Question for P4







I haven't heard of anyone in my area. My RFC told everyone that was laid off that it might be a possibility, but not one person has had it happen. I think it was just a bunch of B.S. to give people some hope. Pfizer just did layoffs, do you really think they have much need for additional reps?
 


















does this mean if you are still on p4 then it is temporary? ie maternity leave? or will they get hired on direct sometime? when will they announce the new p4 team? I keep asking but no one knows here in the south.
 






When I got the call last Thursday I was told that there is a possibility that there may be some P4 PC positions open up over the next few weeks. A week has gone by now and nothing. If it does happen, I imagine it will be for very special situations i.e maternity leave or possibly covering a vacancy.
 






I haven't heard of any P4 reps staying in current position. What amazes me if that Pfizer would spend a massive amount of money in hiring and training so many P4 reps as early as 6 months ago only to lay them off in June and again in Sept. Goes to show the massive scope of the earnings that can be made in a measly 6 months of field time, all the while those reps willing to take this job for those 6 months are thankful to have found something in the meantime, only to be put back in the situation they started. Goes to show the only one winning are the pharma companies. We have laws against monopolies in our country, seems like contracts are just another way for the big guys to come out on top and make money all the while the people actually doing the leg work and bringing in revenue get screwed. This industry should be regulated somehow and reps protected in some way.
 






I being retained as a P4, basically filling a vacancy. But, no one knows how long this will be for. We have a conf. call Wed so that may answer some of my questions. Has anyone heard anything more about P4s?
