Tomorrow is promised to no one. Be prepared for any possible situation. Good luck to all. Remember, if you are severed from Novartis, do not apply to Biogen. Their problems are much greater than ours.

Novartis does the same crap. Over hire get the drug off the ground at launch. Then fire 25% after a year and a half.
Good luck tomorrow everyone. Should be an interesting day to say the least.
Hearing roll out will be next week or week after with division wide call first with leadership, then smaller calls for Kesimpta and S1P teams (East/West etc) minor geography shifts to larger territories for new merged teams (S1P/kesimpta specialist) but districts may shrink for ABL’s. Could be in a two rep territory depending on size or a 1 rep with virtual overlay. They really wanted this to be based on business potential and maximizing impact. Overall the reduction could be 10-15% of both teams headcount wise but since they were not backfilling positions in anticipation and the creation of new roles the actual headcount loss could be minimal. As painful as this may be, it is the right business move as the MS division is too bloated and has to slim things down to be better aligned as portfolio selling starts.
More than one person has mentioned we all will hear something this Friday with regards to layoffs and realignments. This whole thing has gotten super crazy!
Also heard Friday might be the big day. What is everyone else hearing? 
They aren’t doing anything this week bc president’s club announcement is Thursday don’t want to kill the positive vibe
Can you imagine winning PC and then getting laid off the next day? Yes, it happens all the time in our industry.
It's going to happen. Do they know people are doing nothing in the field. We are all waiting to see if we have a job. Total shit show.
Agree. It is a state of total paralysis on our team. Hopefully the news comes soon.
How can you apply for other jobs if you're paralyzed. Get off you ass you loser and seize this opportunity to move on. What's the matter with you?
Basically happened to an MSL this summer...
Screw you! Maybe we are paralyzed by a deep snowfall!? Ever think of that???
Please support each other during this layoff. Let's share what other companies are hiring in the neurology space. Spread the word!
Everyone needs to dust off that resume. Protect yourself before get that Friday call.
