Reorg is coming!!







Is this company over yet? I heard ethicon was running a pilot program in Cali. Program entailed TAL running a team of clinical specialists cross trained in a number of the product lines who cover cases but make a salary with no variable.
 






I know of one territory on the east coast in which the TAL left and he was replaced with a salaried clinical sales rep described below. This was done last year and the manager implied it was a test case. The territory has under performed for years due to heavy covidien penetration and contracting woes. Its also relatively rural. The thinking was that it didn't merit a TAL. I can see this becoming a new standard.

It is kind of moronic every time with new leaders in place, changes need to take place just to check the box that they are doing something in the first 90, 120 days. Are we really getting better? Imagine all the time wasted.
 






















































At least 8-10 people were eliminated. Another 10 were assigned to new role, if they want it. Mainly biopatch and specialty plus some brand marketers.


That’s not true at all. The entire biopatch company was let go and no one has been assigned to a new role. 40+ sales reps as well as their corresponding nurses along with marketing and management. A couple TALs were also let go as were people who worked in Sterilmed
