Field layoffs? Thinking I should’ve taken another opportunity after the layoffs in March. Especially after they dangled the carrot about us MS reps having a chance to interview for Zura. Can’t wait to see how many of those hires don’t even have psych selling history since thats who they “hired”.
 




































Best thing I did was leave this crappy company years ago. After hearing of yet another layoff, had to check this sight. The bad news is Biogen gives out industry worst severance. The good news is nearly every company you end up at is better than this clown show.

I was laid off in March, met IC’s, met the jokes of our metrics etc. So for one I don’t know why I was laid off. Two, they should’ve just kept the weak severance. Ended up elsewhere and grass is definitely greener.
 






Glad people have a job I truly am. But I find it funny how they hire the same people they laid off in March on the depression side. Talk about wasting money. They should’ve gave us Ms reps more of an opportunity to go sell Zura and then layoff from there. I have 12+ years in sales and was told I don’t have psych experience just for them to hire someone from the outside who doesn’t have psych experience. Don’t get me started on the Rd’s.
 
























Silly Biogen.

If anyone good is still there beyond near term retirement employees, wtf are you doing?

It will be a shit employer for 5 years at least. 18 months to reduce 11 percent through layoffs and increasing misery index? Sounds fun and I am sure the culture will be top notch. Biohell gets more hellish.

Improvement would be laying off 80 percent of HR (and eliminating CPO) and 50 percent of finance. But that won't happen. Instead the toxic, useless leadership will be the only ones immune from the toxic stench of their preferred environment.

Have fun. Remember the analyst who said tear it down for parts. Probably should have listened.

How would laying off 80% of HR help? I get the distaste for HR as much as the next guy but you can’t possibly be this dumb

At least 80 percent of biogen personnel is pretty useless. They cant ID the other 20 percent anyways but that is a different problem. And hr is below average.

Laying off people and won't be recruiting much. So that is idled.

HR has been a major force in destroying the culture. So you don't really want their "help" on that.

Beyond managing benefits and executing layoffs, not sure what they are doing other than further deteriorating the environment with stupidity.

70 to 80 percent seems about right when combined with hr tasks that can be outsourced.

Did you get a written warning or something
