You should probably go ahead and close on your home. If you get let go, you’ll get a severance and have an opportunity to get another job. If you try to get a mortgage after getting let go, you’ll be challenged by any mortgage company about your time on a new job

I just hope you didn't "overbuy" or base that new mortgage payment on your current Novartis salary. Pharma jobs are becoming more and more scarce and if you do happen to land somewhere, the base pay out there isn't what we make here!!!

I disagree. The pharma job market is strong. Just take a look at the postings. Salaries are competitive with novartis if not better with a few exceptions. Build up that emergency fund but know there are decent options out there

All I have to say is CRM leadership in the Northeast has been awfully quiet the last several weeks, ABL’s to the top. No comments from anyone surrounding this weeks town hall. Amazing how quickly things change when people know they could get cut.

Wishing the best to everyone. Keep our fingers crossed.

Its not just the Northeast. Not even an acknowledgement here. It really is surreal.
 




I’m still fairly new to the company so needless to say I’m surprised to hear talk of layoffs already. Is there a particular division/therapeutic area that will get hit with layoffs or is it company wide? Will sales people be effected??

QUOTE="anonymous, post: 6700269"]There is no official date given at Novartis. They tell you it's safe, not to worry, then bang.....don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. It has happened to several divisions in the past couple of years.[/QUOTE]
