There is something to be said for being able to look at yourself in the mirror and know you did your best, every day. No one is safe and the company needs to make cuts with the market situation. None of that means you have to give up who you are and become one of the whiny, entitled, woe is me kind of people. The people who maintain some level of self pride, do their job, and control what they can control, are often the first to find new jobs too.
Shut up corporate shill . I'll be entering calls from my bed until the phone call & I hope it's in march cuz that's when I'll get out of bed . Forking idiot . What a moronic post Fuck Off & have a miserable new year

There is something in the outlook and demeanor of these people that sets them apart from the whiners and poor me crowd and they survive better as a result.
Good luck to everyone. Plan for the possibility of job loss as best you can. Update your resume, expand your network, save everything you can. Support each other and help out those let go in any way you can!

This is what decent, upstanding people do. You adperate yourself from others on this site. As a part of the baby boomer generation I am appalled at the whiney, self righteous, feeling entitled to something gen Xer's. I have 2 grown children and I know I have instilled in them better values and behaviors than I see from these spoiled brats. I am more proud of my hard working, respective children than ever. I am more disappointed in the work ethic and morals of my apparent co-workers than ever. What losers - I know your parents must be ashamed and feel somewhat responsible for the way you turned out.
Oh go fuck off , this is what "decent, upstanding people do" when thave have "decent, upstanding management" that treats them like human beings during good times & bad , it's not like anyone disagrees with layoffs but the sheer crap novartis pulls & the demeaning humiliating way it treats employees deserves a far worse in response than blowing off working holiday . Velez 2 & 3 would be a good start
I can see you are angry and you may have right to be. However, I am guessing you must be getting something out of the situation or you would leave. That's what gets me. If you are so unhappy, just leave. It makes the odds better for those of us who want to stay. Novartis is not for everyone - so leave, would ya?!
So while I agree that you should always prepare yourself for the worst and maintain some pride in your work, it becomes difficult when you are left with no products to sell on Monday.
It becomes embarassing when you have to let all your physicians know to switch drugs when they have not even given you all the answers to their questions. I am not saying that I dont have pride or work ethic but it becomes difficult when you have been pushing these doctors to use these drugs for years and now you are asking them to switch everyone.
BS. Perfect example of lack of pride and not caring at all is the recent Multaq fiasco. NOT ONE REP worked the week between Christmas and New Years to bring doctors up to date. Would you do business with these jokers? I know I never will again. Ever. Never. You come in my office and act like you care and you beg me to use your "great medical option". Then you find out it kills patients. That can wait, you say, U FN worthless self entitled loser. Your company should have demanded you work and fired your ass if you said no, not given you the option. Guess my New Year resolution.
YOU AND YOUR COMPANY BETTER STAY OUT OF MY OFFICE, ALWAYS!
I had 4 reps come off of vacation the week before Christmas. As a district we hit every physician in our district who had written an Aliskiren product. We will now follow up with all targets and make a second call on the writers. There are some of us out here with a good sense of ethics. We care about our physicians and their patients.
