PIPs already?!

If all this is true, and they are firing over performance based reasons, without a definitive plan…100’s of .rx’s are not be approved on commercial ins… this is a big fat class action lawsuit against Phathom if the affected employees conglomerate would purpose “ power in numbers “ group and bring in a big atty … the hatred for big pharma is real and prevalent ….I think there is a wrongful termination case against them in the making, and I know the mismanagement of rx’s and lies regarding everything….,

Read up on “employment at will,” idiot. We all signed the offer. Best of luck to you.

No. It was right out of the blue. My manager told me at the end of the day let's go to Starbucks and debrief. She pulled the PIP paperwork right out of her backpack. I felt like crying, but I was in public. My manager told me it would be best to get my resume updated and start looking. She said the company is designing these PIPS so that nobody can recover from them. She said she fully expects to get put on a PIP soon herself. The company wants to start next year with a significant number of reps and managers fired without severence to save money.

This really happened. The good news is that I now have an interview next week for a better job.

I forgot to say the PIP was for 30 days. You only have 4 weeks from the date of issue to get your numbers up to an impossibly high goal.

This plan might as well be the equivalent of telling a rep for example “you underperformed in April and you have 30 days to fix April, but it’s September now.

Agree. Phathom Pharma is failing. As a cover up they are blatantly lying and unethically placing reps on performance plans with no prior documented issues, basing their PIP on TRX’s where hundreds are denied by commercial insurance, judging reps TRX on a 30 day window that is over. And this my friends is why Phathom won’t actively arm the sales force with pull through data.

Class action lawsuit yes. Someone want to post an attorney phone number we can call collectively? Who can get this moving?
A group attorney is needed.

This company is wrongfully terminating large groups of employees. They are lying and concealing evidence. The RX’s are written. The RX’s are hung up in denials, rejected for coverage, sitting at Blink Rx, left at local pharmacies bc price quoted is $700. Phathom is withholding this data from its’ sales force. They essentially have a blind sales force. Phathom is manipulating data to serve their purpose of reducing headcount. Their headcount reduction plan goal is eliminate reps and managers, to not pay severance, not pay benefits, not pay salary and bonus, not grant the stock RSU’s granted that vest on Dec 1st. Eighty reps and this is only the start.

The PIP is intentionally vague so your performance cannot be measured to come off the plan. The 30 days of RX’s for the PIP period are over due to 4 weeks lag time. There is no way to measure your progress.

Not true HR doesn’t need

No you are a liar. HR must 100% be present for these discussions. Just another low class troll on this board. I hope every liar here gets terminated. A few disgruntled trying to make this seem like a terrible place.

Somehow my region (not in a big metro area) is doing just fine. I guess they really hired too many LOSERS!!!

THIS IS HOW PHATHOM IS TREATING THEIR REPS WHO ARE DEDICATING PART OF THEIR OWN PAYCHECKS TOWARD PHATHOM STOCK!
 






All part of the Phathom plan. Over hire 340 reps. Get them to buy in to Phathom stock & the product. 30 day PIP a large # of reps with no previous documentation. The 30 days are over and can’t be changed!! Remove half the sales force in multiple waves to AVOID The WARN ACT, avoid PAYMENT of bonus, remove benefits, stock RSU’s will strategically NEVER VEST!!! You aren’t just losing your job… you are losing your RSU stock! Could be $45,000, $60,000 or more! GONE. ALL IN THE PLAN.

Every single rep affected needs to fight. Contact an attorney. Go after this place. If you find someone who wants to take this on, figure out a way to let reps know. Lock arms and help each-other- bc the people at the top are going to have a very Merry Christmas.

And for any manager not defending their reps right now and this unethical process….karma is a bitch. You aren’t above this. And you’re next.

Yes the freaking dog is mostly black !!!!
 












Why work? They are just going to PIP us out of here anyway. Im just concentrating on interviewing and getting a new job. I suggest all of you do the same.

What a CLOWN YOU ARE!! If you know anything you know the business plan is actually to expand the sales force and reduce geography for NERD to add more reps. My manager has made it very clear and I’ve helped her build OUR business plan. This “conspiracy” that the company is downsizing and looking to lay people off for free is absolutely ridiculous. You are a scumbag and you deserve everything that is coming to you.
