Thanks for the info...I guess. Can you provide more details on why 50% (the biggest reduction ever, I believe) and whether it is impacted by local/state current staffing or revenue generation? Appreciate any additional info 'cause knowing my RM the details on Fri conf. call will be minimal...

My RM (who I have regular contact with) is not returning my calls. She was purposely kept in the dark about the content of this meeting, all of which I find very strange,....

So if I understand correctly-
One division
Phr will be cut in half and vaccine will be lumped into that?
TSR will include cluster a, b and IS and then cut in half also?
Either the cluster a or the cluster b DBM will stay. The vaccine and IS dBMs are outa luck!??

 

[Anonymous]

When is Vaccine going to find out? Will we have a call tomorrow also?

Stop. There is not a 50% layoff. Trust me on this one.

Every state/RBU is different. You can't do a blanket 50%.

Stop worrying....earlier this week we had an IS teleconference. It was nothing more than an up-date as to how Obama Care is going to affect Pfizer and our selling environment moving forward. Call an IS rep and he/she is will verify this.

No way is it 50%. I believe the contract force will go before us. This is why they are hired so we can stay. Eliquis is doing great in Europe and a dedicated force needs to launch it which will be us with BMS

People, CHILL! Rumors is all this is. If anyone is getting laid off, its going to be minor.

 

[Anonymous]

The only thing layed off will be your johnsons. They will be swinging from a lamp post like your holiday lights.

Relax everyone, I was at the meetings last week.

The purpose of the meeting was to formulate a new mission statement. It was a very big deal. 6 months ago an outside consultant was hired to comb thru our survey results, review prior mission statements, and interview current and former employees. After extensive review a new mission statement was chosen, a vote was taken, and a new mission statement will be rolled out soon.

It was the best 3 million dollars Pfizer ever spent. John Young spoke during the review process. He spoke at length about the future of Pfizer and our pipeline. One suggested Mission statement stood out in his mind. He sold us hard on why that was the best option (he mentioned how his sales pitch reminded him of the time he carried a bag). And I'm proud to say, we ALL (except for 3 people) agreed with him. The survey was anonymous, but based on the questions required to participate in the voting process the 3 negative voters were identified and will soon be rooted out.

Be on the look out for the NEW mission statement, I'm sure you'll be proud of the time, resources, and resourcefullness of the leadership team.

Also, if you know of a female who would like to be promoted could you please refer them to your RM?
