That call….Don’t care to hear about your personal stories, just get to business. This is not an “exciting” time. While you sit back and make your millions and we as reps have all the worries in the world right now with this change. BJ you must be delusional to think the is a “family”. You have no idea what your managers do and how they treat others.

The only jobs you'll be offered is at the call center as a virtual rep!
 












Lots of hype out there but here's what happens next. Here's a pretty good roadmap:

Board is meeting in Bermuda end of Sept to vote if they want to be Uber-rich or not, so we already know how that vote will go. "Acquisition Date" is most likely the first Monday in October.

Know what happens then? NOTHING. You'll go on about your life just like you had before...you'll get the woke Koolaid hose inserted and have to do some bullshit compliance training, but other than that it'll be normal day to day and stay that way until a quarter or so after the launch in Q1.

Pfizer sucks, and they have a long and documented trail of bloodletting after taking over companies. Having said that, they don't have the capacity to take Nurtec to $6B with call centers- at least not right away. For the moment, they'll need everyone and are expecting attrition after the payout so they aren't making "bold moves" just yet.

Ok trolls, blast away with the "you're a Pfizer mole" or whatever you'd like. Come back here a month or so after the acquisition and see who is right or wrong.

That is all...

I feel you are spot on. I do recall when Pfizer acquired King that several King reps were transitioned over to Pfizer. I wish everyone the best.

As with every other integration, who stays or goes will ultimately be determined by geography, market access, etc. Between the cardiovascular and women's health divisions, Pfizer has around 800 reps in the field calling on primary care customers nationwide. There are some geographical holes, particularly in the Midwest and Northwest, which were purposely created with the January 2022 realignment. Those areas are exclusively covered by the call center. The effectiveness of that coverage is up for debate.
 






Who really cares? Layoffs, buyouts are the new normal. Be happy if U have 6-12 months after close date. Take your options payout- retire, wait for severance, look for a new job or just suck it up at Pfizer. Every other pharma rep is looking for a position so quit bitchin.

How long after close do we get our stock payout?

Stock payout? I don't care what your stock grants say or options are worth, you better understand the rules around these divestitures and/or buyouts. Read the fine print and do some research. It usually never goes well, despite what you think you own.
 






Insider here:
Although I cannot share alot of information. Internal discussions are to keep most of the original hires once the transaction is completed. The thought is with the payout, some natural attrition will occur and pfizer can replace with a less costly representative. But since they are paying so much more out to that group they will get one last “effort” out of them for the upcoming launch q1.
Those hired in the last 18 months will likely be severanced out at 24 weeks of pay and cobra insurance starting december 18.
Keep a look out at that time for any fedex packages being shipped to you as the severance packages will be shipped via fedex.

Always with the fedex bullshit. Pfizer will do what ever they want to do and the sales reps will either get cut and severanced or they will keep their job. As long as the checks keep cashing, I will go to work. Because they pay me to do so.

Spot on! This is absolutely correct. There will be moves made but Pfizer isn't stupid and they know they can't dump all these people yet..It would be catastrophic to a drug that has risen to be no 1 in Neurology CGRP
