are absolutely correct. Many of us were very tenured reps with big pharma. Targets when downsizings take place. NOTHING to do with performance.
I can honestly say I made a huge positive difference on the last contract I worked.

I was told that it will be a couple of days before we know. That some territory's are still moving forward, and that others are being offered to displaced BI reps.

Were you told this today...or last week?

 

[anonymous]

I was told today

The BI reps haven't even been told her from their interviews, so it will definitely be after that.

I was moved forward to pre-placement interview, now it is on hold. Does anyone else have any additional information?

 

[anonymous]

i had a preplacement interview, and was told that BI would have first dibs on the positions. The reps will be offered a lower pay than they were previously making. If they decline, the territory will open to Ashfield reps.
