One Ms really?

Come Q2 I’m not sure what title you have—gonna be a shake-up on the MS side. Good luck to all and if you have an opportunity someelse take advantage while you have a job to barter.
 
























How do you think Vinny boy got his directors spot?? Kissed everyone's ass from his ABL spot in DC up to home office... that dude has no substance or knowledge outside of corny music trivia or dumb quotes he comes up with. Alicia loved how he complemented her shoes every day.... Heck he even failed his piss test when he started here....too much ambien and pain killers. Thank God I'm in another division.

is this true? Piss test?
 
























The RIF should be more of a 50/50 split from the K and SIP divisions from the news dribbling out of NJ.

There’s more K reps than S1P and there’s more K ABL’s than S1P. So, I don’t think it will be a 50/50 spilt. However, I don’t think as many will lose their job as the rumor mill swirls. The news should come middle/end of Feb/March. That’s what is coming from HQ anyway.
 




Maybe by March. I am starting to interview now and so are many of my teammates. Look what they did to the Aimovig reps. Don't trust Novartis we are all disposable.

Same… my abl knows and is willing to give me a reference for new job which is great that i have that level of trust. It’s nothing personal and I’m not leaving my manager.. I’m leaving the uncertainty of the company and trying to find employment while I’m still employed.

Smart move don't be left holding the bag. I am close to my manager and he agrees we should leave. He called Laverne a moron for the way this has been handled. Best of luck!
 












Lots of people jumping ship, moving around, trying to get rotations, etc. things are gonna get interesting in the next 6 weeks. We should find out the new structure by march.

I hope the package is good. I hear from people in the home office. It is going to be bad up to 40% of the salesforce will be cut.

That number seems really high given that nvs expects Kesimpta to be a billion dollar baby in 2-3 years. I’m hearing more like 20% or less. New territory alignments, potentially new abl, etc.
