Oncology goes from 4 to 3

I heard! Home office shake down, then sales force! Happy 4th everyone, for half of you, it's the last with Novartis! Amgen is loving this huge distraction, all my customers talk about is if we will still be their rep after our re-org! Dr asked me why we are firing and Amgeb is hiring? Must be a better drug?
 




































No wait...the week of the 21st...no sorry, August 1...Idiot

All right idiot. Let me explain it to you slowly.
The 19th is when Novartis announces their earnings for the quarter. 30 days before the
earnings date companies are in what is called a quiet period. During this period companies do not release any information that may effect the stock price unless absolutely necessary. Therefore your prediction of this week will not happen, any announcement of cutbacks will occur shortly after the earnings are announced, hence the 19th or shortly thereafter.
 






Must be a new rep drinking the Novartis Kool-Aid. We will see next week when your butt is looking for an Onc job and the market is flooded with Novartis reps!! They do not tell managers anything as they gossip more than the reps. They will tell us as soon as they hang up the phone and they are definitely in the dark on this one. The only ones that know are the RD's and they had to sign a major confidentiality form. Still some RD's can't keep their mouth shut, like M.E. who loves to run his mouth. Heard from another rep he said we are going down to 2 regions, East and West, new East region meeting in Atlanta week of September 12th, and Novartis is taking a charge against Femara sales this quarter to cover the re-org charges, shall I go on......? Onc 1 and 2 only, ya, ya, ya!! So yes, we all know whats going on and we know it goes down next week!! Seatbelts on for this bumpy ride and us in the North will be buried I hear?

Yes, only an East and West Region now. Reps will find out tomorrow if they have a job.
